It has a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament in the second thumbnail. |

I`d say Dsl is right. Some Kompressor Benz, probably indeed a 540 K aka W29. |

Also seen here - /vehicle_467150-Mercedes-Benz-540-K-Spezial-Roadster-W29-1936.html No trace found for one with DXP 279. Seems only 26 540K Special Roadsters were built. plus some 500 K. This is apparently the the high-door, long-tail version with exposed spare wheels and tyres built into the rear deck, and with RHD must be a known car somewhere, even as a non-survivor. Does not seem to be Chassis #154086, sold by Mercedes-Benz UK in 1937 to Sir John Chubb (famous locks family), which was later converted to LHD, became part of the Bernie Ecclestone Collection in 1995, and sold for £3.9 million in Aug 2007 - its original UK registration was DYX 911 - http://www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.cfm?lot_id=192371 , /vehicle_153913-Mercedes-Benz-540-K-Spezial-Roadster-W29-1937.html . It's also not the famous discovery of a derelict in a butcher's lock-up garage in Walsall in 1988, which was a 1936 500K, registered CXT 20 - http://www.peachparts.com/500k1936.htm . Best list of these 500K/540K Spezial Roadsters I can find is this account. I would not exclude 500 K for this one, but on the pictures I've seen 500K tended to have no pipework on bonnet sides. |
