National Rally <strong>2016</strong><br />
wonderful weekend for<br />
Mercedes-Benz owners<br />
and was a great piece<br />
of teamwork. This<br />
photo was taken on the<br />
Sea Cliff Bridge, where<br />
our Day 2, Kiama drive<br />
was scheduled and<br />
Mark Hertz’s classic<br />
W108 is featured. With<br />
the expertise of Corey<br />
Rankin, club member<br />
and<br />
professional<br />
photographer<br />
and<br />
design input of Sakura<br />
Sky Media, the cover<br />
was born.<br />
Sponsors<br />
Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific were our major<br />
sponsor with a very valuable and generous $10,000.<br />
Oldtimers Centre was significant cash sponsor of the<br />
Rally which we greatly appreciate.<br />
Our trusty club supporters Currans/AutoSalon (Sam<br />
Movizio), Meguiar’s (Peter Prentice) and West <strong>Star</strong> Autos<br />
(Joe Simons) chipped in with products or sponsored items<br />
and John Assarapin and Geoff Hosey made personal<br />
donations. Lesley Strauss conducted a Rocks tour.<br />
Thank you all.<br />
Calendar - Mike Fleming<br />
Mike produced an 18 month calendar of spectacular<br />
Mercedes-Benz Club cars from around Australia. A<br />
picture of a fantastic 1954 green 300S cabriolet in the<br />
Mercedes-Benz museum features on the cover and it runs<br />
from July <strong>2016</strong> to the end of 2017, so it is current.<br />
The Rally calendar was included in the show bag for<br />
all participants, as a collectible souvenir of their time in<br />
Sydney. Rally calendars are available at Club meetings for<br />
$10, or please contact mike.fleming@mbcnsw.org.au to<br />
