Sorry Tony, neither for me.  Anything prior to 1930, I really have no interest in.  But if I had to choose, I would go with the Rolls.

Love brass era. Unique design features, and the novelty factor of early car innovation. I'd call it a tie between the 2. The Rolls was my second FM model in 1986 or 87? 34, 35 years old yet your pics make it look like a just released model Tony, thanks.

Love them both. I have had for over 30 years the 1907 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, which I really enjoy but not the 1904 Mercedes Simplex. As this is not as familiar but very attractive, I would choose it. Good choice of vehicles, Tony. Thanks.

As models: both

As cars in 1907, the RR seems more advanced.

As cars today, I will be happy with MB.

One of my most favorite looks in today's market:

Your graciousness and generosity of character humbles and shames me to the point where I must confess: much of my answer was copied directly from John Napoli`s paper

Scared
