This is the 1932 Mercedes-Benz 720 SSK Sports Cabriolet Karrosserie Papler sn35340 Open Top Grey/Black in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1932 Mercedes-Benz 720 SSK Sports Cabriolet with Karrosserie Papler coachwork, chassis number 35340, represents one of the most exclusive and powerful grand touring machines of the pre-war era. Developed under the guidance of legendary engineer Ferdinand Porsche during his time at Mercedes-Benz, the SSK featured a massive supercharged inline-six engine capable of extraordinary performance for the early 1930s. What truly set this particular car apart was its rare custom Sports Cabriolet body by Karrosserie Papler, combining elegant handcrafted luxury with the raw performance of a competition-inspired chassis. Long flowing fenders, exposed side exhausts, and imposing proportions gave the SSK an unmatched road presence, making it one of the most desirable and historically significant automobiles of its time.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors.
