I think this is the wonderful Mercedes-Benz SSK by Erdmann & Rossi, first owner Conte Trossi. RM.33252

Yes Mercedes Benz SSK that belonged to Count Trossi, but the body was made by Willi White a not very well known British coachbuilder.

Yes, Mercedes-Benz SSK made for Carlo Trossi. Body not by Erdmann & Rossi but by Willie White as ropat53 says. So I award the point to ropat53, sorry Luciano...

Thanks for the point, but I feel bad about it, I should have let more time pass before answering and allow mekubb to lock it for Fabrizio, who would have easily found the correct coachbuilder.

There are no proof of whoever built this car. White made only some sketches of a coupé, but the real coachbuilder is unknown.

According to 'Road & Track' 9\92 it was by Saoutchik (!).
