This is the Mercedes-Knight 16/45PS 1922 sn20190 Original Car Green Closed Top in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1922 Mercedes-Knight 16/45 PS, serial number 20190, is a notable example of early 20th-century automotive innovation, distinguished by its unique Knight sleeve-valve engine. This four-cylinder engine, with a displacement of 4,080 cm³, produced 45 PS (33 kW) at 1,750 rpm. Unlike conventional engines that used poppet valves, the Knight engine employed sliding sleeves to control the intake and exhaust processes, resulting in a remarkably quiet and smooth operation. This design also provided high torque at low engine speeds, enhancing drivability. The vehicle featured a four-speed manual transmission and a robust chassis with a wheelbase ranging from 2,320 to 3,240 mm, depending on the body style. Its advanced engineering and refined performance set it apart from contemporaries, showcasing Mercedes' commitment to innovation during that 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.
