According to a press release HERE:
The Concours is Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s initiative to celebrate Mercedes Benz’s jubilee year commemorated worldwide to mark Mercedes-Benz’s 125 Years of Innovation and mark the registration of Carl Benz’s “vehicle with gas-engine drive” bearing patent number 37435 with the Berlin Patent Office on January 29, 1886. At the same time as Benz, Gottlieb Daimler developed the first four-wheeled motor car.
“The pioneering efforts of Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler led in the shaping and development of the Mercedes-Benz. Daimler trail-blazed the development of the automobile more diversely and enduringly than any other motor vehicle manufacturer - in all relevant areas, from drive train technology to comfort and safety through to design.
The Concours will also showcase competitor’s cars including the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500k Roadster, 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 LS Gullwing, 1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Ponton Cabriolet and various versions of the Mercedes-Benz Fintail. Mercedes-Benz will also showcase its current portfolio of passenger cars, vans, buses and trucks at the Concours.
You can contact 1-800-88-1133 for more information. This event is jointly organised with Historic Motoring Ventures (M) Sdn Bhd.
Incidentally, my cousin will be taking part in this event. A few hours ago, he just loaded one of his cars, a rare vintage item, for this event. Here is his baby before it went on the road.
So if you are in the vicinity of the Palace of Golden Horses, do swing by and check out the event. You will not be disappointed. It is a pity I cannot be there as my younger boy's exams begin next week. In the mean time, enjoy the rest of the evening and do swing by later for the next post.
Happy Mothers' Day in advance!
