Rona!d Posted July 28, 2021 Share #15783 Posted July 28, 2021 hektor, my dad has the books for that type. I found two cars in the big double book of Schlegelmilch/Lehbrink which I have never really read. One is a 1928 S and the other an undated SS which looks closer to your car. Do you have further details of yours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have further details of yours? Only its history after arriving in Australia. The first owner was a client and friend of my father which is how I came to photograph the car. It then was sold to a chap in Melbourne who didn't keep it long before on-selling to a Mercedes-Benz dealer, Jack Jeffries, in Sydney. Unfortunately Jeffries modified the windscreen and painted the car white. On his death it passed to a friend of mine during which time I did a few miles in it as both driver and passenger. A pleasant touring car, with heavy steering at less than moderate speeds. Finally it was sold to someone in Europe when prices went silly. As to it's chassis or engine number, unfortunately I never made a note. Edited July 28, 2021 by hektor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 28, 2021 Share #15785 Posted July 28, 2021 hektor, thanks for the most interesting "1930s journey" 😉 I think this one at Bonhams (which I found later) could well be a sister car to yours. Has an interesting story as well but yours has a personal flavor which is unbeatable. The funny thing is, that in this outfit, color and angle of shot your car appeared to be too extravagant to be german made. I completely forgot the W06 series and the many variants they made in that line. On the second view a lot looked MB but something was still disturbing hence I came up with foreign cars. The only pre-war MB I had the opportunity to drive was a 460 Nürburg Tourer about 30 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 28, 2021 Share #15786 Posted July 28, 2021 Wilson, as you were the first who mentioned MB I would suggest you proceed. (If you don´t have a next car, I would jump in with something from the last weekends rallye. In this case you decide if "modern" 1950s-1970s or if VERY vintage) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, right... sorry for the out of rules post; I confess that was intriguied because >50 years ago or so my dad, who always liked the idea to have a "family coupè" instead of a "trivial family sedan" was tempted by this odd car... but disliked the brand... was a Taunus, after all... got a 124 Coupè just to discover soon that me and my older sister were already "too grown" 😎 and after 2 months changed to the usual sedan ... 😒(fiat 125) Edited July 29, 2021 by luigi bertolotti 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was the body makers quality although many survived given the exotic numbers sold. My dad had the same idea of a sports family coupe and preferred a Capri I 2.6ltr. over my grandpa’s available Mercedes W111 250 Cabriolet (oh dear now he regrets that and me too).

Rona!d Posted July 29, 2021 Share #15795 Posted July 29, 2021 Luigi have a look into your photo archive and post a car! Maybe an old one of your dad? Also modern cars are fine. Maybe yours or the one of your wife, neighbour etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
