I Wonder How Many More Finds Like This Are Still Out There?

this being a rare 1928 Mercedes-Benz 26/120/180  'S' Type Sports Tourer ,

Ferdinand Porsche designed the supercharged 6.8-liter engine which was set in a low-slung chassis frame and adorned with the now iconic Mercedes 'V'radiator grille, capable of more than 100mph, the 'S' was first seen at the Nürburgring in 1927, where it won in the 5-Liter class and recorded the fastest time of the day at the hands of ace driver Rudy Carraciola,


as the blurb says, 'the Mercedes has never been restored, and even retains its original blue leather upholstery in its entirety, a 'timewarp' find that has been parked in the same garage since the 1930's, and laid up since the 1950's, its unworn 1928 logbook evidences a passage of ownership within the same family throughout', so it has one owner from new, no indication of mileage was given, but I guess that is not an issue, the car was supplied through 'The British Mercedes Ltd.' in London and was bodied by local London-based coachbuilders Cadogan Motors with lightweight fabric sports tourer bodywork, (under license from Weymann Fabric Bodies),


the Mercedes will be exhibited at the Brooklands Double Twelve Meeting on the weekend of 16/17th June, and at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Meeting from 29th June to 1st July prior to the sale at the Goodwood Revival Meeting on 15th September 2012 guide price? £1.5million, would I like one? yes please! but back to my first question how many more cars are still waiting to be 'found' again?
