We had a great day out at Oulton Park on Bank Holiday Monday 30 August, with perfect weather and exciting racing. It was made all the more special by the appearance of Sir Stirling Moss, not only doing demonstration laps in the Ferguson P99 4WD Formula 1 car in which he won the 1961 Oulton Park Gold Cup race, but actually competing in his own 1956 OSCA FS372 car.

We had just bought a vintage poster showing Stirling's 1955 Mille Miglia winning Mercedes 300SLR and were wandering around the paddock when who should we come across but the great man himself, soaking up the sun before performing on the circuit. A pen was hurriedly found and suddenly we were chatting away while he signed our souvenir - what a treat! You will be as pleased as we were to hear that he is recovering well from his recent liftshaft accident, and judging by the attention he paid to Ann he obviously hasn't lost his touch with the ladies!

Cheshire Classic Benz Ltd specialise in supplying the highest quality examples of the rarer Mercedes-Benz models from the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

We only sell cars which have been well cared for and sympathetically used. Every car we sell is subjected to a full mechanical check by our local Mercedes-Benz dealer or independent Mercedes-Benz specialist, and any faults found are rectified. An invoice for the work carried out is supplied with the car, along with our own warranty. See Our Standards for further details.

Our favourite Mercedes models from this period are the beautiful E Class coupes and cabriolets, and the gorgeous SL roadsters. We are also very fond of the S Class saloons and coupes, the saloon and estate versions of the E Class, and the smaller but just as perfectly formed 190E saloons. Also of growing interest are the W123 saloons, coupes and estate cars from the late seventies and early eighties. We are passionate about these cars, and we hope you will be too.

We also have a great regard for the Mercedes roadster, coupe, saloon and cabriolet models from the sixties and early seventies, though these can now be very expensive to buy and maintain and are not often to be found in the condition we would want to sell. We would not recommend anybody other than the dedicated enthusiast, or those with very deep pockets, to take on one of these, though for those who appreciate them they can be very satisfying to own.
