140 YEARS. 140 PLACES. AND NOW… GEORGE!
Something incredibly special has arrived in the Garden Route.
Mercedes-Benz is celebrating 140 years of innovation with an extraordinary global journey — travelling more than 50,000 km across six continents and through 140 destinations. And today, one of those very special destinations is our own George.
Three iconic Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles — Bertha, Carl and Gottlieb — have travelled from Stuttgart through Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and across Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia, before making their way to South Africa.
And now they are here. In George.
It is such an honour for Stanmar Motors Mercedes-Benz George and the Schribantis to be proudly associated with this incredible global celebration and to welcome a piece of Mercedes-Benz history to our community.
From 1886 to 2026.
From Stuttgart to George.
140 years of innovation. 140 places. One extraordinary journey.
We are incredibly proud to see George form part of a story of this magnitude.
Welcome to George, Mercedes-Benz. What a privilege to have you here!
