Mercedes will display cars from its motorsport past at this year's Retro Classics show. Visitors to this year's Stuttgart show will be able to see a wide range of highlights from the past 125 years.
The oldest car will be a 1894 model that completed the journey from Paris to Rouen, widely argued to be the first car ever race ever.
Also on show is the 1909 'Blitzen Benz' - which boasts the largest capacity engine ever used by the company. The 21.5-litre 200hp was good for 200km/h and was the fastest road car at the time.
But the displays that many are looking forward to seeing are the Formula 1 racing car W196 R (1955) and a GT racing car CLK-LM (1998).
