Product Details

Benz MotorWagon was a two-seater, one-cylinder, two-stroke Car which ran for the first time on New Year's Eve 1879.

Dimensions: 140 cm wide x 280 cm depth x 170 cm high

Without her husband's knowledge, Benz's daring wife Bertha, and their two sons embarked on the first long-distance journey in automotive history on an August day in 1888. The route took them from Mannheim to Pforzheim, her place of birth. With this journey of 180 kilometers including the return trip Bertha Benz demonstrated the practicality of the motor vehicle to the entire world.

This is a faithful reproduction with the clever edition of hidden electric motors to drive the car and turn the motor for film friendly use. A tow jig and seat only set is also available.

Only available with a chaperone who will happily drive in costume.

The Week One rental cost, quoted above, is charged each week for the first two weeks. It then halves each week until it falls to 10% of the Week One cost. This is charged for each subsequent week.

Delivery and collection is an additional charge, with the option to arrange your own (pickup and return) at no cost.
