Germany’s Oldest Street-Legal Car | 1894 Benz Victoria | German Cars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Germany is famous for cars. So it's not really surprising that the oldest street-legal car in the world is a German car. Normally, cars like the 1894 Benz Victoria are confined to the museum. But the 125- year-old horseless carriage was licensed for public roads. A german collector of vintage cars takes it for a drive.

It has an "H" numberplate for "historische Fahrzeuge", historic verhicles, that means the car must not meet all modern regulations but has some liberties.

Funny how people stare at this car in awe and curiosity the same way people did when it first was around during the horse and buggy days of the 1800s.
Even more funny that it's for the opposite reason. Back then, it was the most advanced thing they had ever seen. Now, it's as if you could build it with junk.

Stick shift people gansta until the old man brings out the steering arm.
well its actually still stick shift, it has 2 gears (and one of them is neutral). But you have to be German to understand that, since the translator didnt translate everything.
Lol right
And no reverse so no driving into a parking space. The ultimate antitheft factor for cars.
Michelle Byrom im pretty sure the reverse is probably leaving it in neutral and actually pulling the car backwards yourself

Actually, the speeding ticket was not for going 29 km/h. There were no speed limits back then and there were no handy means to measure or enforce speeds. However, the local police officer found that the manner in which the first owner was going through town violated the traditional Sunday Peace in Germany. The police officer wrote literally this:
"You are herewith inflicted with a penalty of 3 Reichsmark because on yesterday's Sunday you drove through the town of Denzlingen in your Benz motor-horse at such a speed that the window curtains of a pub were fluttering."

It does translate like that. But in germany, the first letters are an abbreviaton of the citys name. Then you can chose between 1-2 additional letters and 1-4 numbers. In this case the "EIN" is the city of "Einbeck" and the "PS" the name of the museum

Planned obsolescence is the way the modern economy works today. Things are NOT built to last as long as they theoretically could, to force you to keep getting new ones.
This car survived 2 World Wars and many generations..
It's something it is but odds are it was abandoned for a very long time (not in use) or it's had significant work done to it just hidden.
They are extremely basic like most of the old older vehicles. Folks didn't drive around much in those days (commonly used for special events) and even folks who had like the old Model T's from 1907? Averaged about 3-5k miles before worn out which was significant for it's time.
Even if it was in use the whole time it averages out to less than a mile per month which would also mean it's at the end of life. Old vehicles like these are special but there is no way this remained functional that whole time. This was most likely a legendary barn find by one of the previous family owners children/great grand children.
Not trying or wanting to downplay the significance but it's most likely one of those vehicles which was made from 20-30 separate vehicles for repairs just like the 1920's vehicles folks build buying it one part of a time.

Jan Engel It was called Daimler Benz instead of Mercedes Benz
Jan Engel Benz merged 1926 with Daimler to the Daimler Benz AG , and the brand name Mercedes was used until then only for cars from Gottlieb Daimler's company. This one was built long before they merged, so it's not a Mercedes, also not a Mercedes Benz, it's only a Benz.
It's a Benz "Viktoria".

That car: **Is still going after 126 years**
Modern cars: "Aight so 7 years has passed, time to break down"
This car is being regularly looked after by a mechanic though. This is a case of the Ship of Theseus. Technically, with the right maintenance, any car can last as long as that one. But the expenses required to keep it working are great after the car has passed its prime, especially for old cars. In fact, that's makes some old cars like this one noteworthy, that's why there aren't that many cars from 1960s and older still around; cars do only last around 10 years usually. In more dry climates, cars last much longer usually, but they all eventually break down without mechanic's attentive care. Big respect to those men keeping the past alive!
@@doigt6590 as a mechanical engineering student I do have to add the more modern consept of calculated redundancy. Basically, in a lot of applications, it is not necessary to make them run for a long time. It is simply cheaper to make a part that will only last about the expected lifetime of the mechanism. This is not exeption for cars. Ironically enough, engineers are only able to be fairly accurate with this in modern times, using computer programs to simulate failing conditions and production methods. This means that in olden times, mechanisms where often over engineered for their function. This is also why older stuff seems more rigid and though. Because it is. But why make it rigid and though, when it will generaly only be used for a certain time, or a different part in the mechanism will fail long before the other parts? It's simply unnecessary. Now combine this with other facts like older mechanisms being generaly bulkier and simpler, and you get very though machines.
Edit: oh and in the past people more often used to fix their own stuf (because it was simpler) but modern mechanisms from cars to coffee machines have become too complicated for the average consumer to fix. Hence instead of fixing something, modern consumers more often just buy a new product.
@never again lol, you actually think that factory owners were morally upright and honest 100+ years ago? How about calling a private police company to come and break up a worker's strike because they wanted safer working conditions and better pay? Or how about the coal company towns that basically enslaved generations of workers by only paying people in company script that could only be used at the company run store? Or how about the railroad company that set up a shell company to charge the US government twice to build 5 miles of railroad on a 2 mile stretch? People can be shitty no matter what generation they were born in
@never again as an engineer I take offense at that little jab. We do our job and we doo it well. Only thing is, we don't make out the specs, we simply adhere to them. We even get paid shit for all the work we put in, as opposed to the "big wigs" that do fuck all.
You’ll find it a lot easier to maintain and fix modern cars with parts availability than 100 years old cars where all parts are custom made.

it's actually pretty easy and telatively cheap to register historic cars. everything older than 30 years and left in either original or at least period correct condition can be registered as an historic car. i think annual vehicle tax is something around 100€ and insurance depends on what you want to have insured, but they start from around 160€ per year.

@@Peter_Schluss-Mit-Lustig But not in cities.
At the rate we're going around here... we'll be back to getting speeding tickets for driving 29kph. Car safety technology has increased tremendously in the past half century, and injuries and fatalities are both down massively, but speed limits haven't changed, except where cities manage to lower them even further.
3020: imagine getting a ticket for traveling a light speed
Well, you could actually get a speeding ticket for going 29 in so-called traffic-calmed areas, where you are required not to exceed pedestrian speed (max. 7 kph).
In case of repeated infringement even revoking the driver's licence may be possible.
That means, that under conditions similar to those in cities at the end of the 19. century (pedestrians, playing children, bicyclists, and other traffic not in separated parts of the street) , very similar rules exist today as for traffic safety and its violation.

That's because it's an incredibly rare car, over 60 years old and even back in the day was ludicrously expensive. So of course it'll be expensive.
In fact, old Mercedes are probably easier to live with than other vintage car, because if you can't find a spare or need your car to be restored, you can actually call up Mercedes and have them take care of it using original parts. Of course this'll be quite expensive, but it means that you can get OEM quality parts for a century old car.
The least expencive car ownership I had for 10 years was a 1991 Mercedes 190E 2.0i (that was already 10 years old when I bought it). Car parts cheep when not baying original and all cost of service much less at Mercedes brand repair shop then the brand new 1993 Opel Astra I had before for 7 years...

That must be the oldest "street legal" car in the world! I hope everyone who saw it in person appreciates the significance of the occasion.
Considering in how many countries motorcars even existed in 1894, there is real chance that this vehicle is indeed the oldest street legal care in the entire world. As far as I could gather, the first motorcar in the US was sold in 1896, etc., so the only country that could even think of competing would be France, and I know of no French car of that era that might be street legal.
Cars were invented in germany, so it would make sense😄
