I was privileged to see one of the Convertibles in Germany in 2005. They are magnificent. Regards Styria

Quite an interesting video giving details of one found in Leipzig, in the old East German. Regards Styria

No words needed really. Comparing the '30s Horch with the various Mercedes Cabriolets of the same period, I found that the In-Laid Pearl dash of the Mercedes was a step above the Horch. Regards Styria

When I travelled to Europe in 2005 and 2008, I was fortunate in stumbling across C. F. Mirbach, a prestige and Classic Cars dealership located in Bavaria between Munich and Salzburg. It was an unforgettable experience, and that is where I laid eyes on my only Horch I had ever seen, and since, in the flesh. To say I was blown away would be an understatement. It was also the room itself that housed various cars, including the Horch. There were no ornaments, no furnishings other than a desk (but no chairs), with a solitary 540K model on the desk, and not a soul to be seen anywhere. ........just all those cars !Mike No. 1 383.jpgMike No. 1 384.jpgMike No. 1 386.jpgMike No. 1 388.jpg

Perhaps you can see what I mean by referring to the dash when compared with the Pearl Inlaid offerings by some of the Mercedes models of that era. Nevertheless, the Horch Dash in this most unusual timber pattern also constitutes a work of art, as some of the other Chrome fittings that are evident. Regards Styria
