I'm glad I could help.

It's the only car I could think of fitting your description.

Personally,I'd be happy to spend hours and hours detailing one of those.

Gorgeous ride!

 Shippings going to cost me $36.25USD

I feel your pain. ordering o/s is expensive (not to mention the NZD exchange rate). still, for you to post it back would cost more (at least it would if posted from Australia to USA.)

Wait before you order the kit. I have one in my stash. Let me go to my local post office to see what it would cost me to airmail my kit to you.Gordon

Lindberg makes a 1/25th scale model of the 1935 Auburn Speedster. It's kit number 72324. I don't know it the new company has reissued it yet. However, go to modelroundup.com They have some for sale. Hope this helps.

Ah - I thought the picture you posted of the SS http://www.classics.com/images01/pb01-18.jpg was what you were looking for, I missed the "like" bit.

I'm pretty confident it's a Merc SS roadster (six cylinder engine).

Unknown Car, want kit.
Posted by Scorpiomikey on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 6:34 PM

Hey guys, this is my first post in the Autos forum (im an aviation nutter) And im after an unusual car, hoping its not a custom built, hoping theres a kit out there for it.

It looks alot like a 1935 Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster. Except its got a boat tail on it, its a V12, and has like exhaust lines running out of the nose, down the side and back into the body (i think theyre exhaust lines, big silver pipes anyway) 

Like This

I hope thats enough to go on. im working from memory and if i search hard enough im sure i could find a photo of the one i saw. 

Thanks heaps in advance.

Mike
