Key Facts

• Mercedes-Benz was founded in 1926 in Stuttgart, Germany, although its roots can be traced back to its founder Karl Benz who is widely credited with the invention of the motor car in 1886.
• Mercedes-Benz is part for the “German Big 3” along with Audi and BMW, who are the three biggest selling luxury automakers in the world.
• The first Mercedes-Benz car produced in the modern era was the Mercedes-Benz SSK. The first diesel car was the Mercedes-Benz 260 D.
• Along with developing the first diesel engine, Mercedes-Benz have a long history of pioneering firsts, such as Direct Fuel Injection, Safety Cell, Anti-Lock Brakes and Seat Belt Pre-Tensioners to name but a few.

An iconic brand

When talking about classic cars, you won't find many more vintage than a Mercedes-Benz. Engineer Karl Benz invented the first ever petrol-powered car way back in 1886, making it the oldest automotive brand still in operation today.

But it isn't simply existing – Mercedes is one of the most renowned brands in the world, producing high performance, quality motors with longevity and class.

During its long history as one of the top vehicle manufacturers in the world, Mercedes has produced an impressive range of cars from off-roaders to family saloons and sports models, many of which we have the pleasure of protecting here at Lancaster Insurance Services.

The brand's current company motto is 'the best or nothing', which is definitely apparent in the variety of vintage vehicles it has produced over the years.

That iconic three-pointed star logo adopted in 1925 might have evolved slightly over the years but still symbolises innovation and engineering brilliance to this day.
