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 These little 1.25 Zetec Fiestas are great. This one has only done 28,000 miles and is 750 quid with a long MOT.

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 Schaefft, Dabooka, grogee 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. MisterH and Inspiral_Mondays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

A friend of mine recently bought one of these. They were actually sold here, but as far as I know the survivors were all exported years ago, so I think it's probably the only one in the UK now.

And found the picture of an identical car I think of it in the story. But annoying that I do not remember where I read this and can not find it online so must have been a magazine or book.

Wow this thing is legendary around these parts. I think the idea is that it still has all of the pumping/ firefighting stuff in there so it's tax and MOT free.
