Description
In 1954, thanks to the innovative efforts of the Daimler-Benz test department, a unique, hand-crafted transporter was born, and its rounded shape has remained unmatched since then. Used by the MB racing department in the 1954/1955 season, the vehicle performed remarkably in the rapid transport of W196 and 300SLR racing cars.
CMC offers an extraordinary collectible item of this car, boasting exceptional quality that combines many functional parts with a faithful reproduction of the car's original charms.
Over the years, the "Blue Wonder" has been one of our best-selling models. This was no surprise, considering its magnificent contour and numerous functional parts. The use of top-quality materials, combined with perfect craftsmanship and a dark blue high-gloss finish, has made this replica a true collectible item, belonging to a special class.
Years have passed since this model sold out, and it's time to fill the void. But instead of offering a remake of the old M-036, we are introducing a new version that includes details and accessories newly discovered from the archives. Among them are chrome wheel hubs, a decorated Mercedes star inlaid at the front, orange auxiliary lights, and stone guards on the rear fenders, not to mention the rear light assembly, the oval national symbol "D" at the back, and loading ramps painted in matte black.
This new offering is certainly overdue for those eagerly seeking the right transporter for their W196 Monoposto and Streamliner, 300 SLR of various types, and Uhlenhaut Coupé!
Blue Wonder
In 1954, the Mercedes-Benz test department developed a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind model — the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter. With its dark blue finish, soft body curves, and a top speed of 170 km/h, the "Blue Wonder" caused as much sensation as the racing cars it carried.
After Daimler-Benz withdrew from racing in 1955, the "Blue Wonder" disappeared from public view and was eventually scrapped in 1967. It wasn't until the early 1990s that Daimler-Benz reminisced about this gem and commissioned the reconstruction of a replica under the supervision of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center to ensure fidelity to the original.
