Episode 11: The S-Class Down Under: Australia & New Zealand | Mercedes-Benz World Tour
Tom Exton is on a mission to find out where Mercedes-Benz really lives in Australia. And what he discovers is a country where the brand is woven into some truly unexpected places—from private museums to charity bike shops to legendary race cars.
The journey begins with a split: while one S-Class heads to New Zealand to capture stunning highlights from across the country, Tom and two S-Class explore what makes Australia’s Mercedes-Benz community unique. He starts at the world’s largest privately-owned sculpture park at Point Leo Estate, then dives into the remarkable Fox Museum in Melbourne—where we meet Hannah, granddaughter of founder Lindsay Fox, and learn how one of the world’s most impressive car collections came to life.
But Mercedes-Benz isn’t just about luxury here. Tom visits Brainwave Bikes, a non-profit second-hand bike shop that’s been supporting families and children with brain illnesses for 27 years. From iconic Australian landscapes to the stunning Mercedes-Benz Studio in Sydney, everything builds to an unforgettable moment: Tom leads a convoy of over 100 local Mercedes-Benz owners across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The episode culminates at Mount Cotton Racetrack, where Tom meets Andrew Miedecke and his legendary Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 DTM — a perfect full-circle moment connecting heritage to passion.
Meanwhile our crew in New Zealand experience an adventure filled with breathtaking nature, amazing cars and incredible people. A visit we will never forget.
