Mercedes-Benz Club Enjoy Another NEC Classic Car Show

STAMFORD, U.K. - Nov. 18, 2018 - PRLog -- The Mercedes-Benz Club enjoyed a very successful NEC Show with a record number of 185 new members signed up and over 1,500 members visiting the stand and enjoying the complimentary refreshments on offer in the Club's Café over a very busy 3 day period.

The Club stand was larger than ever before and displayed a range of members cars from the 1930s to the 80s plus a new Mercedes-Benz Maybach loaned by Mercedes-Benz UK. The 1965 600 Grand owned by Club stalwart Geoffrey Hunter was a crowd pleaser as was the diminutive 1938 170V Sports Roadster owned by Derek Wood. These were supplemented by an iconic 1960 300SL roadster a more modern 300SL from 1988, a 220 cabriolet B from 1951 and a 1959 190b Ponton which was judged the "best car on the stand". These pristine examples were in stark contrast to a rusty W107 SL chassis provided by the SL Shop to highlight the problems to look out for.

The stand at the NEC Show is produced at the Club's own expense and the Club's technical team were busy all weekend answering members queries.

The Club's charity is RNLI and just under £75 was in the collecting boxes at the end of the Show.
