Mercedes 170 V
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.

I have a BMW 321 I found in the bottom of my garden ( wasnt the VW Bettle I was after)
Re: Mercedes 170 V
Found these photos...looks to be a Wehrmacht vehicle witha civvie reg plate. However it`s the trailer behind the car..wonder if it`s to be towed by it ?
Any other photo`s of Merc 170 v`s about ?

Re: Mercedes 170 V
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....

Re: Mercedes 170 V
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?

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...
