Mercedes-Benz post-war production was based on the 170 V as it was the only model for which tooling had survived the war. So, inevitably they produced many variations of the 170 standard four-door saloon including vans, pick-ups and special cars. One of these special versions was the DA OTP Police special. More basic than the other 170 Cabriolets of this era, this version was only sold to official police forces and most examples were painted in Polizei grün or "Police green". It was also the first 170 featuring the outside boot lid, something that was very practical and that was soon adapted to the civilian market.
This particular OTP Polizei spezial was registered for the first time in Germany on 11 September 1951under the number VIE-JR6. It has been restored as a civilian 4-door convertible and finished in red with black wings with black vinyl upholstery. The paint is in nice condition and shows only few blemishes and the chrome is generally in good condition. The OTPs were all fitted with the Diesel version of the 170 engine and has a mechanical fuel injection and a 4-speed gearbox. The engine compartment and undercarriage are both nice and clean. An aerial is fitted but at some point in time the radio has been removed. This model which can be considered as the Cabriolet D 170 that Mercedes never produced is a rather rare car as only 530 Police cars were built, a must-have for any Mercedes-Benz collector.
