Summary[edit]

Description

Checkpoint at Glienicke Bridge, otherwise known as the Bridge of Spies, Berlin, the differential body language of the soldiers and the presence of a radio aerial on the car would indicate the driver of the Mercedes, returning to East Germany, is an important person. Mercedes Daimler Benz 170v, 1.7 litre four cylinder rear wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz introduced in 1936, manual four speed synchromesh gearbox. Claimed maximum power was 37 hp at 3,400 RPM, Petrol consumption 24 mpg. The engine was attached using just two mountings and set standards for smoothness in four-cylinder motors. Enough tooling survived Allied bombing during World War II to serve as the foundation upon which the company could be rebuilt. By 1947 the model 170 V had resumed its place as Mercedes' top-seller, a position it held until 1953.
