First of all the make, type and by whom, and then for whom and why was the extension built at the back of the car? Rookie stuff, surely? 1 point and 1 point for 'recent' different information.

Apparently not rookie territory, so up for the experts

Pro's needed...

Some time ago, I would have agreed with you, but recently information has come to light which indicates a different coachbuilder....So that is the one point for you, but ...

Kellner?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:23:46 AM »

Now I found it too: woodinsight is right. It is Alexis Kellner.

bentleybob · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2012, 06:09:20 AM »

Yes one point for Woodinsight. This car has always been listed as Spohn by all books, probably becaue this is the most prolific coachbuilder on Maybach.... This car was not a success though,
and it was replaced fairly quickly by a similar design by Hooper on a Rolls Royce Phantom II.

It was built on a W5 SG chassis.
