As quotes from The Sun on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, when Nick Szkiler heard about an armoured classic sports car rusting away on a Russian farm, he was immediately approached and found the shell of an almost identical 1942 cabriolet Mercedes.

Nick has been asked to find a buyer. He said, "There’s little doubt that this was also Göring’s. It would take at least a seven-figure sum to recondition it, then it’d be worth £12 million."
Can you imagine the £12 million or approx US. $18.321 million. Wow... That's a very expensive for a car that was found on a farm in Russia. But, for some rich classic car collectors that numbers is considered appropriate. Moreover, besides having a high historical value, the Mercedes 540K Special Roadster is built as many as 26 units. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE SUN]
