Welcome
Thank you for your interest in classic cars by Mercedes-Benz.
I am a private collector of classic Mercedes-Benz cars and have cars dating from 1912 to the 1960's.
Some of the cars I have restored to its former glory and some I bought already restored. Maintaining a large fleet of cars has resulted in me buying spares and complete cars in order to have some stocks of spares rather than having to hunt around the world for parts.
Parts for sale
Having a warehouse full of parts plus many cars as well, I am sometimes in the position to help others with parts. In me building up my "spares department" I have made contact with people worldwide. So if you are looking for certain parts and I don't have them, there is a good chance that I can locate them for you.
Cars for sale
Some of my cars are indeed for sale. I often drive one for a few years and then move on to a different model. Also if you are looking for a specific model I can probably find you one. I do charge a small finders commission to cover my costs. Sometimes I also have cars for sale that aren't mine. For a small charge I can add some cars to my website.
Literature & Automobilia
I have a vast library of spare parts books, manuals, etc. Some of these are for sale. I also have some photocopies of these.
I have several warehouses where I keep my cars and any enthusiast is welcome to view them, but I must insist on prior arrangements, mainly because some cars are kept at different locations for security reasons.
I also buy cars and parts but they must be unusual and only prior to 1970. Basically if it is Mercedes I have an interest in it so do feel free to contact me if you need any help. I have very little or no knowledge of post 1970 cars.
Again, thank you for your interest in classic Mercedes-Benz and happy motoring.

April 2008 me and my 2 co-workers Cliff and Ray went to Stuttgart. On our way we stopped of near Koblenz and saw some amazing castles. Next morning we woke up to heavy snow, but that did not stop us. First a short visit to the MB Classic Centre and then on to the museum. There is some amazing stuff there. I took loads of pictures but to get a better impression one needs to visit it. A must for every MB enthusiast. After the museum it was on to Essen to Techno Classica and saw some great archtechture along the Rhine. As usual I spend an awful lot of money there on rare parts I need for my restorations. But in between hunting for parts it is good to look at some cars and meet up with clients from all over the world.
