Edo, Not enough to tell, as a long time M-B owner, 1962-2012, I would say that it is a badge from a 1998 to 2002. Do a Goggle search for Mercedes Benz. org, they should know the answer. Hope you are well, Best, Chuck Nacke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Harry Harrison Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I suspect that it fits a lot of different models, looks the same as this one on ebay. If you take a quick snap of the registration number you can look it up on the DVLA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Malcolm Park Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’ve owned six mercs from 1980s through to 2016, my C class estate (2012 model) had this badge type on the hood (but no star). It appeares also on early E class cars (see image HPTB14) but my later E class models discarded it in favour of the three point standing star only.

Thanks. And thanks to all you car enthusiasts. It's a toss up for me — do I know less about flowers or high-end autos? I find them both beautiful and mysterious.

0 wiskerke Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It certainly was present with the exact same background on Vito and Viano Vans of the previous model. Don't know about the current one, the V-class. 1000logos gives the date as 1933-current. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
