AMG Retro Edition from Mercedes-Benz joins in the celebration
Posted on 
To mark its performance division's 45th year of existence, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH has introduced an all-new AMG Retro Edition, a stylish collection of apparel and accessories that commemorates the talented tuning firm's colourful motorsport history
We have seen some very exquisite and exclusive merchandise emerge from the Mercedes-Benz lifestyle department over the years, and while most have showcased very innovative and chic design just like the brand’s countless automobiles on the world streets, the German luxury car maker’s latest AMG Retro Edition is a tad more special as it fashionably traces the very roots of its performance division, Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach (AMG) headquartered at Affalterbach in Germany.
Having recently celebrated its 45th anniversary, this new AMG Retro collection makes a special mention of the tuning firm’s founding year ‘1967’ and the year ‘1971, when it achieved its first ever podium finish at the 24-hour race in Spa-Francorchamps in a 35# number 300 SEL 6.8 red touring car.
Part of this very special collection is a classic white polo shirt made from 100% cotton. A discreet red highlighting on the collar, an inner button placket and on the neck band, and a red stripe on the sleeve cuffs commemorate the first AMG racing car, as do the badges on the sleeves showing the date 1971 and the number 35.
The first AMG logo is printed in silver in 3D on the left-hand side of the chest, with the words "Founded 1967" on the back of the neck. Even the buttons bear the AMG logo. The men's polo shirt is available in sizes S to XXL. To go with the polo shirt there is a cap showing the early version of the AMG logo, the badges "1971" and "35", and the words "Founded 1967".
A fine leather collection made from vintage-look cognac-coloured calfskin is also available and includes a weekend travel bag with sturdy handles, dark-brown cotton lining and base feet, a wallet and a belt.
All of these items feature the same exceptional high-quality leather workmanship, with inserts made from perforated leather, the early version of the AMG logo embossed on the outside and the words "Founded 1967" stamped on the inside. To go with the leather collection there is also a key ring.
A tasteful pin in the form of the AMG heritage logo commemorates the anniversary of the company's establishment. It is made of matt silver-coloured rhodium-plated brass with a patina effect. Completing the AMG Retro Edition is a coffee mug with original racing features from the AMG 300 SEL 6.8 and a set of 2 classic espresso cups with the early version of the AMG logo, both of which come in special gift boxes.
Now available from Mercedes' partners and from the online shop, the AMG Retro Edition from Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is a true salute to AMG’s long standing stature and distinct style.
