That and the dealer insiting that I pay him £95 to valet it. I do need something for winter though so everyone keep your eyes open for £700ish nails with decent test on.

barrett Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The Hanomag 1.3 was a very attractive streamlined small car with unitary construction which allegedly inspired the Volvo PV series.

barrett Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 'Koch Klassic' Yeah that car is literally called an 'Autobahn' innit! It's quite a bit bigger than the Hanomag and probably much better. I'd like one of each, please (not that one, I hate the new interior) plus a Steyr Type 50 for the perfect streamlined mitteleuropean 1930s three-car garage.

cort16 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 There seemed to be about 17 different variants of the Mazda 323 in 5 years in the 1990' but they nailed the design with this one. This has the 2.0 v6, which according to the rev counter goes to 7000 rpm red line.Cool! The sills would want some zooming in on though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234310738147?hash=item368e0220e3:g:lwoAAOSw9Dthfvvf Dabooka, SteersWithThrottle, Dick Longbridge and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This evoked memories of a story I read a long time ago. About someone here in Norway who owned a rear engine Mercedes from new and it was not seized during the war as these were not so popular. And he was in the resistance movement so as soon as the war was over he was commandeered since he had a car to drive to war-torn parts of Finland and pick up important and secret documents and get home as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, I do not remember much more from the other that I think the car is still alive. Inspiral_Mondays and MisterH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I do not remember much more from the other that I think the car is still alive. That's quite interesting, the wikipedia article explains why they usually weren't seized by the German army: Quote Because these cars, unlike front-engined sister models, were not widely used, and also not suitable for conversion to wood gas generator, they were not confiscated by the Wehrmacht. Therefore, an above-average number of models survived in private hands without damage due to the war, but most were used to exhaustion in the early post-war years. Today, these cars remain among the rarest and most sought-after Mercedes-Benz models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
