Vintage cars on display

Mercedes-Benz Auckland is hosting its inaugural classics and collectables open day showcasing a collection of vehicles. 

Located at the dealership in Great South Road, Newmarket, it’s a rare opportunity to see classics from the 1950s-90s.

There will be an impressive 1960 SL 190 Roadster, an immaculate 1989 190 E Cosworth sedan, the legendary Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series and modern masterpieces on show.

The event, which runs from 10am-2pm on March 22, will cater for all ages with a variety of fun from face-painting and balloon animals to a racing-simulator challenge to test your driving skills and win some signature merchandise. 

German pretzels will be available during the day with candy floss for the littlies. A DJ will also be on hand to set the mood.

The featured vehicles have all been sourced from Mercedes-Benz Auckland’s extensive client base. 

Dealer principal Michael Collins says: “All the cars we will have on show have been generously lent to us by our customers.

“When we first reached out to them, we were overwhelmed at their response and are thrilled to have such an exceptional selection of vehicles available for the public to view. 

“I’m grateful to everyone loaning us their car, and would like to thank them for their involvement and support.”
