This is the Mercedes-Benz 630K Sports Tourer Harrington 1927 sn35233 Current Car Opened Top in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The Mercedes-Benz 630K Sports Tourer Harrington (1927), chassis no. 35233, is a stunning example of pre-war automotive craftsmanship and performance that set it apart in an era when luxury and speed were rarely found in the same machine. What made this car unique was its supercharged 6.3-liter inline-six engine (“K” for Kompressor), which delivered exceptional power and smooth torque for its time, giving it performance on par with — or ahead of — many contemporary racing cars. Coupled with the elegant Harrington Sports Tourer coachwork, painstakingly crafted by a renowned British coachbuilder, the 630K offered both luxury touring comfort and sporting capability — a rare combination in the late 1920s. Its advanced engineering, refined aesthetics, and elite exclusivity helped cement Mercedes-Benz’s reputation for building vehicles that were not just modes of transportation, but technological and artistic statements in the early years of high-performance motoring.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors.
