My Story

I'm Bella Valkhoff, the owner of BelBenz (Pty) Ltd. I’ve been involved in the automotive scene since 2018, working in my dad’s business, Old Merc Guy, selling Mercedes-Benz parts. After gaining experience in the industry, I started BelBenz in January 2024, focusing on classic Mercedes sales.

BelBenz isn’t just a business—it’s a labor of love. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for these cars, I make sure every vehicle I sell is carefully selected, assessed, and prepared to meet high standards of performance and authenticity.

I buy and sell cars myself, focusing on finding the best classics for others to enjoy. While I occasionally handle consignment deals, I prefer working with cars I select personally. I can also assist sellers in Port Elizabeth with photography and writing compelling adverts to help them sell their cars.

When I’m not sourcing and selling classics, you’ll probably find me behind the wheel of my 1984 Mercedes-Benz W123 240D or my 1992 Mazda MX-5 NA. I believe every car tells a story, and I love helping others find their own.

If you're looking for a classic Mercedes that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed, you've come to the right place.
