Can somebody identify this Mercedes?...

Looks like a 170V to me.

Built between 1946 and 1953.

It doesn't look 100% original to me, could be modified or a kit?

I was just about to say that, wheels look too small for a car of that era.

Yeah, the rear indicators and rear bumper don't look original either.

looks a bit like a 2CV based kit car to me ... I might be way off but proportions seem about right!

Looks like a Porsche to me.

I may pop down this week and have a closer look, it doesn't look like it's been driven in awhile as 2 of the tyres were flat and seemed to be very "weather worn".

I agree with the 170 conclusion,thoguh they were also made prior to the war. As well as what had been said already,light look wrong.

is it just the rear lights making everyone think its a 2cv?
