Mercedes A-Class first gen - Top Gear magazine

[Peter @ TopGear Magazine]

Hi all,

I work for TopGear magazine and I’m trying to find an early first-generation Mercedes A-Class for a photoshoot.

Every issue we write a Progress Report, where we pitch the current version of a car against its earliest (or greatest) iteration. We’re looking for someone with a first-generation A-Class so we can get some pictures and do a compare/contrast of it alongside the current model.

Dates are still to be confirmed – in the first instance I’m just trying to see if I can find one, ideally in/near the Oxfordshire (UK) area. Is there anyone on here who’d be able to help?

Feel free to message me with any questions and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in advance!

Peter

Hello and welcome,

Good luck, I doubt there's many left unfortunately

A customer of mine has a very clean A210, and he would possibly be interested. Manual gearbox, under 60,000 miles.

Spoken to him this morning, he is interested. Closest thing to an ///AMG that they did in the day. Would be some comparison to an A45, that’s for sure
