Why Mercedes Benz?

Owning a Mercedes Benz car is no longer a dream anymore, but it becomes a reality to me! Yes, this is talking about a classic Merc, not the latest models. I have recently bought 2 units of classic Mercedes Benz models, namely W111 & W126.

How i started up with this hobby was purely from watching the astro channel, "Discovery Turbo", also known as channel 734. Many of the car restoration tv programmes are shown in this channel such as "Overhaulin', Wrack the Riches, Wheeler Dealers, etc."

There are plenty of classic car models in Malaysia. Why i chosen Mercedes Benz's classic car to be in my car restoration list? Was it because of its reputation or history? After some researches over the Internet, local workshop visit, & word of mouth, i was told that the parts are easily to source all over whether from local or overseas. Moreover, the parts can be obtained at reasonable price compared to any other America or European car brands such as Chevrolet, Buick, Ford, Jaguar, BMW, MG, Austin, etc.
