The official Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany must
be brimming with classics as the museum is now starting to sell some of them
off. The list of cars available for sale can be seen at the website
www.alltime-stars.com and includes some stunners such as a 1929 Type 630
Kompressor and even a 1998 CLK LM endurance racer. The oldest model available
is the Type 630 K while the newest is a 1999 SL55 AMG.
Anyone can view the cars in person at the museum and there
is a sales team on hand to provide detailed information and extensive
descriptions in order to offer as much transparency as possible. Mercedes says
the cars being offered for sale are thoroughly checked using a
comprehensive 160-item checklist.
This ensures any defects or blemishes are identified and recorded.
The sales team also knows exactly what has been modified—and what’s
original—since the vehicle was handed over to its very first owner.
Once checked, a vehicle is classified under one of three groups, depending on
its condition.
Premium Edition: rare cars in original condition, with
very few miles on the clock and fully restored by Mercedes.
Collectors Edition: these cars are in good condition
both technically and visually and are usually unrestored. With these, it’s all
about the provenance and patina.
Drivers Edition: vintage vehicles and modern classics
suitable for everyday driving and for people who want to tinker. These
cars are in good technical condition but still offer potential for further
restoration work.
