The MagazineMercedes 500 K claimed by first owner's heirsDuring last week's Techno Classica a 1935 Mercedes Benz 500 K Roadster was claimed by a bailiff acting in name of the heirs of the first owner, Hans Friedrich Prym. The car is currently owned by dutch collector Frans van Haren, who bought it at auction with RM at Monterey in 2011. Before that it was owned by various owners. Current knowledge is that first owner Prym sold the car to a US soldier in 1945. The heirs of Prym however argue that the car was not sold but stolen and now want it back. Probably a not very easy to defend position. Hans Prym is said to have been an industrialist who ran his business with nazi convicts. We also found an interesting article dating back to 12 march 1945 in the Australian Argus that refers to an earlier article in the russian Izvestia.

PreWarCar.com is the truly international webmagazine and marketplace with the focus on motorcars, automobiles and motorbikes made prior to 1940. The best known platform for antique and brass cars, veteran and edwardian motorcars, vintage and post-vintage sports cars and racing cars. But for sure also family cars and even trucks. You will find here - or can upload by yourselves - news on coming auctions, autojumbles, concours d'elegance, rallies, races, hillclimbs, dusty barnfinds and fine books. And of course specialists and more. Plus of course pre-war, brass, vintage, post-vintage and classic cars for sale. And tons of used, pre-war and vintage parts for sale. It is a webmagazine for you... and by you.
PreWarCar started as a concept in 1998 when information on pre 1940 cars was ultimately scarce. We went online in 2001 and three years later PostWarClassic was added. In 2003 PreWarCar.com was awarded with the E.P. Ingersoll Award by the Society of Automotive Historians.
