Fate of Hitler's fleet in Berlin at end of the war?

One of Herman Goering's Mercedes cabrios (1940 model) from the Air Ministry on Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin is up for sale at www.mirbach.de If the provenance could be proven, it would be an interesting piece of history.

There were several Mercedes of Hitler's in the Reichskanzlei garage (der Fuhrer-Garage") at Hermann Goringstrasse 16, at the fall of Berlin. Presumably some of them were 770K saloons. It was reported that for about a week some of them were seen being driven on the streets off Berlin by Russian officers, in the first week of May 1945, and then the cars were never seen again. Presumably taken back to Russia as beute (war booty) but none of them have surfaced since then, that I am aware of.
