About Mercedes-Benz Club of NSW<br />
Dear readers,<br />
As custodians of the Mercedes-<br />
Benz brand in NSW, our Club<br />
is a not for profit organisation<br />
run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts<br />
of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, with<br />
support from dealerships.<br />
The Mercedes-Benz Club of NSW<br />
was founded on January 29th 1972<br />
at East Linfield by a group of nine<br />
enthusiasts sharing a common<br />
interest in this wonderful marque,<br />
and was incorporated under the<br />
NSW Associations Act in 1990.<br />
The first Club event was a picnic<br />
held on a Sunday, 6th February<br />
1972. Our Club is a member of the<br />
Mercedes-Benz Club Management,<br />
established to promote and assist<br />
Mercedes-Benz Clubs globally.<br />
Today, our members and the<br />
Club have grown to include<br />
drive days, social events, tours,<br />
technical workshops, cocktail<br />
functions, dealer events and our<br />
prestige annual Concours d’Elegance<br />
in September.<br />
Our Club members are owners and<br />
admirers of all types of Mercedes-<br />
Benz vehicles, from vintage models<br />
circa 1915, through all the classic<br />
vehicles in the 1940s, 50’s and 60’s<br />
right up to today’s high performance<br />
Mercedes-AMG cars.<br />
As well as running our own NSW<br />
based events, we are involved with<br />
other Mercedes-Benz Clubs across<br />
Australia, holding exciting interstate<br />
tours and events for members.<br />
The Mercedes-Benz Club National<br />
Rally is held in a host capital city<br />
every two years, where interstate<br />
Club members gather for a week of<br />
Mercedes-Benz social, car events,<br />
tours and car displays. This year<br />
it was our turn to host it in Sydney,<br />
which turned out to be a very<br />
successful and enjoyable event.<br />
Our website mbcnsw.org.au is<br />
being upgraded to include modern<br />
Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-<br />
AMG information and events. If you<br />
own a Mercedes-AMG, please come<br />
forward and provide support for the<br />
Club with these vehicles, as we need<br />
to connect with new members with<br />
these cars through digital media.<br />
We post to facebook.com/<br />
mercedes.nswclub.<br />
Our Club is a fun, friendly,<br />
knowledgeable and entertaining<br />
place to enjoy together with your<br />
modern or classic Mercedes-Benz.<br />
We welcome new members and<br />
look forward to seeing you and our<br />
existing members throughout the<br />
year at various fun events and social<br />
functions. Please join us and enjoy.<br />
Yours sincerely<br />
Mercedes-Benz Club of NSW<br />
