Benz Patent-Motorwagen Replica

On January 29, 1886 Karl Benz patented the first automobile – the three-wheeled Patent-Motorwagen. Later in the same year just 60 miles away Gottlieb Daimler patented an internal-combustion engine and began with the construction of a four-wheeled horseless carriage. At the time neither Benz nor Daimler were aware of the other's work. The rest is (automotive) history. In commemoration of this milestone of engineering, Mercedes-Benz had produced a series of fully functioning replicas of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 2001 / 2002, mainly for museum and other public exhibit purposes. This particular example was built in 2002, was recently acquired, inspected and serviced by the Classic Center and presents with full functionality.
