John Z. Goriup Posted February 2, 2017 Share #9322 Â Posted February 2, 2017 That grill doesn't quite look like a Mercedes..............I don't think it's a Horch, since their grilles were slanted slightly, soare we looking at a Maybach ?

christoph_d Posted February 3, 2017 Share #9324  Posted February 3, 2017 To help you on the way, what you know so far:  It is a Mercedes Benz, It is NOT a 500K or 380 or 540 or A770 (but at least one of those looks probably indistinguishable (to my layman's eyes)  Here's another view:  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted February 3, 2017 Share #9325  Posted February 3, 2017 It looks very like an SSK710 from the side but the brakes are too small (the SS brake drums fill the wheel on the SS). I think therefore it might be a 400K from around 1928/29. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted February 3, 2017 Share #9326  Posted February 3, 2017 Wilson,  Not correct but close. MB started to build this car in 1929.  Rgds  Christoph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted February 3, 2017 Share #9327  Posted February 3, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Christoph,  Could it be that miserable device the 10/50 Mercedes? A car which gave the 4 cylinder version of the Bugatti 40 ("The Molsheim Morris Cowley) serious competition for the worst car from a top manufacturer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted February 3, 2017 Share #9329 Â Posted February 3, 2017 The 10/50 is also known as the 260W (11). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted February 4, 2017 Share #9330  Posted February 4, 2017 Wilson,  The closest guess so far was the 380. I presume the main difference is under the bonnet, and the amount of doors, that should indicate the letter following the number.  Rgds  C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted February 4, 2017 Share #9331 Â Posted February 4, 2017 OK- I think therefore it is a 380K Special Roadster (thanks Google).

christoph_d Posted February 5, 2017 Share #9332  Posted February 5, 2017 Michael  You are very close again, but unfortunately your number is too high and your letter too low. A last hint: Mannheim.  Rgds  C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoph_d Posted February 5, 2017 Share #9334  Posted February 5, 2017 A.j.z  Correct. The car in question was recently exhibited at the Mercedes Showroom in München, Odeonsplatz.  It's your turn to show the next mystery car now.  Rgds  Christoph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 8, 2017 Share #9339 Â Posted February 8, 2017 The emblem in front of the hidden car name has been used by Corvette for decades, suggesting that this car uses a Corvette engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted February 8, 2017 Share #9340  Posted February 8, 2017 I think the pit lane is Spa - does that count  ? Is the orange car an Fissore bodied Elva GT160? Could the green car be a Ginetta G12?  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
