While I was away in Victoria on the Classic Motorcar Rally TTAC published my review of the 300sl. Pictured above is one of that car’s antecedents I saw while touring the collection of Siegfried Linke a few years ago on a previous Classic Motorcar rally. (Hint: it is not the 540K I’ve shown before.) Do you know what car it is?
Looks like some flavor of a 300D…

Specifically, an Adenour.

Actually, you are correct Paul, it is a 300D… and here I thought it was a photo of the pre-war car that was parked NEXT to this “Adenauer”. Good work!
