short wheelbase
In the same collection for 20 years
After developing compressors for aircraft engines at the end of the First World War
Mercedes was the first manufacturer in the world to apply supercharging to production automobiles. At the 1921 Berlin Motor Show
Paul Daimler introduced the Mercedes Sport 6/25/40 and 10/40/65 models
both equipped with a four-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft and a Roots compressor
Respectively
these 1.6 and 2.6-litre engines develop 6 and 10 fiscal horsepower
25 and 40 or 40 and 65 horsepower depending on whether the compressor is engaged or not. The supercharger is activated by the driver pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down
resulting in a significant increase in power
The Mercedes type 10/40/65 is therefore a sports touring model that was widely successful in racing with the short wheelbase version
known as sport. It was included in a major Hungarian collection when this example was discovered by Michel Broual in 2005 and was exchanged for a Panhard & Levassor from 1902
As a knowledgeable enthusiast
the latter had been looking for one of these iconic Mercedes for a long time
of which only a few survivors remain. Inspection of the car revealed that it was built with an important part of original parts
including the engine and compressor
the front and rear axles
and many other compliant parts. An 8-page article published in 2005 featuring this example in the Veteran magazine indicated that around fifty Mercedes with compressors were registered in Hungary in 1924 and that only 3 survivors remained
Even if the chassis plate is missing
the engine one is in its proper place. The chassis is stamped with the number 1153
which can be found (1153/41) on the engine casings
as well as appearing on its Hungarian title. In good overall condition visually and mechanically but mainly presented at exhibitions for 20 years
this exceptional Mercedes will require a standard service before being ready to take part in the most prestigious pre-war sports and racing car events
