Classic Days Schloss Dyck 2018 - Start-up spirit of 1886 in the apple orchard

  • 6 years ago
Mercedes-Benz Classic is putting on a show of true start-up spirit at Classic Days Schloss Dyck from 3 to 5 August 2018: the apple orchard will be home to greenhouses reminiscent of Gottlieb Daimler’s garden house in Cannstatt as the germ cell of the automobile and motorised mobility. As a Gold Partner of the renowned festival of classic automobiles, the Stuttgart brand will be represented by numerous vehicles and brand ambassadors. ALL TIME STARS, the vehicle trading platform of Mercedes-Benz Classic, will be present with exclusive SL sports cars.

In the 1880s, the high-speed four-stroke engine of Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach – one of the most important innovations in the history of mobility – was built in a greenhouse in Cannstatt. At Classic Days Schloss Dyck 2018, Mercedes-Benz Classic will recall this inspiring location in the garden of Daimler’s villa in Cannstatt with specially constructed greenhouses. They will serve as a stage for “MB Classic@Apfelwiese”, a focal point of the presenting partner of Classic Days Schloss Dyck in 2018.
At the Orangery of Schloss Dyck, there will be a Mercedes 75 PS Spider from 1907. The sporty and exclusive automobile, which is powered by a six-cylinder in-line engine with 10.2 litres of displacement, was the top model in DMG’s range at the time. The two-seater Spider body underlines the sporty looks of what was at the time a high-performance car.
