The Mercedes-Benz C-Class: a symbol of German excellence
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has represented the prestigious German brand's entry-level luxury sedan segment for decades. First launched in 1982 as the 190, it quickly conquered the European market thanks to its perfect balance of performance, comfort, and reliability.
This compact sedan stands out with its sleek, elegant lines , characteristic of Mercedes-Benz design. Equipped with powerful engines and a particularly balanced chassis, the C-Class has managed to hold its own against Bavarian competition, notably the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
The commercial success of the C-Class is well established: it is one of the best-selling models in the Mercedes-Benz range and continues to evolve technologically while retaining the unique DNA that has made the brand's reputation.
Mercedes-Benz: the star's legacy
Founded in 1926 through the merger of Daimler and Benz, Mercedes-Benz has embodied German automotive excellence for nearly a century. The brand with the star revolutionized the automotive industry from its inception, notably with the invention of the modern automobile by Karl Benz in 1886.
During the development of the C-Class, Mercedes-Benz was going through a pivotal period in its history. The 1980s marked the brand's entry into a new era, that of the democratization of German luxury . The strategy was to offer accessible vehicles without sacrificing the quality and prestige associated with the star.
This philosophy has enabled Mercedes-Benz to conquer new markets while preserving its image as a premium manufacturer . Today, the brand continues to innovate in the fields of electrification and autonomous driving, while maintaining its core values of quality and elegance.
The anecdote of the indestructible taxi
One of the most memorable stories about the Mercedes-Benz C-Class involves a Greek taxi that traveled over 4.6 million kilometers with the same engine. This vehicle, driven by Gregorios Sachinidis, entered the Guinness Book of Records and spectacularly demonstrates the legendary robustness of Mercedes-Benz mechanics.
This technical feat is not an isolated case. In many countries, Mercedes-Benz C-Classes are used as taxis due to their exceptional reliability. In Germany, it is not uncommon to come across Mercedes taxis with several hundred thousand kilometers on the odometer, still in perfect working order.
This reputation for exceptional longevity has helped forge the Mercedes-Benz myth. C-Class owners regularly testify to vehicles that have survived the decades without fail, passed down from generation to generation like true family heirlooms.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
