Mercedes 170 V

Post by KDF »

Anyone have any good pre-war or wartime photos of the Mercedes 170V , or know any websites etc ?

I`m interested in seeing the different colours they were painted and if front & back convoy lights ( Noteks ) were fitted etc.

Before I start work on restoring the wings, bonnet etc I`ve `dried` fitted it all together to make sure they are the original parts of this car ( it was dismantled before I brought it ). They fitted fairly okay, although some sheet steel parts will need replacing.

It`s now a case of taking it apart again and starting the engine panels through to the radiator being tested and if it`s okay the wings,sills and running boards being reworked....

Interesting markings. They suggest a civillian car taken into military service but the makers plate is waffenamt marked suggesting military use from new?

Do you have any more history on the vehicle Keith?

Hi Mark,

Do you mean any on my vehicle or you mean the photos I posted of the one with the trailer ? With mine I`ve yet to start any research, in fact...any ideas anyone on where to start ? Mercedes won`t give any info out unless I can prove I`m the legal owner...that means I need to register said rusty junk with the DVLA...
