Summary

[edit]
Description

1903 Mercedes 60hp German This 60hp 9.2 litre Mercedes was brought from Germany by its first owner, Alfred Harmsworth (later Lord Northcliffe). It is believed only five 60hp Mercedes remain in the world. It competed in the Nice speed trials in France and was later a reserve for the 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup race in Ireland. Whilst there, it won a hill climb at Castlewellan. The original two-seater body was later replaced by the present one. It was one of the fastest cars of its day and like many of the period it features chain, rather than shaft drive. Cylinders: 4 Price New: £1800 (chassis only) Capacity: 9236cc Maximum Speed: 75mph Manufacturer: Daimler Motoren Gesellshaft, Bad Cannstatt Owner: Mrs A. Harmsworth

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
