DigitalHeMan Posted September 29, 2014 Share #6861 Posted September 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Simon, Mercedes saloon cars changed so little (understandably) from around 1937 to 1954 and all the smaller models look pretty much the same, I am struggling to date and model this car. By the absence of bonnet louvres, I would guess post war, so as a stab in the dark, lets go for a 1949 170S Cabriolet. Wilson Yep, you're good I'm not sure about the year, but it is the 170S Cabriolet, photographed outside the new Leica campus last Friday. Your turn! The car had been parked for a while as I think there was a Mercedes Owner Club visiting the factory, but I was surprised with the amount of noise the car was making, even though the ignition was off. Lots of clanks and clunks coming from inside the car somewhere..... Welcome, dear visitor!

DigitalHeMan Posted October 1, 2014 Share #6865 Posted October 1, 2014 Try this... Volkswagen Type 2. Was this taken with a Leica? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 1, 2014 Share #6866 Posted October 1, 2014 This is probably a realtively inexpensive Japanese or European car, tarted up to look like it's faster, or actually modified to be faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshack10 Posted October 2, 2014 Share #6877 Posted October 2, 2014 So as not to derail the thread any longer I shall reveal all and let someone else have a turn. Just a little light-hearted tangent on my part. Forgive me:D It's a... Little Tikes Kids car Only full-size, road legal, able to do 70mph and based on a Daihatsu (IIRC). Apparently built by a new/small company trying to build promotional vehicles. This seems to have done the trick for them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgzOp8khf0g Welcome, dear visitor!
