MONSTER BENZ MAKES ITS OWN ROAD

  By ,

Think Mercedes-Benz and one automatically pictures high-end cars and SUVs. But Benz has a lot of irons in many other fires, including military-style off road trucks for just about every application. When a UK company wanted something it could use for laying emergency roll out road base, it turned to Benz which specially modified this 8×8 monster for the job. The vehicle has been fitted with hook-loading equipment and has a mechanised body capable of laying up to 50 metres of interlocking M150 Trackway aluminium panels over undulating terrain in… Read more

  By ,

In the immediate post-World War II period Mercedes was struggling to get back on its feet. With almost three-quarters of its factories being razed it was not until 1948 that the company was able to start making cars again. Initially these were pre-WWII carry over models which continued until 1953 when the company released the 180 Ponton saloon. It was this car that formed the basis of the 190SL. The first prototype was built early in 1954 but underwent considerable reworking before the production model appeared in March of that… Read more

MERCEDES C-CLASS 2007 – 2021

  By ,

Mercedes C-Class is sold as a three-door coupe or cabriolet, a four-door sedan and five-door station wagon. It has rear-wheel-drive car with a north-south engine, so the front seats are set relatively far back to make space for the engine. People travelling in the back seats of sedans and wagons may find themselves a little cramped unless those in the front seats are willing to give up some space. This has improved over the years as the C-Class models have become slightly larger. The back seats in the coupe are… Read more
