Mercedes-Benz: The car that started it all...

Mercedes-Benz is regarded as the first production car (it created the first petrol powered car in 1886) and, as such, it is the oldest automotive brand which is still in operation today. Mercedes isn't merely operating, it is excelling across the world, known for producing quality and a long-lasting vehicles.

Because of Mercedes' longevity as an automobile manufacturer it has produced a number of classic cars, from family saloons to performance cars and is also a regular participant in Formula 1 racing. The iconic three pointed star has been the symbol of Mercedes' brand since 1925, shortly before the company's merger with Daimler.

Classic Cars from Mercedes

Mercedes have produced a number of classic cars over its hundred-plus year history, many of which are highly sought after by collectors. Iconic cars like the 170V and the 500 K Special Roadster helped to cement the Mercedes brand both as high-end consumer vehicle but also as a sports car range.

Whichever type of Mercedes vehicle you own you can be assured of its build quality as the company believes in its motto of 'the best or nothing'.

Over the years, Mercedes has produced many classic cars and has been at the forefront of innovation within the automotive industry, for instance in 1936 it produced the 260D which was the world's first diesel production car.

Mercedes vehicles are identified by their class; such as the ‘C class’, being a coupe or a cabriolet and the ‘S class’, indicating a special or flagship range of vehicles. The 1981 S class car is regarded as one of the best luxury sedans of its era while the 2005 S class was the first car to ever be awarded a special environmental certificate from the German Technical Compliance Commission.

As a general rule the older a Mercedes the more sought after it will be by collectors. For example, the inaugural C class car which was first brought out in 1993 is more collectable than the current range.

However, that said, Mercedes is still one of the highest priced range vehicles on the market and many drivers who are not enthusiasts value current range Mercedes cars for their safety, efficiency and their quality. Current popular models in the range for example include the A Class Hatchback and the E Class Saloon.

You cannot mention Mercedes without referring to the SLK class of compact sports cars. The R170 was first launched in 1996 and became an immediate hit with automotive fans as it was one of the first ever hard-top convertibles. The SLK is a car that is sporty, light and short and is one of the most popular roadsters on the market.
