“Konrad” The 300D
Long known for their technical innovation and pursuit of engineering excellence in addition to Luxuriously-appointed interiors, Daimler Benz created some of the world’s most beautiful cars in the 1950s. The 300D was no exception, of which “Konrad” is a fine example. I have named him after the Famous German Chancillor “Konrad Adenauer”, who owned 6 of these ‘300’ limousines throughout his decade-long tenure. He loved them, and it’s easy to see why – they truly are a magnificent super-car of their day, fit for a statesman, and came fitted with independent rear suspension, and later on had Mechanical Fuel injection and power steering giving them superlative performance, even compared with Arch-Rival Rolls Royce. It is because of this link that they became known as the “adenauer mercedes”, and they were placed at the very top of the already exclusive Daimler-Benz passenger vehicle hierarchy during the 1951-1962 period. 3 matching cars available

“Ponty” The 220A Sedan
Konrad the 300D is really in a class of his own, and was the flagship model offered by Mercedes-Benz back in the day, a grandfather to the legendary ‘600’ Grosser that followed, which was THE choice of Dictators & Despots; basically the best production car one could buy; But that’s not to say Ponty is some ordinary ‘shopping trolley’. This car is a formidable luxury sedan of the day, which also had performance and prestige. As such he makes a perfect partner car to Konrad, or you may admire his styling in preference. A pleasure to drive – silky smooth 6 cylinder motor and gear box, as opposed to Konrad’s advanced automatic transmission, he really is comfortable, classy & a real “goer” too!. A true gentleman’s sports saloon you might say.

Tim is amazing! He was on time and a great person to work with. We had some changes on the day and he was so happy in accommodating those changes. The cars were also beautiful and its really evident that he is very passionate on taking care of them and knows so much on the history.

Tim was easy to deal with and arrived on time with the vehicle looking immaculate and he was dressed in a suit. He drove my bridesmaids as I was in the other car and they all had a great time. The old style cars added a classic element to the day. Can highly recommend!

Below is a blog of real-life wedding stories as well as some background information of what goes on behind the scenes of a chauffeur company to make your Big Day special! It’s a lot more than suiting up & jumping in!
Epic Road Trip – ACB is born
It’s March 14th, 2022, and I’m collecting some Mercedes Benz beauties so I can launch “Adelaide Classic Benz”. Ponty is pictured behind Konrad. I picked Ponty up from Old Timer Garage in Brisbane – so its been a long trip I have to say. Then Konrad was purchased from Mario in Melbourne. My Isuzu truck has not skipped a beat but it needed filling up at Ballan, on the way to Ballarat. Then on to Adelaide. Its been an epic trip. One of many classic car pilgrimages.
Another Adenaueur Benz
It’s September 15th 2022. I have just collected another super rare Adenaueur 300d Mercedes Benz from Melbourne’s top wedding car provider (Triple R Luxury car Hire) which is no longer operating. Check out the beautiful backdrop as I take the scenic route through Dunkeld near the Grampians VIC. This place is magical and one of my favourite spots to visit. I recall planning & leading a 5-day hiking expedition back in my high school days through the mountains here, as part of the Duke of Edinburghs Award Scheme. Back when I was fit!
Alexandra & Peter
Its February 11th 2023 and Ponty the 220a Has paired up with Shad’s (the father of the bride) Ponton mercedes to make for a grand entrance on Victoria Avenue, in Adelaide’s Prestigious suburb of Unley Park. After some pics in the beautiful gardens, and live entertainment with traditional Greek Dance, the couple Alexandra and Peter were married in an Orthodox Church in the city CBD. Oozing charm and class, this wedding had a fun and relaxed atmosphere and the weather was simply divine.
Some Memorable Weddings
We love our classic cars, and we love weddings. Making your Big day extra special is our main focus and drive at Adelaide Classic Benz
Bill & Jane
It was a sunny but mild day on the 1st October 2022, when this lovely couple tied the knot in a quaint little chapel near scenic Hahndorf, in the Adelaide Hills.
Afterward they had an intimate photo session (just the newly-weds) on a nearby property which featured a lake and manicured gardens adjoining a historic character home.
We are happy to provide transport in any #adelaidehillswedding or #clarevalley wedding for that matter
Car – Konrad the adenaueur Mercedes
Brookvilla Glasshouse Weddings
A shout out to Christine who has spent a great deal of money and countless hours planting her manicured gardens and restoring her villa near Hahndorf.
A couple can capture their special moments by the lake or next to the fountain which is reminiscent of old world England, and rivals any botanical garden!
Lovely Little Flower Girls
I love this shot I snapped in November at the wedding of Funmi & Mark @silvestris_clarendon where it was a very stormy and rainy beginning – I recall I made many trips back and forth with the big umbrella assisting bridal party and guests alike to escape the rain as they entered this classy reception venue. Aren’t the bridesmaids cute?! – a future generation of brides-to-be.
