Mercedes-Benz World will be celebrating its first birthday this weekend, and you’re invited.
Although officially the anniversary was last week, it’ll be this Saturday and Sunday (3-4 November) that the festivities take place.
Stirling Moss will be going down to Surrey to collect the keys to his new Smart and sign autographs, they’ll be a free prize draw to win passenger rides in the SLR or with the Silver Arrows display team, and Mercedes’ AMG and off-road courses will be available for a birthday price of £15. There will also be lots of birthday cake, and having sampled some we can say it’s very rich, but very good.
Peter O’ Halloran, the managing director of Mercedes-Benz World said ‘Our first birthday is a very special milestone for us and we want to celebrate it with as many people as possible’.
Based at Brooklands, Mercedes has a long history with the historic circuit: the winner of the inaugural race drove a Mercedes. So far 306,698 guests have visited Mercedes-Benz World. The celebrations start at 10am this Saturday, and entry is free.
