Advertisement Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Hi luigi bertolotti, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
NigelG Posted September 23, 2021 Share #16142 Posted September 23, 2021 The 170V that Bonhams had for sale had no exposed door hinges though the door shape looks right, the usual profiled not almost flat radiator, and the usual Mercedes chrome rub bars to the running boards not the rubber covering here...so I think its earlier (c. 1935?)

wlaidlaw Posted September 23, 2021 Share #16143 Posted September 23, 2021 The running boards look much wider than the 170V cars I have seen and as Nigel says, normally metal with chrome accented rubber strips not the much more British looking rubber matting. Must be a special version. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Rona!d, I am not hiding; have tried to identify the car. If it is a Mercedes-Benz the door and running boards bear little or no resemblance to any pre-war wagen I know. I'll keep looking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hektor Posted September 24, 2021 Share #16155 Posted September 24, 2021 Dear Rona!d, I take exception to you editing the photogrph. Adolf Hitler was reality and I have more reason than most to take exception to him. A number of my relations were imprisoned by him, some killed. Nevertheless he was a reality we should deal with, not airbrush him out of history as an inconvenient embarrasment. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted September 24, 2021 Share #16158 Posted September 24, 2021 We have to pause this as I have to call the collector. hektor found the car on an auction page and the description names it differently to what is my info from the rallye which was organized by the owner of the car. Comparing my car to others of the model info I know it´s not what the auction description says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted September 24, 2021 Share #16159 Posted September 24, 2021 My info is that this is a W15 (170/6). Which was the 6-cyl. ancestor of the later 4-cyl. W136 (170V). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted September 24, 2021 Share #16160 Posted September 24, 2021 Here is the W21 hektor found and I have no doubts it is "my" car but am confused about it being named W21 200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
