SBC is asking for information regarding the Maybach that was used by the German Embassy in London during the early fifties.
Reportedly it is a 1937 SW38 model, but fitted with a new Spohn body after the war.

Anybody?

I am interested in all models of the Maybach company, released after the war ... I know of 2 more - it's Maybach SW 42 "Ponton" by Spohn (to 1954), and the Maybach SW 38 "Ponton" Cabriolet by Spohn 1948.

Maybach is really best car and i love it this car so much. The Spohn body was favorite body type in the auto world for the cars, I think because of new Spohn body the sales of SW38 models was increase on that time. Still i am searching SW38 model for buying but i thing no one is using this model now.
