1886 Benz Patentwagen Replica
This exacting re-creation of the first Benz model was created by John Bentley Engineering in the UK. Considered the most authentic recreation of the first working Benz design, these vehicles were made between 1986 and 1997. This vehicle was constructed in 1990, being one of the earlier of the small production. Bentley and his team were granted access to the original Benz in preparation for the project, and this vehicle is so faithful to the original, that Mercedes Benz acquired a group of cars for their Dealer network. This example was part of the former Donnington Collection in the UK. It was sold to a US collector in 1997 and had remained in his museum until 2019.
The Benz is a magnificent display and ready for a prominent display in any collection. I can arrange enclosed shipping to the new owner. $49,500. or offer
