Rona!d Posted August 18, 2022 Share #18251  Posted August 18, 2022 I would have thought of a Singer Le Mans (Nine Coupe). But to my rescue you will say, I´m on the completely wrong path. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the flare. I didn't have a camera with me and resorted to my wife's "Mickey Mouse Leica" as she described the Japanese camera with a red dot: Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z.

The usual info if you please - make, approx. vintage and model. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted August 20, 2022 Share #18254  Posted August 20, 2022 In some ways it makes me think of my old TD, but this is larger and more expensive. From the UK? Just pre post war? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted August 20, 2022 Share #18255 Â Posted August 20, 2022 Good morning, Stuart....I was beginning to think my new iMac had a virus and wasn't receiving any messages from anyone or anywhere.. Yes, larger, Yes, much more expensive, No, not from the UK, fully pre-war, and I think it's safe to speculate that probably it would be put to different uses than a TD.

Quoting from the Pebble beach Concopurs d'Elegance 'Car Guide' hand book covering all entries, it is one of the estimated 152 of 1800 produced that still exist today, with an 8- liter, V12 motor making 200 HP, bodied by the preferred coach builder for Maybach, Hermann Spohn. First sold to a premium hotel in Switzerland to fetch guests to & from the local railway station. Restored by Mercedes-Benz Classic and currently owned by the M-B museum. SL / 24-90 V.E.

Very similar to Albert Speer's SW38. I have discussed the subject before with DB as their restorations are not always accurate as to originality. For example, the W113 on display at the Museum had chrome surrounds on the wheel arches, an accessory never ever available. As to the hood material, the original prewar material was twill fabric or leather. The next picture will be posted after lunch.

wlaidlaw Posted August 21, 2022 Share #18260  Posted August 21, 2022 Those look like truck tyres on the Maybach. Sadly this sort of thing will become more common as manufacturers continue to reduce the range of tyres they make for older cars, presumably for economic reasons. I don't think anyone now makes well based high profile car tyres for 23 inch or 595mm diameter wheels. Dunlop have stopped making their excellent diamond pattern R3 vintage race tyres in 21 x 7.50 and 7.00, as used by a lot of historic racers. The only tyres I can get for the back of my 1977 Porsche RSR  in the correct size of 275x 45 R15 are Michelin TB15 road legal race tyres, which arrive new with only 6mm of tread and are around £500 each. They only last about 1,000 miles. The slightly larger 285x40 R15 Pirelli Corsa Classic D5 are even more expensive, arrive with less tread and only last about 500 miles. No real road tyres at all. I use slightly undersize Michelin MXW in 255x45 R15 made for the Alpine GTA Turbo. Wilson  2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
