hektor Posted December 19, 2020 Share #14162  Posted December 19, 2020 Good morning Pippy. Not of French manufacture, but it is European. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted December 20, 2020 Share #14163 Â Posted December 20, 2020 Not my era, I would have guessed belgium, maybe Imperia or Miverva but it seems to be a Mercedes 35hp Roi des Belges Tourer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted December 20, 2020 Share #14164  Posted December 20, 2020 Ronald, here is another clue, for which the car was renowned. Furthermore it had a 5.3 litre motor.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted December 20, 2020 Share #14165  Posted December 20, 2020 Thanks Hektor, I already mentioned the car when I edited my posting prior to your posting. And yes, possibly the oldest surviving shaft driven Mercedes. Interesting path led me to it. I had "Belgium" in mind right from the start (hence my Imperia/Minerva guess) but it was the body style "Roi des Belges" which has a belgium flavor.

wlaidlaw Posted December 20, 2020 Share #14168  Posted December 20, 2020 I was thinking of a a 35HP Simplex, which I think was basically the same car as the Mercedes. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot say, which coachbuilder. I now do not have access to the photos showing the full car. I first saw the 3500 on an event for classic cars and the found the car on the website of a dealer quite some time ago (although is a very nice car it apparently is not easy to sell - which may also be due to the price tag - as it is still there: https://carcollection.at/fahrzeugdetails/?id=106).

NigelG Posted December 21, 2020 Share #14178  Posted December 21, 2020 There’s a rather lovely one for sale with Joe Macari which would avoid all the travel restrictions - you could get it home and wrapped in time for the 24th....😄  3 hours ago, a.j.z said: Perfect, yes a 3500 GTI Convertible from 1963.

Andreas, If you compare the price to a Ferrari 250GT California Spider Mk 11, the price looks eminently reasonable. €725, 000, which I am sure in the current climate would be negotiable to around €600,000 to €650,000, is about a tenth of what you would have to pay for a nice Cal Spider. Maybe the Cal Spider is a tad prettier but unless heavily breathed on by the likes of Mototechnique of West Molesey in south London, they are not that great to drive, feeling rather wooden with a lot of scuttle shake. Is it my turn? Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´d wrap the shiny trunk leather in an old horse rug though, don´t wear such dark sunglasses when on vacation and getting the lugguage out of the trunk would be dangerous for my eyes or the hotel boy might become blind 😉 Oh, I´m dreaming of travelling, stupid me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
