The 'Mercedes-Benz' Gazelle, officially registered as a 1926 model and therefore eligible as a classic car (lower road tax and insurance costs) , is a tribute to the legendary Mercedes-Benz SSK, which had its origins in the late 1920s. This tribute is one of a number of kit-built replicas from the early 1980s and 1990s, manufactured by Classic Motor Carriages in Florida, with the aim of making the iconic design of the Mercedes-Benz SSK accessible to classic car enthusiasts.
\r
This Gazelle shines in traditional cream and brown tones, which immediately attracts attention. Chrome accents, rubber side steps and chrome wire wheels all contribute to the car's vintage look. The paint is still in neat condition considering its age, with the exception of some very minor signs of wear.
\r
When entering the interior you are greeted by the 80's cool of the one piece leather comfortable bucket seats, which are still in very good condition. The car is equipped with retro instruments and a wooden steering wheel. In the back there is a matching rear seat, ideal for children or your luggage. The rest of the interior and the dashboard are also in neat condition with light signs of wear here and there, which are expected given its age. The foldable white hood is a throwback to 1929, but in reality it offers a sleek look and good weather protection.
\r
Unlike most Mercedes SSK 1929 tribute cars, this car is not built on a VW chassis, but on a Ford frame. Under the hood is a powerful 2. 3-liter Ford engine with 89 hp, which provides more than enough power for this light car. The result is an exciting driving experience that turns heads and impresses.
