SAGA Classic was honoured to participate in the Mercedes-Benz Classic Partner Summit 2025, a significant international event held at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. This event brought together over 100 participants from 55 Classic Partners representing 16 countries.
This exclusive gathering provided an ideal setting for valuable and inspiring discussions between European partners and the international Mercedes-Benz Classic team. Participants reflected on the future of the Classic Partner network together, discussing the availability of spare parts in particular, as well as the essential role of heritage in automotive distribution today and tomorrow.
A particular highlight was the moving encounter with Jutta Benz, the great-granddaughter of Karl Benz, who delivered a passionate speech about the history of the original tricycle — a symbol of the early days of the automobile. Guests also enjoyed an exclusive tour of the museum's storerooms — the famous 'Holy Halls' — where legendary models such as the Mercedes-Benz C111 are housed alongside the latest orange AMG GT.
This summit also marked an important milestone for SAGA Classic Belgium.
Stéphane De Smedt officially received Mercedes-Benz Classic certification in recognition of the professionalism and commitment of our Belgian team in preserving the brand's automotive heritage.
This momentous occasion was shared with members of the SAGA Classic team: Pauline Chareunphol and Bruno Bétus (SAGA Classic France), Franck Fagot and Frédéric Provost (Provost Automobile), as well as Thomas Benoist. We are united by the values of passion, excellence and heritage that drive our company.
The event fully embodies the spirit of Mercedes-Benz Classic, combining heritage, innovation and passion to breathe life into the history of the star.
