- Mercedes-Benz Classic supplies genuine replacement parts for vehicles of all generations
Classic car enthusiasts are already looking forward to the start of the next season in spring 2024. The “Classics & Coffee” meeting – hosted once more by the Mercedes-Benz Museum in 2024 and open to all brands – will be a popular event again. Several hundred vehicles roll onto the museum hill on these days. See and be seen, chat about the vehicles and the hobby, plus a coffee or something else to drink: this relaxed mix has made the open-air event a great success over the years. Many vehicles at “Classics & Coffee” have an H registration plate, with the H standing for historic. With that, several Mercedes-Benz vehicle models that were newly launched on the market in 1994 can be registered in the coming year for the first time.
The extensive supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz replacement parts plays a key role in ensuring that these classic vehicles and many others from throughout the brand’s history can be driven in optimum technical condition. The main focus is on driving- and safety-relevant replacement parts. In 2024, important models from model series 124, 140 and 202 can be registered with a historic licence plate for the first time. For each of these model series, there are several thousand replacement parts available directly from the manufacturer.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class from model series 140 – Saloons and Coupés
The early S-Class Saloons have had classic status for some years now. From next year, the first facelifted S-Class vehicles will also be able to obtain the H licence plate: they were presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1994. Detail modifications convey a visually lighter, more well-proportioned and more dynamic appearance. The S 420 Coupé, a new entry-level model in the brand’s luxury coupé range, was also at Geneva 30 years ago.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class from model series 124 – Saloons and Cabriolets
The Mercedes-Benz model series 124 is a popular classic with high everyday qualities. There is a wide range of models available, including Saloon, Estate, Coupé and Cabriolet. Further models will attain classic status next year. Two distinct automotive delicacies with eight-cylinder engines are the E 60 AMG (280 kW/381 hp) and the E 500 Limited (235 kW/320 hp), which was limited to just 500 vehicles. The E 200 Cabriolet was also an enthusiast’s car right from the start. It was in the domestic sales programme from March 1994. The open-top four-seater entered production for export in July 1993.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class from model series 202 – C 36 AMG
Series production of the C 36 AMG began in January 1994. The brand presented the flagship model of the series a few months earlier at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main. A powerful six-cylinder engine with 206 kW (280 hp) in the compact saloon: this combination made the vehicle a great success. 5,221 vehicles of the type had been produced by 1997.
