[B]MERCEDES BENZ Typ 170 (W15) 1931 - 1936[/B]

The typ 170 was a technologically advanced wheeled diorama sporting a straight 6-cylinder petrol unit displacing 1.7 L. With a power output of 32 bhp, the car may not have been very fast but it was certainly an all get-around car that set itself apart through its choice of suspension and braking system. Having made use of the latest in car tech, the 170 was launched with an independent rear suspension comprising a swing axle mated to coil springs. Four wheel hydraulic brakes swiftly brought the car to a stop while central lubrication kept the chassis in excellent condition.
