SHOT
Think Kübelwagen and VW’s lightweight corrugated panelled Type 82 immediately springs to mind,
but the Mercedes-Benz take on the same ‘bucket car’ theme is much rarer. This one, owned by
Steve Lamonby from Winchester, dates from 1939 and as we understand it was shipped over from
Norway several decades ago. Sold commercially as the W136, it features an inline four-cylinder
engine and between 1936 and 1939 it became the Stuttgart firm’s best selling model. The V stood
for ‘front’ to distinguish it from contemporary rear-engined cars in the Mercedes range at the time
and the K confirmed it as being the open-topped version or Kübel.
