Auction with Bernd Eichinger's Car: "It Was Edgy and Chic to Drive a Mercedes"

Germany's most successful film producer, Bernd Eichinger, drove a Mercedes 300 SEL through LA for years, which his wife Katja is now auctioning off. What the car reveals about the filmmaker and why the car still holds such an important place for many.

Since 1972 Willi Köhler from Bruchsal has been driving the same Mercedes – with original BR registration mark. The classic car has already covered almost 900,000 kilometres.
