Of all the great motoring marques, none can have contributed as much to the development of the automobile as did Daimler and Benz - two of the world's oldest car makers.
In naming his Daimler racing cars after his daughter, Mercedes, Austrian diplomat, entrepreneur and racing driver Enul Jellinek cannot have imagined that the name would eclipse those of the foimding fathers of the industry - Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz.
Joining forces in 1926, the new Dain\ler-Benz company combined the three-pointed star and laurel vweath motifs to give the world a new symbol for fine design, precision engineering and speed.
War years were to curtail car production, and yet, phoenix-like, this industrial giant rose from the ashes of war-ravaged Germany to its present position at the forefront of the industry.
This magnificently illustrated book traces the origins of the Daimler-Benz company and examines the automobiles, from the first Benz car of 1886 to the monstrous Grosser Mercedes of pre-war years and the sleek coupés and sports models of today, offering the reader a fascinating insight into the history of one of the world's premier car makers.
