About the Mercedes 2-Liter #10 C. Werner Targa Florio 1924 CMC 1:18

TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 2-Liter reproduces Christian Werner's 1924 Targa Florio-winning car #10. Used model, box shows traces of storage, casting itself unaffected. Multi-part metal construction with opening panels reveals mechanical detail from one of Mercedes's most significant early competition victories.

A 1924 Sicilian road race victory is a genuinely early landmark for Mercedes's motorsport history, and CMC's replica handles that pre-war subject with the same mechanical seriousness it applies to later racers.

Multi-Part Diecast Construction on a 1920s Racer

Building this model from hundreds of individually fitted metal parts rather than a single die-cast shell lets CMC expose the exposed mechanical layout typical of a 1920s grand prix racer, from external exhaust piping to open cockpit detail. That construction brings genuine heft in the hand and access panels that open onto engine and chassis detail a sealed body could never reveal. The paintwork holds Mercedes's traditional racing white finish evenly, though as this is a used model, some honest handling wear should be expected and checked on arrival. Panel and access-point tolerances run slightly wider than a hand-finished resin casting would allow, a fair trade for the mechanical accuracy on display underneath. The box shows traces of storage, ordinary wear that stops at the packaging.

Targa Florio Heritage and Collecting Context

Christian Werner's win in the 1924 Targa Florio, driving over Sicily's demanding mountain roads, stands among Mercedes's earliest significant competition results and predates the marque's better-known 1930s Silver Arrows era by more than a decade. A model built around that result gives a pre-war Mercedes shelf real depth beyond the more commonly reproduced grand prix subjects. At 1:18, the narrow, open-cockpit body of a 1920s racer takes up modest shelf depth compared with a closed saloon, making several fit comfortably in a cabinet devoted to early motorsport. CMC's hand-built tier sits well above mass-market diecast, and a used example at this level, honestly disclosed, rewards a collector interested in genuinely early Mercedes competition history rather than the more familiar post-war subjects.
