Mercedes-Benz SSKL from  Manfred von Brauchitsch, he won a race in 1932 with this car (Avus-rennen).
It was the first silver arrow... It was designed by Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld and was called "the Cucumber'.

Correct, though I've never heard about "the Cucumber". Good to know. :)

I came too late  :D

At least I can add that the body was built at Karosserie Vetter in Stuttgart. The car was raced with this body on the Avus race track in Berlin, May 22, 1932, at the "Internationales AVUS-Rennen".

And there are no doubts that this one was silver - unlike the W25 at the 1934 Eifel-Rennen!
