Galle Face Hotel hosted a forum for Mercedes-Benz classic car enthusiasts. The forum was organised by the Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka and sponsored by DIMO.
This initial forum concentrated on owners that own models from 170V up to W123 and W126. The forum was organised to facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience, and to provide insightful information to owners of classics with regards to restoration and maintenance of the more time-honoured models of the Mercedes-Benz marque. Speaking at the event Sidath Fernando, President – Mercedes-Benz Club of Sri Lanka said, “the Mercedes-Benz Club has brought about this initiative, which we hope will assist classic enthusiasts to preserve these wonderfully older models of the three-pointed star and retain the nostalgia of the good old days for future generations to enjoy. Eventually, the Club will be looking at developing a website with a fully searchable technical library and other useful information”.
Tharanga Gunawardena, General Manager – Mercedes-Benz Service did a presentation on the role DIMO can play in restoration and sourcing of genuine parts as the authorised distributor for Mercedes-Benz in Sri Lanka. He went on to mention the advantages of restoring MB classics through DIMO and why expert care and knowhow is paramount in such restorations. He introduced special full body paint packages, service packages, star polish and nano sealant packages for classics from DIMO.
