zodiac ◊ 2014-10-15 19:42	This is possibly a 1937-41 Mercedes 230 [W 143], 1937-42 320 [W 142] or 1936-40 260 D [W 138]. Of those is the 230 the most likely (19.324 made), the 320 (5.097 made) or the 260 D (1.967 made) less so. There's rather difficult to divide these models, the difference in jacking point might be one (the 320 had it close to the rear wheel, the others in the middle).

That might exclude the 320. -- Last edit: 2014-10-15 19:46:06
