    Maybach SW38 Special Roadster, 1937

    Chassis No.: 1834 Engine No.: 11294 €517,500 EUR | Sold • An exceptionally well-restored example, superbly proportioned and detailed • Meticulously recreated coachwork inspired by period Spohn designs • Original 3.8-litre engine and five-speed transmission • One of few open Maybachs available • A grand German Classic Maybach is known today as Mercedes-Benz's most up-market offering, which shows the immense respect that the legendary manufacturer from Stuttgart has for its long-defunct rival. The name once belonged to a marque all its own: the creation of brilliant engineer Wilhelm Maybach, whose engines powered Germany's revolutionary Zeppelin airships. Maybach automobiles were, in the 1920s and 1930s, considered Germany's finest, being built to a superior level of fit, finish, and engineering quality than their rivals. This extended to the company's SW38, one of its smaller models, which was powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine and was the final Maybach introduced prior to World War II. Each was capable of 100mph, a performance benchmark for the era, with great flexibility provided by one of the company's innovative five-speed gearboxes. Coachwork was most often supplied by the great German coachbuilders such as Spohn and Gläser, both firms with which Maybach enjoyed long and successful relationships. Like other great German cars of this era, the SW38 enjoyed commercial success, selling 620 chassis, but suffered from a high rate of attrition during World War II. It is believed that fewer than 150 remain in existence worldwide, many with heavy limousine bodies that were frequently specified by the firm's conservative clientele. The SW38 offered here was acquired in Hungary years ago by a well-known German specialist. It was found complete, including its original 3.8-litre engine, but the original Pullman Limousine coachwork was in disrepair. It was decided that the chassis would be restored by Eastern European specialists with professionally crafted bodywork of a new design, based upon period styling drawings by the respected Karrosserie Spohn of Ravensburg and constructed using traditional methods. While SW38 Special Roadsters were produced in period, few have this car's sense of balance and powerful proportions, created by subtle improvements to the original designs. The body features a low 'V' windscreen and beautiful pontoon-style wings sweeping elegantly in a broad curve over the wheels, while the belt-line flows harmoniously from the bonnet through the doors and down over the rear deck. The deck itself is nearly flush apart from the low-mounted spare with its metal cover, reminiscent of similarly attractive designs on the Mercedes-Benz 540 K. However, the Spohn Special Roadster is even more flamboyant by virtue of its broad sweep of chrome trim along the doors, reminiscent of a trailing comet, complemented on this car by plated hubcaps and an up-swung chrome running board. The convertible hood is relatively low-slung to the body, even when raised, a feature strikingly different from many German cabriolets of this period. Most importantly the overall presentation remains crisp and as sensational today back as it was in 1937, and complete down to the fitted luggage. Most importantly, thanks to the Maybach DS G 35 five-speed manual transmission, this is still a wonderful highway performer, able to challenge many of its more famous rivals on the Alpine passes. All Maybachs were grand and imposing, but few were truly beautiful and fewer still were downright sporting. Possessing both dash and grace, this is one of the latter: an impressive tribute to German craftsmanship and engineering from one of the greatest makes of its generation. The car is offered with a copy of an old German Fahrzeugbrief. Please note this motor car is subject to the reduced local import tax should it remains in the EU. Bonhams is the guarantor of the customs duties and taxes clearance: consequently, this motor car cannot be released to the buyer or his transporter immediately after the sale. Maybach SW38 Spezial Roadster 1937 Carrosserie dans le style de Spohn Châssis n° 1834 Moteur n° 11294 • Un exemplaire exceptionnellement restaurée, superbement proportionné et soigné • Carrosserie méticuleusement recrée, inspirée de dessins d'époque de Spohn • Moteur et transmission cinq rapports d'origine • Un des rares cabriolets Maybach en vente • Une grande classique allemande Maybach est aujourd'hui connu comme étant le modèle haut de gamme de Mercedes-Benz, ce qui montre l'immense respect que ce légendaire constructeur de Stuttgart conserve pour son concurrent depuis longtemps inactif. Le nom était autrefois une marque en propre, création du brillant ingénieur, Wilhelm Maybach, dont les moteurs animaient les révolutionnaires Zeppelin allemands. Les automobiles Maybach étaient considérées, dans les années 1920 et 1930, comme les plus raffinées, d'une qualité de construction supérieure dans leur assemblage, leur finition et leur mécanique à celle leurs rivales allemandes. Cela s'appliquait également à son plus petit modèle, la SW38 animée par un six cylindres 3,8 litres à arbre à cames en tête, la dernière Maybach présentée avant la deuxième guerre mondiale. Elle atteignait 160 km/h, une performance remarquable pour l'époque, avec une grande souplesse que lui procurait l'innovante boîte à cinq rapports de la marque. La plupart du temps, la carrosserie était l'œuvre de grands carrossiers allemands comme Spohn et Gläser, deux sociétés avec lesquelles Maybach partagea une longue et riche collaboration. Comme les autres grandes classique allemandes de l'époque, la SW38 connut un grand succès commercial, 620 châssis en étant vendus, mais souffrit d'un énorme taux de destruction pendant la seconde guerre. On estime qu'il en reste moins de 150 en existence dans le monde, la plupart dotées de lourdes carrosseries limousines qui étaient le plus souvent commandées par la très conservatrice clientèle de la marque. La SW38 proposée ici a été achetée en Hongrie, il y a des années par un spécialiste allemand bien connu. Elle a été découverte complète avec son moteur 3,8 litres d'origine, mais sa carrosserie originale de Limousine Pullman était en très mauvais état. On décida que le châssis serait restauré professionnellement par un spécialiste d'Europe de l'est avec une carrosserie d'un nouveau style, reprenant un dessin de l'époque de la très respectée Karrosserie Spohn de Ravensburg et construite selon les méthodes traditionnelles. Bien que des SW38 Spezial Roadsters aient été construits à l'époque, peu arborent ce sens de l'équilibre et cette puissance de proportions que créent les subtiles améliorations apportées au dessin original. On trouve un pare-brise en V très bas, de magnifiques ailes à l'élégante courbure au-dessus des roues, tandis que la ceinture de caisse courre harmonieusement du capot, en passant par les portes, jusqu'au coffre arrière. Le coffre presque affleurant, en dehors du léger décrochement du couvercle du compartiment de roue de secours, rappelle de séduisants dessins similaires sur des Mercedes-Benz 540 K. Toujours est-il que le Spezial Roadster de Spohn est encore plus flamboyant, grâce au large filet chromé ornant les portières symbolisant la queue d'une comète, associés sur cette voiture à des enjoliveurs et des marchepied chromés. La capote du cabriolet est relativement basse, même lorsqu'elle est érigée, contrairement à de nombreux cabriolets allemands de l'époque. Plus important, la présentation générale reste aussi percutante et sensationnelle aujourd'hui qu'en 1937, jusqu'aux bagages qui l'accompagnent. Tout aussi remarquable, grâce à la transmission manuelle à cinq rapports Maybach DS G 35, c'est toujours une voiture très performante, capable de rivaliser avec ses plus fameuses concurrentes de l'époque dans les cols alpins. Toutes les Maybach étaient grandes et imposantes, mais peu étaient vraiment belles et encore moins étaient véritablement sportives. Possédant à la fois l'élan et la grâce, il s'agit là de l'une des dernières. Un impressionnant hommage à l'artisanat et à l'ingénierie de l'une des plus grandes marques de sa génération. La voiture est vendue avec une copie d'un ancien Fahrzeugbrief allemand. Veuillez noter que si cette voiture reste dans la Communauté Européenne elle sera soumise à une taxe d'importation au taux réduit de la TVA à l'importation locale. Bonhams restant le garant des droits et taxes douanières, cette voiture ne pourra donc pas être récupérée par l'acheteur ou son transporteur immédiatement après la vente. https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/26005/lot/258/1937-maybach-sw38-special-roadster-chassis-no-1834-engine-no-11294/

    Maybach SW38 Roadster by Spohn, 1938

    Chassis No.: 2055 Engine No.: 11164 Body No.: 2278 Location: Monterey, California $1,072,500 USD | Sold • One of the most prestigious Classic Era German automobiles • Maybach’s short-wheelbase competitor to the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial Roadster • Largely known history; formerly owned by M.L. “Bud” Cohn and Lenora Pope Lytel • Authentic and sporting Spohn disappearing top coachwork Addendum Please note that Internet bidding is not available for this lot. Interested parties that are unable to attend the sale may register to bid by telephone or place a commission bid online at rmsothebys.com. 140 bhp, 3,790 cc SOHC inline six-cylinder engine with two Solex MMO VS 35 carburetors, four-speed DSG manual transmission, independent front suspension with double wishbones, coil springs, and transverse leaf spring; rear swing axle with coil springs and transverse leaf springs; and four-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 133 in. THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS GERMAN CAR OF ITS ERA It is easy to forget today, but in the 1930s, the Maybach automobile was held as more prestigious in its home country than any other car. Wilhelm Maybach had been a pioneer of the industry, helping Gottlieb Daimler develop his first car, and after inventing the honeycomb radiator, turned his attentions to aircraft manufacture. After building the powerplants for the great German Zeppelins, he turned his attention to automobiles by 1919, building incredibly expensive and exclusive automobiles with peerless engineering and build quality. One of the most popular Maybach automobiles was the SW38, a six-cylinder model capable of achieving speeds upwards of 100 mph. An object to be admired, the SW38 sported a high quality of fit and finish in the engine bay due to Maybach’s involvement in aero engine manufacture. The interiors of the finely coachbuilt bodies which adorned these chassis featured simple, elegant wood trim, and elegantly placed switchgear and instruments in the dashboard. Equipped with a 3,790-cubic centimeter inline six-cylinder motor, the horsepower output of 140 was impressive compared to the 120 horsepower produced by the contemporaneous 5-liter, eight-cylinder Horch 853A and the 115 horsepower produced by the 5.4-liter, eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz without the blower engaged. The Maybach powerplant was mated to a DSG manual transmission with four speeds controlled from a preselector in the center of the steering wheel, with a floor-mounted shifter for selection of low, high, and reverse gears; this arrangement allows for a total of eight forward speeds and four in reverse. The resulting elegant combination of form and function was an automobile of wonderful quality and high style, deserving of its vast cost and regal attitude. THE SPOHN ROADSTER Typical of German luxury cars of this era, the Maybach had quality engineering and size, but the coachwork, the majority of which was produced by Spohn Karrosserie, was rarely truly sporting. One exception for the Ravensburg coachbuilder was its handsome roadster, built on the shorter of the two available SW38 chassis, and which was Maybach’s equivalent to the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial-Roadster of the same period. A large two-passenger automobile with balanced proportions front to rear, it featured long front fenders with integrated running boards, flowing gracefully back into the rear fenders. Its lines are further lightened by a “comet-tail” chrome spear on the body sides, a rear-mounted spare, and gentle scalloping in the rear section of the body, which eased the transition downward to the fenders. Unlike most German convertibles, which featured cabriolet tops that formed a high “stack” when folded, the Spohn Roadster concealed the top below a metal clamshell-style tonneau, further smoothing the lines of the coachwork. MRS. LYTEL’S ROADSTER According to Michael Graff Wolff Metternich’s Maybach Register, SW38 chassis number 2055 was originally delivered to Erich Tghart, a well-known art collector and General Director of Hoechst A.G., a heavy equipment manufacturing firm in Dortmund, Germany. The Register further notes that the car was ordered as a short-chassis four-door, 4/5 passenger convertible. Given the known provenance of this car, it is likely that Tghart changed his order after it was initially recorded, or as Metternich acknowledges in the Register, it is possible that a new body was fitted when the car was a year or two old. Most importantly, a photograph on file from the early 1960s shows chassis 2055 in unrestored condition with a black body, grey fenders, and a grey top. This photograph, as well as the presence of the body number 2278 stamped on the original wooden door sills and floorboards, verifies the authenticity of this roadster. The file accompanying the car extends back to 1951 and includes numerous invoices from repair work carried out by the private firm of renowned Maybach factory motor specialist and racer Anton Zwick. Zwick’s repairs were carried out for 2055’s next known owner, the Director of the Sohler Maschinenfabrik in Wangen, Germany. Interestingly, the invoices record the current motor, number 11164, as being in the car, which is a replacement of the original unit, and which must have been installed prior to the 1951 repairs. The invoices detail the refurbishment, which included mechanical repairs, and supporting invoices for subcontract work indicate the sourcing of some parts directly from the Maybach factory. By 1961 the car was in the ownership of Colin “Dick” Spaight of Platterville, Wisconsin; the aforementioned photograph was taken near the Spaight farm around 1961 or 1962. Mr. Spaight’s brother, now 91, believes that the car was acquired from a United States Army officer stationed in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and that it was that officer who imported it to the United States. The roadster was sold by Spaight in 1963 to M.L. “Bud” Cohn, the distinguished California collector still remembered for his founding of the Le Cercle Concours d’Elegance and for his stable of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Within a year, Mr. Cohn sold the Maybach roadster to Lenora Pope Lytel of Chula Vista, California. A granddaughter of bicycle and early automobile magnate Colonel Albert Pope, Mrs. Lytel must certainly have been an interesting person to know; she was active in antique automobile circles and had once driven a 1913 Stevens-Duryea from coast to coast. She had Cohn repaint the SW38 a dark blue with a cream or white top, and perform mechanical and cosmetic work, prior to delivery. Thereafter, as she wrote to the American Maybach registrar, she “drove it about 15,000 miles, always alone, up and down the coast.” She displayed it at the 1965 CCCA Far West Grand Classic and at the Santa Barbara Grand Classic in 1966, as well as in the AACA San Diego Region’s annual Antique Ramble in the latter year. At age 72, Mrs. Lytel finally abandoned her days of solo road-tripping via Maybach and sold the grand automobile to 25-year-old Don Williams in 1970, complete with the blocks she had installed on the pedals to allow her feet to reach! Williams kept the car for several years before selling it to Phil Malouf of Albuquerque, New Mexico, who maintained it several years before selling it back to Williams. The car was then restored by the late Mike Fennel in its current black with oxblood red interior, and joined the stable of noted Michigan enthusiasts, Richard and Linda Kughn, who proudly displayed it in their well-known Carail museum. In 1988, the Kughns traded it to the Imperial Palace of Las Vegas, Nevada. There it remained on display for over a decade, before the current owner acquired it in 1999, to become part of his small, select collection. Of 520 Maybach SW38 chassis built between 1936 and 1939, approximately 152 remain; the vast majority of these are Pullman limousines or four-door convertible sedans, with a literal handful being authentic cabriolets and roadsters such as the example offered here. With its history well-documented and authenticity confirmed, this SW38 stands ready to take its deserved place among the Pantheon of great German sporting cars of the Classic Era. https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo16/lots/r123-1938-maybach-sw38-roadster-by-spohn/
