"One of the jewels of the forthcoming (RM Auctions) London sale is a luxurious 1938 Horch 853 Special Roadster with coachwork by Erdmann & Rossi (chassis number 854268). Regarded as one of Germany’s preeminent luxury marques, Horch was part of the famed Auto Union group alongside Audi, DKW and Wanderer. With its advanced chassis design and fully independent rear suspension, the Special Roadster competed with the Mercedes-Benz 540K. Formerly stored in a private Latvian collection, the elegant 853 Special Cabriolet on offer at RM’s October event is one of just three surviving examples of its kind, and one of six survivors of all types, making for an exclusive ownership opportunity. (Est. £1,500,000 - £2,000,000)"
