Though it might not seem like it sometimes, you don’t need a crazy amount of money. Or much money at all. Our buddy Bryce can attest to that; especially when it got so much attention on Larry’s IG page among all the usual high-end machinery that usually resides there. What’s better than flogging an ‘82 diesel Mercedes in the desert, especially when the whole thing costs less than a wild night out in Vegas.

In the 70s/80s A few world rallies Mercedes entered and won 1-2: The London-Sydney Marathon - a 19,000 mile car killer, and the Around The Americas, another 19,000 mile on and offroad bash through 10 not-always-developed countries. They entered C107s and W123 coupes. A decade before that Swedish rally girls Ewy Rosqvist and Ursula Wirth were winning and setting new records with their W111. A decade before that it was the Carrera Panamericana in Mexico with a W194. I know I'm missing a bunch, but MB has a long history of bashing rough ground .
