Greetings!

Looking over the recent auction results from the Bonhams sale at the MB Museum in Stuttgart reveals the stunning diversity of MB products produced over the last century. Is there another manufacturer that has built two cars as vastly different as Mercedes' 1936 540K Cabriolet A and 1976 Unimog Dopple Kabine?

And which manufacturer has been involved in motor sport in one way or another for 120 years? Yes, it's a most fascinating company. The MB Classic Center demonstrated a massive group of competition cars at Lord March's glorious Goodwood Festival of Speed in England last month.
Not all of the precious oldtimers escaped unscathed during their runs up Lord March's drive as our Rally 500SL article reveals.

Next stop for the 120 years of motor sport celebration is Monterey next week and I'll be there for five days savoring all that is "Monterey Week." Legends of the Autobahn returns to Monterey at a new venue, the Nicklaus Club - Monterey. It's a must visit for any serious Mercedes devotee.

We don't anticipate any 123 models navigating an auction ramp in Monterey. The proceedings on California's central coast have somewhat of a high-brow tone to them which doesn't accommodate the old 123's sedate character. But, as our photo group below reveals, 123 glamour is just a matter of a proper setting.
