Chassis 35861 is a 1929 Mercedes-Benz 630 K Tourenwagen bodied by the Sindelfingen works, fitted from new with the supercharged six-cylinder K-specification engine as documented by its original order sheet. Remarkable for having remained within a single Spanish family from new delivery, it retains largely original bodywork, black leather interior, and green-and-black livery. The car participated in various European touring events over the decades and survives in well-patinated, unrestored condition.
