The Mercedes-Benz Museum is selling some of its pieces: car enthusiasts have reason to celebrate

The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is one of the most incredible and fascinating places for any car lover.

Now, fans of the brand with the star have reason to celebrate, after the company announced that it will put part of its collection up for sale at prices that, admittedly, are not affordable for everyone.

Opened in 2007, the German company’s museum houses more than 160 cars behind its walls, some of which date back to the earliest days of the automobile as we know it today, with a value that is practically incalculable. However, many others have a precisely calculated value, and some of them will be the ones put up for sale.

Mercedes-Benz has organised the vehicles being sold – around 30 units – into three different categories depending on their current condition. The most exclusive and expensive tier is the “Premium Edition”. These are the most valuable pieces in the collection because, in addition to being in completely pristine condition, they are special vehicles, produced in limited runs and of unusual rarity. In this range we can find, for example, a 1998 CLK-LM with just 15,000 km.

The middle tier is called the “Collectors Edition”, and includes vehicles in an almost perfect state of preservation, but with higher mileage. These are somewhat more common cars that were produced in larger numbers. One example is an E60 AMG W124 with 75,000 km, which is for sale for €189,000.

In third place we find the “Drivers Edition”. These are more popular models, sold in greater numbers, and although they are in good condition, their restoration/preservation is not complete. Either way, the brand encourages future owners of these cars to use them without any concern. In this category we find, for example, a lovely W123 200D with close to 300,000 km, which is being sold for nearly €10,000.
