140 Years of Automobile HISTORY

100 YEARS of MERCEDES-BENZ
The companies created by automobile pioneers Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler merged in 1926 to form Daimler-Benz AG. Yorkshire Elegance will showcase many classic early Mercedes-Benz vehicles to celebrate 100 years of the iconic marque.
100 YEARS of MASERATI
Maserati was founded in December 1914 by six Brothers, passionate about engineering. They initially produced spark plugs. Alfieri, Bindo, and Ernesto built 2-litre Grand Prix cars for Diatto.
In 1926, Diatto suspended the production of race cars, leading to the creation of the first Maserati, the “Tipo 26” and the founding of the Maserati marque. A Tipo 26, driven by Alfieri, won the 1926 Targa Florio.
100 BUGATTI TYPE-35 & TYPE-37
The 8-Cylinder Type-35 is widely regarded as the most successful race car in history with over 2000 race wins. A Type-35 won the Grand Prix World Championship in 1926.
Bugatti launched the Type 35C in 1926 – the first time a Supercharger was used increasing power to 128BHP, in a car that weighed just 750kg.
The Type-37, also introduced in 1926, utilised the same chassis as the 35, but featured a smaller 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engine, deemed more manageable and easier to maintain for the privateer.
