The M-B Club Kuwait has done it again. We are now the only car enthusiast club to have participated in every major Classic/collector Carshow in Germany.

The latest: 2019 Technoclassica Essen, the world biggest and most famous classic and collector car show. +3500 cars and the Red baron was the first from the middle east.

Our Stand was in Hall 1, the main Mercedes-Benz hall together with the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Brabus. Our stand featured two cars:

- The guest car is from the Kienle collection, a 1of53 1957 300SC Roadster, winner of the Qatar concours de'Elegance. Worth 1.6 Million Euros.
- Our club car is of course the 1of1 Brabus 6.5 Based on the Factory W124 E60 AMG in Almandine Red.

This time we focused on the achievements and documentation. Having the Vedoc and brabus invoices on display, as well as photo documentation from day 1 (when it was still an E60) till the last day in Germany, then pictures from Kuwait and finishing with pictures from the jury presentation at Masterpiece Concours de'Elegance.

A special treat was meeting the BRABUS chief engineer U.Gauffries whos signature is on all the brabus engine conversion including ours!

For 5 days we met hundreds of people, our stand is exactly next to Brabus so things were very busy. Fellow 124036 owners who visited us include:

Brabus 6.0 from Russia
Carlsson CK60 from Denmark
500E 6.0 AMG from Germany
E500 in Almandine from Sweden
500E 149 White in Blue from Poland
E500 from Poland
E500 limited from Germany
500E in restoration from Germany

You can find the pictures on our Instagram: @mbclubq8 and the video later this week on our youtube channel.

Here is the intro video to our stand in Hall 1.

The Red Baron is near completion, as an unrestored former daily driver it is looking its best. For anyone that has seen it in 2016 (e.g our friends in the UK) can tell how different it now looks and feels, while maintaining its authenticity and patina.
