1928 Mercedes-Benz 26/120/180 S-Type Sports Tourer driving the supercharged supercar of its day

This most Germanic of motor cars has a particularly British back story, as Mark Dixon finds out.

RICHARD PEARCE

‘Doing our best to dodge the springtime showers, we rolled out the almost centuryold Mercedes-Benz 36/220 and positioned it in the crisp sunlight. At this point, the beauty of the car did all the hard work – it was almost impossible to take a bad photo.’ Richard’s superb photography accompanies Mark Dixon’s feature.​

1928 Bond 1.5-litre Super Sport

No, it’s not a Bugatti — it’s something considerably rarer. Mark Dixon drives the Yorkshire-built Bond, a unique survivor of one man’s dream.

Editor's comment
Normally I don't like shooting black cars, but the Bond Super Sport had plenty of kerb appeal to make up for it. Its curved rear was my favourite angle, and the brightwork was like mirrors all over the bodywork, making you work harder to minimise reflections' Jonas fantastic photography accompanies Mark Dixons feature on this page.
