This rare Benz 21/50 from 1914 was manufactured by the Kruck body store in Frankfurt/Main. The chassis came from the Rheinische Automobil und Motorenfabrik A-G Benz & Cie Mannheim. It was already equipped at this early time with an in-line 6 cylinder with 5.340 ccm capacity. For Benz, this rounded off the top end of the product range, which included various types. When the car was presented, no one could have guessed that war would break out that year. The purchase price of the car was estimated at 16,850 Marks, which meant that only a few models were built. There is no confirmed data from these years, but the number of cars produced was probably less than 100. In 1928, 14 years after the production of this elegant sedan, it came to the Technik Museum in Dresden and remained there until the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2004 a German entrepreneur acquired the car and integrated it into his collection. An available copy of correspondence from 2004 reports its return from inspection with excellent results. The technology works perfectly and is not worn out, it was reported. Sensational for a car that will soon be 100 years old. Now the car is to be sold into new loving hands with expertise for a 100+ year old automobile. We are very curious who will acquire this very special automobile and piece of contemporary history. A cream piece for every collector.
