Grosse Pointe, Michigan, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY)<\/b>, is delighted to announce the first North American installment in its Global Icons Online Auction Series<\/b>, featuring a limited offering from The Patina Collective.<\/b> This extraordinary group of 40 of the world\u2019s most influential and culturally significant modern Mercedes-Benz automobiles from the marque\u2019s celebrated Youngtimer era will be presented entirely without reserve<\/b>\u2014an exceptional opportunity for new and seasoned collectors alike.<\/p>\n

Well-known in the hobby, The Patina Collective is more than a collection of rare automobiles. The Collective celebrates an era defined by bold design, individuality, and excess, while reflecting a deep-rooted passion for Mercedes-Benz heritage and the preservation of these increasingly rare widebody masterpieces. Broad Arrow\u2019s exceptional limited offering from The Patina Collective presents collectors with a rare opportunity to acquire some of the most distinctive and era-defining Mercedes-Benz automobiles ever produced, including many seldom-seen non-U.S. market models.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are not your traditional Mercedes-Benz collector cars or even your typical AMG collectibles,\u201d says William Cooper, Car Specialist for Broad Arrow Auctions<\/b>. \u201cOur offering from The Patina Collective represents an era of wild design and true excess coupled with incredible performance. The group speaks to an emerging market for a new generation of car collectors who are after the most unique and eclectic cars from the 1980s and 1990s, a group of cars that have earned a longstanding cult following and that are now coming into their own as true collectibles. The Patina Collective has an incredible reputation for assembling rare, high-quality finds and Broad Arrow\u2019s online auction offers the chance to acquire these cars with confidence in their provenance, with importation complete, and entirely without reserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Highlights from Broad Arrow\u2019s 40-car offering from The Patina Collective are led by:<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500 E AMG 6.0 (Estimate: $150,000 – $180,000 | Offered Without Reserve)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

This rare precursor to the later E 60 AMG reflects AMG\u2019s early development philosophy before its full integration into Mercedes-Benz. Finished in \u201ctriple-black\u201d Black (040) over Black leather and featuring body-colored 17-inch AMG Aero I wheels and Recaro front seats, this pre-merger AMG is powered by a 6.0-liter AMG-built \u201cM119\u201d V8, stamped and certified by AMG. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including the original bill of sale, AMG order form, German registration documents, service records, and an AMG Classic Conversion Confirmation verifying period Affalterbach modifications.<\/p>\n

\n 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500 E Limited Prototype (Estimate: $100,000 – $150,000 | Offered Without Reserve)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

As one of the earliest known physical embodiments of the\u00a0500 E\u00a0Limited concept program, this example offered by Broad Arrow occupies a singular position within Mercedes-Benz development history, directly bridging internal design validation and the eventual production E 500 Limited series. Constructed as a factory exhibition vehicle with option code 994 for the 1993 Frankfurt IAA Motor Show, this prototype was built for early evaluation of the \u201cLimited\u201d concept. It boasts the distinctive two-tone Black and Green\u00a0patterned\u00a0leather interior,\u00a0EVO II wheels, and birds eye maple trim combination that\u00a0became\u00a0code 286\u00a0and is equipped with the full executive specification including memory seats, power rear sunshade, Becker MB\u00a0Exquisit\u00a0audio with CD changer, D-Net telephone, and\u00a0more. Offered with 68,578 kilometers (approximately 42,500 miles), this is the original essence of a \u201cwolf in sheep\u2019s clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC ABC-Exclusive Widebody (Estimate: $55,000 – $60,000 | Offered Without Reserve)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

This is a well-preserved example of the unapologetic opulence that defined the 1980s. With ABC Exclusive bodykit-equipped Mercedes remaining unicorns to encounter, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one such example enriched by a host of bespoke period touches, a striking factory color combination, and detailed maintenance history from new. Finished in factory correct Barolo Red over a Palomino leather interior and fitted with signature Gotti wheels, Recaro C seats, and more, this 560 SEC ABC-Exclusive Widebody is powered by the 5.5-liter V8, Mercedes\u2019 most powerful powerplant in the U.S. in period.<\/p>\n

\n 1995 Mercedes-Benz E 36 AMG Touring (Estimate: $50,000 – $55,000 | Offered Without Reserve)<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

This is a final-year example of the S124, believed to be one of 30 upgraded to E 36 AMG specification in 1995. Powered by an AMG enhanced 3.6-liter M104 inline-six,\u00a0the car retains its correct AMG-stamped engine block and rare “3.6” intake plenum mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The E 36 is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Black leather with ASD, heated Sportline seats, rear-facing third-row jump seat and air conditioning, while additional AMG featured include a body kit, 17-inch Aero I Sport multi-piece wheels, and a 280 km\/h AMG speedometer. Among the rarest and most charismatic AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benz\u00a0tourings\u00a0of the era, this E36 AMG\u00a0Touring\u00a0offers a compelling blend of performance, practicality, and exclusivity. With its documented history, authentic AMG drivetrain, and\u00a0final model year production, it\u00a0stands as a highly desirable example\u00a0from\u00a0AMG’s golden age.\u00a0<\/p>\n
