Hi Max,

thanks for this interesting pic. Sorry, but it is an Opel "Blitz" 3,5 - 134. Please, have a look on Holger´s site.

Best regards

This Mercedes L 3000 looks like more the victim of a simple prang than battle damage, but at least he didn't knock over the loo!

Hi Raul:

I make this one a ca. 1938 Opel Olympia.

The ID features are:
Shape of the rear window.
Shape of the trunk/boot and arrangement of the hinges.
Placement of the neck for the petrol filler.
Arrangement of the spare wheel on the trunk/boot.
The style of the mount for the rear lamp. It is on the other side in my example but it looks the same.
The style of the rear bumper.

Cheers
Bill
