9781837330249 980x1024 - The Spirit of Mercedes Book

A dynamic exploration of Mercedes, one of the world’s foremost car brands, with lively photography and witty observations about why we love them.

Karl Benz, who founded Mercedes Benz, invented the first car. So, since 1879, Mercedes Benz has been at the forefront of innovation. With their superior quality, sleek look and iconic three-pointed star logo (with the points representing land, sea and air), it’s a car brand with true global power and recognition. It
has produced some of the fastest cars in the world, such as the 2022 Mercedes-AMG One Hybrid model, which can reach speeds of 219 mph.

This fun and fascinating book, written by car-enthusiast and Mercedes owner Vaughan Grylls, is a tour de force through the history of Mercedes as told by its cars. From the world’s first car, the Benz Patent Motor Car, to the most expensive car ever sold, the

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, the story of Mercedes is a long and fascinating one, and is described in this book alongside a stunning range of photography.

The ideal gift for every car enthusiast, whether they’re a Mercedes aficionado or just an admirer.

Vaughan Grylls is a photographer, author and artist. His photography has been shown in the Photographers’ Gallery, Whitechapel Art Gallery. Vaughan has also written Spirit of Volvo, Spirit of VW, Spirit of Saab, and Spirit of BMW. He lives in London and Kent.
