hektor Posted July 24, 2022 Share #18061 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Michael, I think that is about as good as it gets with the crop I posted. With its flag-post I suspect the 220S was a former diplomatic car. Welcome, dear visitor!

hektor Posted July 24, 2022 Share #18065 Posted July 24, 2022 10 hours ago, Michael Hiles said: Very interesting and good-looking car. The second model Mercedes-Benz I rode in as a boy. As Michael said, a "good-looking car". I believe DB consulted Carrosserie Herman Graber for a change from its typische deutsche roots. Underpowered, but that was Germany recovering from devastation. When I lived in Stuttgart and visited the factory, I was told it was the last model designed without incorporating designed obsolescence.

NigelG Posted July 25, 2022 Share #18073 Posted July 25, 2022 Seems similar to the price rises for “regular” muscle cars in the US and UK. I guess guys my age who have made some money now want to buy the cars they couldn’t afford as young men. Not exotica - but certainly the price in the UK of Triumph Stags, TR6s, Ford Capris, Ford Escort RS models etc - the models that were the aspirational “everyday-but-faster/better/cooler” cars - are now entering serious classic territory and have mightily suffered from poor build/tin worm to leave the remaining “cherished” ones at a premium. I would guess this Ford Falcon is squarely in that category…. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your explanation, but as someone with only a remote interest in cars I was very surprised to see a 425,000 Aussie dollar price tag for the car I showed. That's Italian sportscar territory. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted July 29, 2022 Share #18079 Posted July 29, 2022 A Fire Engine? But very small diameter wheels for a vintage truck, is that a map on the bonnet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted July 29, 2022 Share #18080 Posted July 29, 2022 That is why I thought it might be an American Le France. I think it was Roger Lucas who drove that on the Beijing to Paris rally. His comment afterwards was never never ever again in a converted fire engine. He subsequently did it again in an ex-works Safari Mercedes 280SL, that we bought from him and did the Transamerica off road Rally in.
