The special edition of the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE touring car Museum Edition comes in an exclusive wrapping. This special model was manufactured for the 3th Mercedes-Benz Collectors' Fair 2011.
Over 52 pages, the comic book illustrates the most important milestones in the life of Carl Benz, beginning with his birth on 25 November 1844. Its memorable images tell of the many hurdles and vicissitudes faced over the course of his life by Carl Benz, the man who would determine the birthday of the automobile when he registered the patent for his three-wheeler motor car on 29 January 1886. At his side: his wife Bertha Benz. Her legendary first long-distance drive from Mannheim to Pforzheim with her sons Eugen and Richard, 125 years ago, is very persuasively shown in comic-strip form. The inventions and developments being undertaken at around the same time by those other automotive pioneers, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, in Cannstatt, are also covered.
