It's a Mercedes*, that should make it easy for someone..... I've searched for this one before, on another 'mystery car' thread on another forum..... and I tried again last night, but still I can't find it.... :(


*Not sure if it's factory-built, or merely uses Mercedes mechanicals though

Dass es im Museum von Mercedes-Benz spezielle Fahrzeuge zu sehen ist – ist bekannt – eine sehr seltene Designstudie zeigt das Museum nun – jedoch im Museumsparkhaus auf Ebene 0: Die C 111-Designstudie.
Diese frühere Designstudie eines Mercedes-Benz C 111 stammt von dem berühmten Chefdesigner Bruno Sacco – er arbeitete von 1958 bis 1999 als Konstrukteur und Designer/Stillist) unter der Leitung von Karl Wilfert, Friedrich Geiger und glaub Béla Barényi an verschiedenen Projekten mit, zb. am Mercedes-Benz 600 sowie den als “Pagode” bekannten Roadster 230 SL, 250 SL sowie 280 SL der Baureihe W 113.

See special vehicles being in the Museum of Mercedes-Benz - is--a rare design study shows the Museum now - but in the Museum car park on level 0: the C 111 design study.
(This earlier design study of a Mercedes-Benz C 111 comes from the famous designer Bruno Sacco - he worked from 1958 to 1999 as designer and designer style list) led by Karl Wilfert, Friedrich Geiger and belief on different projects with Béla Barényi eg. the Mercedes-Benz 600 and as "Pagoda" known Roadster 230 SL, SL 250 and 280 SL W 113 series

Some minor flaws: the ugly rims and the huge Mercedes star! I reckon to make the front more distinctive resp. MB-ish, they took one of XL-size.

Actually that's one of the main reasons why the C-111 models made it never to production. The uncharacteristic (for MB) design and the unreliable Wankel technology.

If you take a closer look you should see that I already made the star smaller. As it's no mystery anymore I leave it like that. ;)

If it's an early study for the C111, shouldn't it be called C101 -early code for the project?

If it is a 1967 study, perhaps it is not related to C101 at all.
