Wednesday Mercedes-Benz W18 find..., what about it?



Sometimes it is very frustrating to be the editor here. People send in photos that make your jaws drop and forget to add any info. Hey keep in mind this is not Pinstabook! You need to add a few words! Zakir made us happy sending this single shot of his 1935 Mercedes-Benz 290 w18 cabrio B project. Challenging project Zakir! Just a little bit sad that you didn't add any more info. Even in Russian, Armenian or whatever your native tongue is, all would have been fine. Google translate will help.

1. We would love to hear some of its history or did you find it parked on your driveway today?
2. Мы хотели бы услышать некоторые из его истории или вы нашли это припаркованные на дороге сегодня?
3. Մենք ցանկանում սիրում է լսել նրա որոշ պատմության կամ էլ ձեզ գտնել այն կայանել ձեր փողոցում այսօր.
4. ჩვენ გვინდა, რომ მიყვარს მოვისმინოთ ზოგიერთი მისი ისტორია და არც თქვენ გაჩერებული თქვენი ქუჩის დღეს?
5. Біз өз тарихында кейбір естігіміз келеді еді, немесе ол бүгін сіздің көшеде тұрақтағы Сіз тапты?
6. Radi by sme sa radi počuť niektoré z jeho histórie alebo ste to zaparkované na ulici dnes?
7. Мы хацелі б пачуць некаторыя з яго гісторыі ці вы знайшлі гэта прыпаркаваныя на вашай вуліцы сёння?

Don't be shy!

Hello Zakir,
nice find. It will be very difficult to renovate, but it's worth it.
I have a similar renovation project W18, but in a more complete state.

I will be happy to spare you write me an email: skaut1973*at*seznam.cz and we can discuss about the renovation.

[quote name="Jonathan"]Dear Zakir,

It is great to see, that there are still Mecedes-Benz 290 that survived in unrestored condition. You should contact the MVC, Mercedes-Benz Club in Germany, for further information. Unfortunately engine, gearbox and rear axle for W18 and W142, are very hard to source nowadays.
If you want, I can give you the contact information of the reference person at the MVC. I would be very interested to see more pictures of the car.

Kind regards, Jonathan[/quote]

When i sent this photo,i couldn`t have hoped for a pleasant surpris! As for the car,he come to our country in 1945 year,probably from Romania. On the grille mounted emblem of the automobile club (ACRR) Belonged to the famous filmmaker. Resold several times,before he came to me already in this state. All axternal body parts and cabriolet mechanism is present. No engine,gearbox and rear axle.I would like to hear the opinion of experts on this car to determine its value and possible restoration.
