A great car.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, its coachbuilder and the year it was built.

Yes, a Mercedes-Benz Typ S with a body by Henri Labourdette. Tell me the year and the point is yours. Locked.

Well the book says it is a 1929 body. So it was either the second body on this chassis, or is that incorrect (as it often is the case, datewise in this book) as the chassis is more likely to be 1926 - 1928, when the 710 SS came as a replacement?

Well, I have 1929, too. As you can see it's on the Labourdette picture also. Perhaps it took Labourdette til 1929 to complete the body?

Anyway, the point is yours.
