@Jeansschwimmer And the story behind the Mercedes name is the Austrian foreign minister of the early 1900's Emil Jellinek. He was very into cars and was going to sell Daimler cars in Spain I think. For some reason he couldnt sell cars under the Daimler name(or was it race them?) so he named after his daughter Adriana Manuela Ramona Jellinek, nicknamed Mercedes.

@TheANNALEAGH Ask a chap in the small town of Bordesholm in Germany who built one for himself from the original plans and the spiceman in the Munich Museum.

according to traffic law in Germany you can drive whatever it is without any lights and licenses as long as you do not exceed 4 mph, the Benz tricyle does 10 mph, but the local policemen look away when he puffes along the streets of his hometown.

He is an interesting chap, retired car mechanic.

@KapteinOpel To make it even weirder: Both men never met!! Daimler was a trained gunsmith who went into engineering in his later life and died much earlier than Benz ( in 1900 I think). His first car was indeed a converted horse-drawn carriage where he put one of his motors in. He even experimented with a motorboat ( on display in the German Museum in Munich).

Benz's tricycle was indeed a steel frame designedfor and around the engine, and came a year before Daimler's car.

@MirceaD28 the orginal is in the german museum in munich.

@MirceaD28 Of course, it is not the original Patent Motorwagen #1. The original Patent Motorwagen #1 has been disassembled by Benz himself to make Patent Motorwagen #2 and later #3 out of its parts. Several Replicas were manufactured. The oldest known one is from 1903, small series were made in 1936 and between 1986 and 1997 (the latter by Bentley engineering, U.K.).  The Patent Motorwagen shown in this clip is one of the Bentley engineering replicas.
