A period European funeral coach, this Mercedes-Benz 200D Hearse was built on the W115 “/8” Stroke-8 chassis — the durable four-cylinder diesel platform favored by German undertakers for its economy and longevity. The coach wears black over a black and red interior, and the rear body follows classic German coachbuilding practice: a smooth, unadorned panel with a gentle roof taper and no visible builder’s badge.
Coach builder attribution is unknown, as the car carries no nameplates — common on German funeral coaches, which were often deliberately unmarked for dignified uniformity. The listing offered no mileage, engine specifics beyond the diesel drivetrain, or service history.
