The Mercedes Benz W136 was the company's line on in-line 4 cylinder motor cars from the mid-1930s and into the 1950s. The model 170v made its public debut in February 1936. Between 1936 and 1939 it was Mercedes' top-selling model, and by 1942 over 75,000 were built. The 1.7litre four-cylinder rear wheel drive was introduced in 1936, to replace the 1.7litre six-cylinder Mercedes 170 (W15); despite their similar engine capacities, the new cars side valve M136 was more powerful. The manual transmission was four-speed synchromesh, having been upgraded from synchromesh in only the top two ratios in 1940. The claimed maximum power was 37hp, with mileage of approx 25mpg. There were various bodywork options with this example being two-door cabriolet saloon. Driven in and in good running order.
