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