Yes 770 is correct.  My source said "Type 770 cabriolet D" but I don't know the significance of the 'D'
Now for the coachbuilder.

Thanks!  I've never heard that before.  Was it a Mercedes classification or more general?
I'm trying to work out what a Cabriolet E would have been.

As a bonus (sorry, no extra point) can you name the owner?
