Rona!d Posted September 22, 2021 Share #16129 Posted September 22, 2021 It is not a one off, it was serial made by a known, established maker although not many may have survived. So this is generally an interesting classic car. And it´s fun to see your heads smoking 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted September 22, 2021 Share #16130 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Is it by any chance British, Ronald? For some reason Singer Nine comes into my head yet although they were produced with both 'suicide' and front-hinged doors I thought they usually didn't have running boards. Another snap / crop might be useful (he said hopefully)........ Philip. Edited September 22, 2021 by pippy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted September 22, 2021 Share #16136 Posted September 22, 2021 Is it possible we're looking at something they called a Mercedes-Benz Sport Roadster - circa 1936-7. When it went into production a couple of years before the war until well after the end of the war I think they were called 230s, but quite rare.

Rona!d Posted September 22, 2021 Share #16137 Posted September 22, 2021 John, you are on a very good trace but not quite there yet (year/exact model/type). This is not what MB officially called the later Sport Roadster which looked a bit different too (and had front hinged doors and a different front fender). I think that my car is sometimes wrongly called with the addition "Sport Roadster" (especially in the Internet and sometimes even in classic car publications) but wasn’t internally called so by MB. To be 100% sure I’d need a look into the MB company archive, maybe I´m wrong here. The 230 was build between 1938 and 1943. This is not a 230 but an early relative. edit: Many sources call it "Sport-Roadster", from the body design it is one but the engine lacks power. The successor looks more elegant and has more power.

Rona!d Posted September 22, 2021 Share #16138 Posted September 22, 2021 I would be willing to share another crop although the first one shows details which leads to the exact model.

Rona!d Posted September 23, 2021 Share #16139 Posted September 23, 2021 This car is quite rare today (assume more 500/540K have survived) and was underestimated for a long time (not only moneywise). The model series was very important for Mercedes although the successor series had a much larger production volume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted September 23, 2021 Share #16140 Posted September 23, 2021 If we name it "Sport Roadster" - which model series (W-...) and 3-digit model number is it? Extra points for a more detailed model number and year of made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
