Pebble Beach 2018: Between the spheres.

Over the past few years, the Legends of Autobahn event in particular, alongside the Carmel parade, the unofficial start of the Monterey Car Week, the classy event The Quail – a Motorsports Gathering – and the final Concours d’Elegance on the closing Sunday, has developed into one of the highlights of the car week. Fans from across the United States come, largely with their own automotive favourites, to the Carmel Valley. There are models to be adored such as a Mercedes-Benz S 123 in top condition alongside a W 124 in junk condition, which over its 826,000 kilometres has already explored a large part of the world – including water crossings in South America and mountain passes in Africa. Where else can you admire a Mercedes-Benz Pagoda with a 6.3-litre V8 or marvel at a mint condition W 126 luxury model?
