The Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka together with Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) organised a Classic Car Forum under the theme ‘A Star Today, A Classic Tomorrow’ for the fourth consecutive year. The forum mainly focused on models manufactured from 1990-2000, which includes the E-Class W124, the S-Class W140, the 1st generation of SLK-Class R170 and the 1st generation CLK –Class C208/C209.
The objective of this forum was to create awareness and establish the importance of Mercedes-Benz Classic cars among enthusiasts of the three-pointed star. Mercedes-Benz is considered as the most valuable luxury automotive brand in the world. Hence many enthusiasts consider restoration or refurbishment of their old Mercedes-Benz Classics as an investment and as a self-fulfilling activity.
Restoring a classic takes time, effort and patience – and has to be done by experts in the industry. As the only authorised distributor in Sri Lanka for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, DIMO is in the forefront of providing expertise and assistance to refurbish classics.
DIMO provides customers with customized service and maintenance packages, genuine spare parts for old cars and discounts on parts and labour. Moreover, DIMO has a dedicated team of experienced specialists, who are well trained by Daimler, to assist in repair and maintenance of classics.
The event, which was held at Dutch Burgher Union (Colombo 4), saw presentations done by the Mercedes-Benz Club as well as the Mercedes-Benz Team on the restoration of classics, while participants too raised their questions and discussed about the issues faced by them. It was an ideal platform to share experiences in association with the three-pointed star.
