This is the Mercedes 15/70/10PS typ400 Tourenwagen 1924/1929 Grey/Black Opened Top in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The Mercedes 15/70/100 PS, produced between 1924 and 1929, was a pioneering luxury automobile that introduced several advanced features for its time. Notably, it was equipped with a 3.9-liter inline-six engine featuring an overhead camshaft—a rarity in the 1920s. The engine's performance was further enhanced by a switchable supercharger ("Kompressor"), boosting power from 70 PS to 100 PS when engaged. This innovation allowed the vehicle to achieve top speeds between 105 km/h and 112 km/h, depending on the final drive ratio. The 15/70/100 PS also featured four-wheel braking with a cable linkage, enhancing safety and control. Its combination of cutting-edge engineering and luxury set it apart from competitors, solidifying its status as a hallmark of automotive excellence during its era.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
