cl82 ◊ 2014-04-26 20:10	I might be wrong, but isn't it a bit newer than the SSKs from the 1920s?
fortengo ◊ 2014-04-26 22:33	I agree... it appears to be a 1939 540 K Spezial Roadster.

cl82 ◊ 2014-04-27 22:02	Yes, that's exactly what I thought, too. Especially the doors look different here. Could it be a special version, made by some independent coachbuilder?
