Mercedes Type 400

It is a grandiose car, with a beautifully sculptured frontal appearance. In the best of British tradition, but obviously German manufactured. Regards Styria

Indeed a car I would like to drive. Anyone got a spare one?
The supercharger would make a real difference and would probably be sufficient to keep the vehicle in tune with modern traffic flows. I am of the opinion that unless you can drive a car such as this you should not be allowed on the road.
I note the introduction seems to imply that it is not easy to drive. Fiddlesticks! All it takes is focus and nerve.
Regards,

That 400 is a superb Vintage car!

Speaking of Vintage there will be a 1912 Benz on display on Saturday.
