1886 Mercedes Benz Motor Wagon

1886 Mercedes Benz Patent Motor Wagon

This motor wagon is one of very few being offered for sale. It is in excellent condition and has never been started since it was delivered to the Mercedes dealership it came from. Each Mercedes Benz dealer had the chance to own one of these when they were being offered we had 2 of these wagons one of which was sold to a museum a few years back and now the owner has decided to sell the last and final one we have. This wagon was issued by Mercedes Benz, ot to be confused with some of the non-authentic wagons being offered on the market. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a collectors item that was never offered to anyone who was not a Mercedes Benzdealer.
The first stationary gasoline engine developed by Carl Benz was a one-cylinder two-stroke unit which ran for the first time on New Year’s Eve 1879. Benz had so much commercial success with this engine that he was able to devote more time to his dream of creating a lightweight car powered by a gasoline engine, n which the chassis and engine formed a single unit. The major features of the two-seater vehicle, hich was completed in 1885, ere the compact high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine installed horizontally at the rear, he tubular steel frame, he differential and three wire-spoked wheels. The engine output was 0.75 hp (0.55 kW). Details included an automatic intake slide, controlled exhaust valve, igh-voltage electrical vibrator ignition with spark plug, nd water/thermo siphon evaporation cooling.
