It is supposed to look like a Mercedes-Benz S/SS/SSK. But I guess that it isn't one, isn't it?

nicanary · « **Reply #10 on:** December 30, 2015, 03:11:46 PM »

It looks about the size of an Aston Martin International. The number of exhaust pipes suggest a 4-cylinder engine.

Is it British?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** December 30, 2015, 03:12:28 PM »

Wendax:

It is not even a Mercedes-Benz as they merged a few years after this chassis has been built.

So it is no S/SS or SSK.

But you´re on to something...

nicanary:

the bodywork is British.

Mercedes chassis ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2015, 04:19:18 PM »

Yes - it is based upon a Mercedes race car...

oko94 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2015, 04:34:53 PM »

Based on a 1923 Mercedes 2-Liter Rennwagen ?

nicanary · « **Reply #15 on:** December 30, 2015, 04:41:41 PM »

Mercedes 10/40/65 ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** December 30, 2015, 04:53:37 PM »

No and no - it´s a big engine of a powerful racecar from before 1923...

oko94 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 30, 2015, 04:56:08 PM »

1921 Mercedes 28/95 ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** December 30, 2015, 05:02:53 PM »

LOCKED for you.

It is indeed based upon a 1922 28/95 Targa Florio race car model.

The puzzle car should be one of those five:

Can't find anything about a Targa Florio Mercedes converted to road use.

Wild guess : coachbuilt by Bertelli ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #20 on:** January 01, 2016, 01:17:58 PM »

Not Bertelli.

Two more guesses.

oko94 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 01, 2016, 02:09:31 PM »

Abbott ?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #22 on:** January 01, 2016, 02:18:10 PM »

Abbott
Bertelli

oko94 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2016, 03:34:01 PM »

Corsica ?

Bertelli
