Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine

Road Test Special: We head into deepest Yorkshire with the 503bhp Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe Edition 1. Ownership: Not content with just one V8 Mercedes, this owner has bought four of them for a modest sum. Interview: We speak exclusively to the ‘father’ of the original CLS and former head of design, Peter Pfeiffer. Road Test: It may be the entry level to the S-Class drop top range, but the S500 Cabriolet looks and goes like a dream. Classic Choice: A W111 280SE Coupe in great condition and offered for a sensible price – what more could you want? Take Two: They may both have five-litre V8s, but there are plenty of differences between these low mile R129 SL500s. Spotlight: This 1975 280CE drag car boasts nitrous injection and a 7.1-litre Chevy block producing over 800bhp! Motorsport: We compete in a Scottish hill climb event using the latest Mercedes-AMG A45 – but how did it fare? Technical: We follow the handiwork of d:Class automotive in Surrey as it revives an AMG driver’s seat. Tale Of The Star: A 170S provided a window into the world of Mercedes for one writer growing up in Germany.
