Rather unusual two-tone paint.

For one point, please respond and identify base car and coachbuilder.

Not a W116, not by Pollmann, but a Mercedes-Benz

Rappold is correct, but it is not a W123. Have a closer look. Locked for you.

W114/W115 with W116 front? The windscreen wipers do not match the W123 at all :doh: :doh:

It will probably not be a W 115 with OM 615, but if it has to be a W 116 front, then it should be a W 114 with M 110 and 160 to 185 hp.

If you're going to go all out: W114, 280 E, M110 E28 engine, with petrol injection and 185 hp.

You didn't need such a powerful engine for the last journey.  ;)

You don't know my standards... The last drive must be a lap of the Nordschleife, including a test of the load securing. But I'll settle for an M110 V28 and 160 hp. Its carburettor (Solex 4A1) is a punishment for any mechanic.

Is it a "Heizöl-Ferrari" ("fuel oil Ferrari") with OM 615?

No, the W114 were all gasoline-engined.

I thought that the range also included the W 115.
Well, let's just settle for one camshaft: Mercedes 230 or 230.6 with M180, 2.3 litres, 120 hp.

Yes, it is a Mercedes-Benz 230.6 hearse by Rappold. There were several hearses that were modified to look like more expensive cars back then.

Thank you for the point and the varied search. Btw: the last car will be an estate. Preferably a Jaguar e-type, see "Harold and Maude".
