Vintage: Shanghai Auto Museum | Drive it!
Mercedes Benz is celebrating its 130th birthday. Automotive museums around the world are showing the long history of the automobile. Mathis Kurrat takes us on a tour of the Shanghai Auto Museum in Shanghai, which has one of the legendary 130-year-old Benz cars. Mathis wonders where the Chinese cars might be. Wherever he looks he sees European and Ameican vehicles from every decade. Big riverboats from the US, little sports convertibles from Britain, and even cars made in China's arch-rival, Japan. Finally he finds cars designed and built in China, like the Shanghai SH 7221.

LEADIN:
Classic cars in the shadow of the Great Wall of China are taking part in the country''s first 1,000 cross-country rally.
European classics by Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce and the Austin Healey are some of the vehicles taking part in the event.
STORYLINE:
Rolling along the red carpet outside the Great Wall of China.
But these priceless classics aren''t locked away as museum pieces, they''re taking part in a 1,000 mile rally across China.
The cars start at the Great Wall outside Beijing and will travel through Tianjin, Jinan, Xuzhou before finishing in Shanghai.
And the old cars attract attention wherever they go.
China is one of the world''s fastest growing markets for luxury cars, with industry analysts estimating the market could grow by as much as 35 per cent in 2011.
Newly rich Chinese buy the luxury cars - primarily from Europe - as symbols of their new wealth.
Arguably China is the centre of the automobile world - in 2009 it became the world''s largest car producer, surpassing both Japan and the US. China produces nearly 20 million cars each year.
And as the country produces more new cars, so its interest in the cars of yesteryear develops.
Hou Xiaoming, a classic car rally driver, has brought along his 1929 Austin Seven Sport.
This 747cc, aluminium bodied, two-seater sports car was capable of 50mph in its hey-day, a figure most of today''s family runarounds could exceed in second gear.
Xiaoming has lovingly restored his car and takes great care of it.

China's Classic Car Challenge Kicks Off In Beijing's Great Wall
Over 50 vintage cars were lined up near a section of the Great Wall in China on Saturday (October 12) to take part in the Classic Car Challenge.
The 1,800 kilometre (1118.47 miles) non-competitive drive, which features vintage cars from more than 20 countries, will take them through parts of eastern coastal China such as Tianjin and Qingdao before reaching their destination of Shanghai, China's commercial hub. The drive is expected to last six days.
This marks the second consecutive year it has been held in China.
The vintage cars received a lot of attention from crowds of Chinese tourists who posed next to the parked vintage cars before their departure.
One driver of a 1972 Volkswagen, German national Alexander Falkt felt it was important to maintain traditions with vintage cars.
It's my first time in China, and I'm deeply impressed about the country and the Great Wall, and I think it's very important that there a lot of traditions with great old cars, and a car culture for the Chinese market, said Falkt from his driver's seat.
Another challenge driver, Gean Leblanc said it was a unique event.
I think it's fun. It's not normal because it's something new, very old cars, classic cars, but it's something new in China. And I think it's attracting a lot of the general people, everybody, everywhere, Leblanc, the driver of a vintage Porsche said.
One tourist really enjoyed seeing the vintage vehicles.
They're really great. Really great. Right now there are none of these kinds of cars. They're really aren't. To buy one of these I estimate would definitely not be cheap. But even spending a lot would not even buy one. It's great. That's my feeling, said 54 year-old Zhang You, a tourist from central Shanxi province.
The challenge started at 1030am local time (0230GMT) with a range of vintage models participating from Russian jeeps to Mercedes.
The drive is sponsored by the International Federation of Historic Vehicles (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) and Classic Vehicle Union of China.

9. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Wang Jinming, manager of Beijing Old Items Exhibition:
Imagine if for one year we travel abroad they show us some old objects that come from China, but we don't know what they are, then this is a failure to pass on Chinese history and culture to the future generations. Although these objects all look quite old and shabby, they record real history.

Beijing has become an international cultural metropolis but in some ways it still lags behind, I mean you don't have the wealth of institutions, of cultural institutions that you do in other great capital cities so to some extent these private museums end up filling that gap by creating these kind of pockets of weirdness and eccentricity.

1960s Beijing, market and street scenes
Personal collections become private museums
(3 Apr 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4030074
LEAD IN:
Private museums run by eccentric and passionate owners dot Beijing's backstreets and its suburbs.
Their collections are grand and mundane, from items salvaged from the rubbish to a car in which Mao Zedong rode.
Entering these private museums gives visitors a different experience of Beijing and its recent history.
STORY-LINE:
A red door in a Beijing alleyway leads to a treasure trove of bric-a-brac.
Kettles, teapots and a pancake maker form part of the collection of Wang Jinming's private museum.
Wang is the co-founder of the Beijing Old Items Exhibition, a 40-square-metre room packed with hundreds of objects that people used at home or in the street from the 1900s to the 1970s.
He delights in telling visitors to guess what the objects are in their hands.
Needle holders, a pancake maker, a wooden tool street vendors used to attract attention. They all form part of the collection built up by Wang and two co-founders since the 1980s.
Picking up a metal bell shaped like a donut, he explains that Beijing didn't used to have so many big hospitals, so doctors would walk the streets ringing the bell to signal that they were available.
What is this? This is a handbell. It is also called hucheng. This is very hard and very loud. What is this bell used for? Many years ago Beijing didn't have so many big hospitals. When someone is ill at home, but no hospital to go, what to do? Wait for the bell, he says.
His enthusiasm for what may seem like mundane objects is infectious, including this pancake maker.
Put the dough inside and bang! Close it and it cooks immediately. If you replace this (the long handle) with an electrical cable it becomes an electric pancake maker. At that time there was no electricity, but today there is. You still need to use heat to cook the food, he tells visitors.
Although these objects all look quite old and shabby, they record real history, he adds.
One young visitor 12 year old Feng Shuo is impressed.
I think these things are really interesting, I've never seen them before. In my grandma's home I've seen some quite old objects. Having seen these things I think the people in the past are really smart to create these things.
As China has become richer, some wealthy Chinese have invested in Chinese art and started private museums as a way to show off their wealth or nationalist pride.
Some private museums have billionaires or banks behind them. Others are run by people who had a hobby that developed into a calling.
State museums have one purpose: to educate and legitimise the ruling Communist Party through history.
The capital's private museums are born from their founders' hobbies, obsessions, and then a sense of duty to keep alive a little bit of history that to others may not seem so important.
Luo Wenyou cheaply sold off his three businesses, a karting track, a transport company and a garage, to start his vintage car museum.
The impetus came when he attended a car rally in northern China in 1998 and saw his Red Flag car was the only Chinese car in it.
His cars have stories. One is a car Mao rode in, another belonged to former President Liu Shaoqi that Luo found buried in an overgrown patch of grass.
It still has broken windows from when Liu fell out of favour with Mao and was pursued by Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
We can see this car's windows are broken. During the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards smashed it with hammers because this car's owner was Liu Shaoqi, so this car has gone through the same horrible experience that Liu Shaoqi did, says Luo.
Even if one person comes we will open, even though the entrance fee won't cover the electricity, he says.

SCRIPT
No doubt it''s on the list of what''s hot at the Beijing auto show -- a dragon-themed Jeep.
The model, unveiled by Chrysler, illustrates how many automakers are making a special effort to attract Chinese buyers in what''s now the world''s biggest vehicle market, in terms of numbers sold.
Ford was premiering its latest SUV, to be made at the company''s main factory in China in Chongqing (chongching), one of many new things in the production pipeline...
SOT
Foreign firms still dominate, but domestic ones are pressing ahead.
BYD company, China''s second largest homegrown brand, had engines on display, as well as an electric sedan.
And China''s Geely was showing off a taxi modeled on the classic London style.
The competition for market share is especially fierce now that sales growth has slowed dramatically in the country.
But analysts figure the Chinese companies will hold their own there in the future.

CHINA: BEIJING: INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW
Mandarin/Nat
China's love affair with the automobile is just beginning.
At Tuesday's International Automobile Show in Beijing, car fans came to look at sleek new models from some of the world's biggest manufacturers.
Car manufacturers will do just about anything to get their cars noticed in the Chinese market.
Even Peking Opera actors got into the act, bringing old Beijing and the modern commercial reality together.
At this week's International Automobile Show, which opened on Tuesday in Beijing, catching the visitor's eye seemed to be the main idea.
With almost one human model for every car model on display and more circulating through the exhibition hall, visitors had to wonder exactly what the focus of the show was.
However China's growing number of car enthusiasts were there for horsepower and burning rubber, not leggy models.
And more were there to buy than ever before.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
I'll see what my economic situation is. If I'm doing well, I'll buy a better car. Most likely, I'll buy a car between ten and twenty thousand yuan.(1200 - 1400 U-S dollars)
SUPER CAPTION: Mr. Lin
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
We're very interested in the progress of automobiles now. I want to buy a car, so I came to have a look.'
SUPER CAPTION: Mr. Wang
Owning a personal or family car is still only a dream for most Chinese.
Even a low-end Chinese brand can cost ten thousand yuan (1200 U-S dollars), more than the average worker makes in a year.
Despite a growing number of car exhibitions in China and increased investment by foreign manufacturers, it is well-known that for now, auto shows are still for lookers, not buyers.
However, international car giants are hoping that China's next generation will be ready and waiting to buy cars when they grow up.
Chinese car buyers don't have the tradition of kicking tires just yet, but they enthusiastically look under the hood and check to see that moving parts operate properly.
One young show-goer can't wait to get behind the wheel for real.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
'The cars here, they're beautiful, really good-looking. I really like cars. Here they have foreign cars, Chinese cars, imported, every kind. My father came because he uses his car for work, I came because I really love them.
SUPER CAPTION: Master JIN
In Beijing, one thousand new cars hit the road every month, adding to both traffic and pollution problems that are already major concerns.
Once known for being a nation that moved on bicycles, China's bike lanes may soon disappear as roads are widened to accommodate more cars.
Until car prices drop or salaries increase, this little hot rod may be as close to the real thing as aspiring Chinese drivers will get.
