Mercedes-Benz Classic will give out a special kind of eye candy at the eleventh Saxony Classic event, in Germany.
From 22 to 24 august 2013, more than 180 vintage cars will cover about 600 kilometers (373 miles) through Vogtland and the Erz mountains, in Saxony - a place that is pretty closely associated with the birthplace of the modern car.
A gorgeous Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (W198) and an “old-school executive” represented by a 300 SEL 6.3 (W109) will be brought by the Mercedes-Benz Classic division to be driven by two tri-star brand ambassadors.
The 300 SL Roadster will have Andreas Renschler at the wheel during the three-day event. The man is a member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for production purchasing at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans.
With 250 horsepower and a massive for its time torque figure of 500 Nm (368.8 ft lb), the 45-year old 300 SEL luxury sedan will be driven by Joachim Ersing, director of the Mercedes-Benz branch in Dresden.
Both vehicles come from Mercedes-Benz's private stash of classic vehicles, with each of them representing important parts of automotive history.
