I drove a historic car, a Benz Velo (Velocipede), year 1896 

I was driving a car that is over 120 years old! In 1894, Benz began producing the world's first production car. This succeeded the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motorwagen. By 1902, more than 1,200 were produced. This one, owned by Christoph Schmidt, is still in running condition, which is extremely rare. A few of us members of the Mercedes-Benz Club were incredibly lucky to be able to drive this original car even a little - with the owner's help, of course. Thank you very much, Mr. Schmidt!
