CLASSIC 
1956 Mercedes 190SL

I bought this classic Mercedes in January 2001 from a gentleman in New Jersey. It had had a "minor restoration" by the prior owner. The prior owner also confirmed that the engine is original to the car. Before I bought it, the carburetor system was rebuilt, and a brake booster was added. It also got a new distributor, a new clutch, new fuel tank, new rear shocks, and a re-built starter.

Since I bought it twelve years ago, it has been meticulously maintained by Sehmi Motors in Los Angeles, which specializes in classic MB's. They have the maintenance history and can answer any additional questions about the car. She starts every time, and runs and drives beautifully. The transmission is incredibly smooth, it handles like a dream and sounds incredible even when idling!

It was in fantastic shape when I bought it, but nonetheless, I had my restorer do the following as soon as it arrived in Los Angeles: 
 
* Rewired starter button (it had been by-passed)
* Replaced king pins and bushings
* Replaced tie rod end assembly
* New gaskets
* New windshield
* Replaced door seals and window channels
* Replaced the clock with an original "winder" from a 1956 190
* Re-mounted the carburetor

During my 12 years of light use, It has been meticulously maintained by my restorer, and he has performed the following work:

* Replaced ignition points
* Generator
* Voltage regulator
* Updated hoses
* Updated wiring and wiring harness
* Updated emergency brake lever mechanism
* 4 new tires (they have a few thousand miles on them, but appear like new.)

There's very little wrong with the car that I'm aware of, except the door locks may not work reliably (I never keep the top up, so I never thought about fixing them.) Also, there are a few small cosmetic imperfections, but frankly they're not easy to spot.

I've collected classic cars for 20 years, and the Mercedes 190SL is my absolute favorite! If you've never been around an early 190SL you will be stunned at it's simple beauty and elegance. The only real hassle in driving it, is answering questions at every stoplight! I'm selling this and another classic MB convertible because sadly my doctor doesn't allow me in the sun anymore. But I would love for someone else to enjoy it now that summer is here!

Car2go introduces four-seat Mercedes B-Class vehicles

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Easily identified by its huge fleet of blue-and-white Smart Fortwos in cities around the world, Daimler's Car2go car sharing service is growing in Canada – both in the number of vehicles and the doors that they have. For the first time in North America, the company is renting a model with a usable backseat thanks to a new pilot program bringing 75 examples of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class to Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. The point of adding these hatchbacks to the ranks is to offer an option for those seeking more than the paltry room that the ForTwo offers. Car2Go imagines people using the B-Class to haul extra people in the back or just for the added cargo space. The vehicles wear the same blue-and-white look as the rest of the fleet, but they're specially identified for users in the smartphone app. Best of all, for this pilot program, their rental cost is the same 41 cents per minute as the tinier Smarts. The car sharing service has already started testing the waters of offering the B-Class in Germany. Its Car2Go Black pilot program was announced last year and placed 100 of the hatchbacks in both Berlin and Hamburg. car2go Just Got A Lot More Spacious Carsharing Leader Introduces Four-Door Vehicles For The First Time In North America AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 28, 2015 /CNW/ -- car2go N.A., LLC, the market leader for one-way carsharing in Canada, announced today that car2go will be introducing 75 four-door vehicles to its fleet in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

Cigarette Racing unveils the AMG GT S-inspired 50-foot Marauder

Sat, Feb 14 2015

The Cigarette Racing stand at the Miami Boat Show this morning hosted the latest in the eight-year collaboration between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing: the AMG GT S parked next to the fast-boat it inspired, the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S Concept. The vinyl ester resin and fiberglass go-fast boat is more than a matching Solarbeam yellow paint job with the coupe that inspired it. Like other carmakers who have partnered with companies outside the industry - such as Nissan's recent tie-up with NASA - there's an exchange of technology involved; Cigarette said that working with AMG on composites and bonding helped them drop 1,000 pounds off the Marauder GT S Concept compared to the standard Marauder twin-engine, which comes in at 14,200 pounds. Customers who order standard Marauders can request the weight reduction (for a price), but we were told that unless they plan to spend most of their time above 100 miles per hour, the extra weight contributes to a smoother ride. Mercedes head designer Gordon Wagener penned the exterior paint job and worked with Cigarette to design the cockpit trim, which would have seen him in familiar surroundings: Cigarette Racing owner Skip Braver is a long-time AMG customer, and the boat company based its bespoke department on the AMG Design Studio in Affalterbach. Every one of its boats is handbuilt in its factory in Opa-locka, Florida using some of the same processes seen in automaking, like bar codes to track the progress of hulls and components, computer controlled paint samples with digital files that can be sent around the world for matching, and doing all the stitching in-house to keep tabs on quality control. The engine compartment holds two, nine-liter, four-valve, DOHC, quad-cam, twin-turbocharged Mercury Racing engines with all-aluminum blocks, each one of them good for an electronically-limited 1,550 pound-feet of torque, and either 1,350 horsepower or 1,550 horsepower depending on whether you run regular 91-octane fuel or 116-octane race fuel. So yes, that's 3,100 hp and 3,100 lb-ft at once, if you go all out. Mercury says they're the most powerful powerful emissions-certified gas-powered marine engines you can buy. The engines don't have knock sensors, though, so you have to turn a key to register the kind of fuel you're putting in, and you can switch from one to the other when two 150-gallon tanks are down to 10-percent full.

Mercedes-AMG planning more hardcore A45 hot hatch

Mon, Nov 24 2014

The launch of the A45 AMG marked Mercedes-Benz's first real assault on the premium hot hatch segment. And with 355 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbo four, it is indeed hot. But the latest word has it that Mercedes-AMG is planning an even hotter version. Speaking with Auto Express at the LA Auto Show last week, AMG boss Tobias Moers indicated that his department was toying with the idea of a more hardcore version of the A45. In what Moers referred to as a "street fighter," the A45's engine would be tuned to produce even more power, the cabin stripped out and the rolling stock, brakes and aero upgraded for more serious performance. Think of it, then, as something of a Black Series approach, only it's not expected to carry that name, which has historically been reserved specifically for two-door models. Given AMG's current list of priorities and limited manpower, though, Moers suggests it will be several years – likely towards the end of the model's life cycle – before it may prepare such a model, following a similar formula to the Mini JCW GP and Renaultsport Megane R26.R. Here's hoping an American version based on the CLA could also be in the cards.
