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!

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.

Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Mercedes-Benz's AMG division entered new territory in late 2013 with the launch of the CLA45, an all-wheel-drive sedan (with front-wheel-drive underpinnings) motivated by a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. But it wasn't any old turbo-four – the boosted 2.0-liter powerplant claimed the title of most powerful production four-cylinder engine. From behind the wheel, we loved its turbo-heavy antics and steer-it-with-the-throttle dynamics. Now, Mercedes offers the GLA-Class – a small crossover based on that CLA architecture. And rather than just leave it alone in GLA250 guise, the AMG folks created the tiny-tough GLA45 high-riding hatch you see here. It's got the same 355-horsepower, 332-pound-feet turbo-four underhood, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a unique sound that's unlike anything you might expect from a small CUV. That's why we took to some of our favorite backroads to capture another Autoblog Unplugged video with the GLA45. There's no talking, no music, no rizzle-razzle – just shots of the GLA45 driving down our favorite winding roads with nothing but the sweet, throaty sounds of the AMG powerplant. Good luck holding back your giggles when you hear the braaap of a quick gear-change. Mercedes-Benz Crossover Luxury Performance Videos mercedes gla-class mercedes gla45 amg
