Mercedes-Benz Will Join Veteran Car Run With A Historic Nameplate

“Our more than 1,000 collection vehicles bring the history of Mercedes-Benz to life. Many are ready to drive and are used at events all over the world. The specialists at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center have used their expertise to get the Mercedes Simplex 28/32 hp in shape for participation in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run,” said Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Heritage.

“Mercedes-Benz, the world’s oldest car manufacturer, simply cannot be absent from the LBVCR. The more so in view of our extremely close association with the Royal Automobile Club since its inception, and with the first ‘Emancipation Run’ from London to Brighton in 1896.”

The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will happen on November 5. Participants, including Peugeot and Renault classic cars, will complete the historic event by enduring 60 miles.
