The Mercedes-Benz Classic Centre Stuttgart has confirmed a delegation visit to Sydney in June 2026 for the MCDA AGM. This is the first Stuttgart delegation to Australia since 2014.
Delegation members: Frau Dr. Hellmann (Head of Classic Archive), Herr Engelmann (Senior Restoration Engineer, M129/M130 specialist - and yes, this is Wilfried's old colleague), and Herr Kurz (Provenance Authentication).
The visit will include:
- Static display by MCDA members at the AGM Concours (cars by invitation - I will be in touch with selected members)
- Provenance authentication session: 12 MCDA members may submit Mercedes-Benz Group Archive Stuttgart certificate cross-references in person, free of charge
- Technical briefing on M100 and M117 production records (members briefing, recorded for absent members)
This is significant. Please mark the calendars for June 20-21, 2026.
