Thanks to you both, and to everyone else who's helped me identify cars since I joined. It was a fantastic car show on Sunday with cars such as Imp's (Hillman AND Sunbeam), a Gilbern Invader, a few Mustangs, Charger RT440, Quattro's and even a bunch of agricultural vehicles and lorries.

Looks like a mercedes
Could it be a 170 cabrio

I was looking at the hood irons on this!

The hood irons are typically Germanic, and not really identifiable to one particular make or model. I would go with Roger's dash identity, that looks spot on!

Roger's dash is the one.

The Opel irons are different but it doesn't help that have fitted them the wrong way around.

I think you can still fold the Landau bars but they fold the wrong way and look silly.

I'd say that it is a Renault.
