Where did you get the picture from? I would like to grab it to send to a friend of mine who may be able to help.

We may have real John Doe on our hands here. No joy from my sources! This is a real mystery!

etienne received a reply from the m-b musuem. from the horse’s mouth:
thanks for your interst.
The car the pictures shows is an Mercedes-Benz C 111 study from 1969 –
designed by no one less than Bruno Sacco. The study isn’t well known and it
is just a clay model with no drivetrain and no interieur.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
Kind regards
