First Ride: We’ve put the old G63 AMG against the latest version and taken to the countyside to see the difference. Tuner Car: A very rare R63 AMG that’s been modified to create something unique thanks to some choice additions. Classic Choice: A 1960s Fintail that’s part of the Classic Center in California, won our contributer’s heart over. Youngtimer: Can you really buy and run a Mercedes for less than £1,000? We find out from an owner who has done. Road Trip: The first of two parts: an epic 11,000 mile trip across Europe in a trusty W123 that’s ripe for the occasion. Spotlight: An SLK32 AMG that wears a stylish 300SL Gullwing body for the perfect all round Mercedes restomod. Profile: We visit the Old Merc Man, a used Mercedes-Benz parts specialist based in South Africa’s Eastern Cape area. Engine Masters: We take a look at the OM651 engine, the modern four-cylinder diesel unit that has proved popular. History: The famous racing driver Karl Kling is the centre of our attention this month as we review his life with M-B.
