Michael Hiles Posted December 7, 2016 Share #9201 Â Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Evidently a Mercedes Benz. From the shape and the steering wheel, I would guess a 230S. Late in the chassis run. Edited December 7, 2016 by Michael Hiles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Hi Michael Hiles, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dkCambridgeshire Posted December 7, 2016 Share #9202  Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Perhaps we should await confirmation of the identify the 3 wheeler first? But the Mercedes is likely an Adenauer 300.  dunk Edited December 7, 2016 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted December 7, 2016 Share #9203  Posted December 7, 2016 Quite sure it's not an Adenauer........Adenauers were much more formal and had chrome window surrounds. The black example is later and much more modern than that.  I think we're looking at a Mercedes-Benz W 111 sedan, most likely early to mid-'60s, since the series, including the 220s, which I think is what is shown here, was produced from about  the late '50s through the late sixties. All that happened during the time M-B had merged with the moribound Studebaker brand for the sake of getting a foothold in the U.S. through an existing US dealer system.  JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted December 8, 2016 Share #9204  Posted December 8, 2016 Unquestionably a W111. The steering wheel indicates a late version. The speedometer also says sedan (not coupe or Cab). The last sedan W111 was the 230S. But might be a 220S or 220 SE. I learned to drive on a W111. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 27, 2016 Share #9217  Posted December 27, 2016 Dunk,  Very interesting. We were the first foreign registered cars to go over some of the mountain passes, since the second world war. Many of the cars had problems due to inadequate preparation and from the vibrations of the unmade parts of the roads. Some cars were just plain unsuitable like a 1930 huge long wheelbase Rolls Royce Phantom II Sedanca de Ville. A lot of the cars also had problems with dirty fuel. Our extremely well prepared Merc 280SL, which has been doing rough road rallies for over 20 years, and has things like a 40 ton truck fuel filter, air assist springs, raised suspension and everything either wired or cable tied firmly together, had no problems at all. At a couple of the hotels, we were the first guests, as this part of Myanmar is just being opened up to tourism. We ended up being received by the Minister of Tourism at the national parliament in Nay Pya Daw, which has a totally deserted 20 lane motorway leading to and from it. Below pic of the hill monastery at Popa and the 20 lane approach to the parliament buildings.  Well worth doing.  Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

dkCambridgeshire Posted December 27, 2016 Share #9218  Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks Wilson and pleased to hear you completed the rally successfully. The monastery is very interesting; will investigate.  dunk Edited December 27, 2016 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember a 3 wheeler VERY similar to this (not sure was the same... color was different, anyway) : I remember only that it was equipped with the BMW K series 4/cyl. engines... the brand sounded aliene to me so didn't keep it in my mind...
