MERCEDES-BENZ COMMITTED TO THE BRITISH INTERNATIONAL MOTORSHOW
Posted 23rd April, 2008 in Mercedes-Benz | 47 Comments
Coming 105 years after Mercedes-Benz UK’s first appearance at an official Motor Show (held in 1903 at The Crystal Palace), the company will display a range of its latest models and services.
Mercedes-Benz World, the innovative Brand Experience Centre at Brooklands, Surrey, will feature on the stand. Dubbed by many as a “motor show every day of the year, Mercedes-Benz World has
welcomed well over 440,000 guests through its doors since the site opened in October 2006.
And over 15,000 children have enjoyed their first taste of life behind the wheel at Brooklands, thanks to Kids Driving Experiences. If they’re tall enough to reach the pedals, children can drive in a brand new Mercedes-Benz on the original surface of the hallowed Brooklands Circuit.
Among the new metal at the show will be the ground-breaking smart ed – a zero emissions electric vehicle currently on test with customers around the country. Indeed, all current non-Brabus smart models fall under the October 2008 London Congestion Charge CO2 limits – meaning Capital city motoring is toll-free for new smart fortwo drivers.
Show goers can also expect to find the current holder of the London Land Speed Record on display in ExCeL’s Halls – the awesome Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. On Saturday 15 July 2006, the SLR McLaren recorded a speed of 175.7 mph on the runway of London City Airport.
Motor Show is still relevant to us and to our customers, and it remains the only place where over 400,000 visitors can see our stand in two weeks. Mercedes-Benz has always used its presence at the Show in a different way to many exhibitors our stand wont just feature polished cars parked on carpet and this year well once again do things differently.
Mercedes-Benz and its companies have a long history with the British Motor Show. Indeed, following an initial 1891 business agreement between Gottlieb Daimler and Frederick R Simms, (founder of Motor Show organisers SMMT), the Daimler Motor Company was present at the first official Motor Show, held at the Crystal Palace in 1903.
In 2006 the company used its stand to launch Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, its innovative Brand Experience Centre. In 2004, both the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and Maybach luxury limousine made their public British show debuts at the Motor Show Live whilst in 2002 the company celebrated 35 years of high-performance AMG models.
Gordon Freshwater concluded: We’d like to see as many people as possible at ExCeL, but if they cant make it to London, people can see our latest models and services at their local retailer. As well as Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands weve over 150 state-of-the-art facilities all over the country, and of course they’re open year-round.
Mercedes-Benz will reveal its Motor Show exhibits later this spring.
IF YOU’RE GOING TO COMMENT REGARDING AN SMS MESSAGE TELLING YOU YOU’VE WON A CAR; WE’RE GUESSING IT’S A HOAX. OTHERWISE MERCEDES-BENZ WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS BY NOW…

hi ….. I received a message on my mobile phone , that I won a Mercedes Benz 380 C class in a promotion held in Nairobi Kenya, so I would really appreciate an e-mail that gives me explanations and details
thanks
19. 25th July, 2008 at 06:20 by Arthur
I also received an SMS stating I had received the prize! At this rate, it looks like they are giving away many cars! Until a firm offer or further details are in my hands, I will consider this yet another nuisance scam. If someone is asking for $1000 before handing over the prize, you can be sure its a scam!
20. 27th July, 2008 at 07:23 by ML Rohwer
Oh dear, i got the same sms about the Mercedes 380C. Are we all being scammed? Please can someone let me know if this is a hoax or not. Many thanks
21. 27th July, 2008 at 08:54 by CJ Otto
I received the same SMS about the 380 C. I doubt a company giving away a car like that will contact you via SMS without leaving a name or anything… These scamers think they clever, dont fall for it.

This afternoon I received two messages from German International Motor Dealers informing me that I have won a Mercedes E 240 worth $US 140,000 from their draw. I sent a text and called the the number but got no response. Is his message a hoax? I hope some one from the company will email me the answer.

I`m just simply happy to know what is Mercedes Benz E240.
Let`s forget about it!
Take a step! Why not?
42. 4th August, 2008 at 11:48 by Jackman
Listen guys! This surely is a Hoax, scam!!…
I received an SMS stating that I have won a Mercedes E240 from the JAPANESE INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW…. As far as I know, this event does not exist… And how and why would you win a prize if you’ve never entered that type of competition?!
And why do you have to pay a certain amount of money in order to claim your prize??!!!
…………
It’s all a little tooooo Fishy!!!!

Hey guy dont be caught by the mercedes benz SCAM – its simply a way to con you out of hard earn cash – they do that every day in my country. Just erase the message and do not fall prey to the element of GREED.
