1957 Mercedes Benz 190SL Convertible 

Extremely Rare Factory Strawberry Over Camel Leather

Concours Grade 

Many Photos Below Description

Used as Hagerty Insurance Display Vehicle at Several Events

The Mercedes Benz 190SL is one of the most attractive European vehicles of it’s time. As the 190SL came in a various amount of color options, there are a few that stand out the most. The particular Strawberry Metallic color choice is certainly one to talk about. From 1955 to 1963, less than 26,000 190SLs were produced and only a hand full, less than 50, left the line with the rare color combination of Strawberry Metallic (DB 5430) over Camel Leather. Today, nearly 60 years later, it is few and far between to locate a Strawberry Metallic 190SL, especially with the Camel Leather interior in perfect running condition.

Furthermore, this 1957 Mercedes Benz 190SL is prime example of an excellent matching numbers historic vehicle. With a very detailed restoration completed in 2005, with receipts and write ups attached, gives this 190SL an even more rare sight to see. This vehicle comes with a very extensive list of service records and restoration invoices. As well as a complete tool kit with the spare tire sitting properly in the trunk. In the glove box you will find the owner’s manual. The chrome bumpers and trim show a true mirror finished with no defects to be found. As you move underneath the vehicle you can see the flawless under body with solid exhaust piping running from front to back. As you open the door and step into the drivers seat you first take notice to the most desired Camel leather covering the top of the dash and all the way around to the cushion below. There is nothing more exciting than turning the key to a 1957 Mercedes Benz and hearing it start up right away. Pop the front bonnet and have a peak at the immaculate engine bay. The engine runs just as it did coming off the line 57 years ago. Freshly installed are Weber carburetors which were much more desired by customers in years after production. Not to be alarmed though, the original Solex carburetors are cleaned up & packed in a box which will be included with the vehicle.  As you get in the car to drive you can clearly feel the true quality of this 190SL. This vehicle retains the original steering wheel to make the vehicle that much more special, not refurbished or replaced in 57 years! This spectacular example makes for the perfect Sunny Sunday Driver as all lights and signals are in proper working order or the cruiser to and from the Concours.

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

2016 Italian Grand Prix race recap

Mon, Sep 5 2016

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza is called the Temple of Power. Furthermore, the winning driver in Italy started on pole in 13 of the last 16 years, and only one driver in that time has won the Italian GP from behind the front row of the grid: Rubens Barrichello in 2002 and 2009. By this point in the current Formula 1 season (era?) we know what it means when a track emphasizes both power and pole position: Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows locked out the front row with Lewis Hamilton on pole. A poor start prevented the Briton from capitalizing on the advantage, so teammate Nico Rosberg and four other drivers swept by him before the end of the second turn. Mercedes would later say a clutch issue caused Hamilton's botched start, but that didn't help the man who'd just fallen to sixth place. Rosberg got about two laps of television coverage on his way to an unbothered victory ahead of Hamilton. Ferrari made Hamilton's second-place finish easier by sticking to a two-stop strategy; both Mercedes drivers pitted once. We aren't sure why Ferrari didn't at least attempt a one-stopper once Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen had been gifted second and third on track. A pit stop took about 23 seconds from entry to exit and Vettel finished third, six seconds behind Hamilton. Raikkonen finished fourth, another seven seconds behind Vettel. Perhaps the Scuderia's tire usage wouldn't allow longer stints, but we'll never know. Daniel Ricciardo wielded his Red Bull like a scalpel to make an impeccable pass on Valtteri Bottas in the Williams and take fifth place. Ricciardo, trailing another Italian province behind, somehow closed the gap on Bottas in just the braking zone of Turn 1, pulling alongside near the apex without locking a wheel on entry nor running wide on exit. Bottas claimed sixth ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez in the Force India, Felipe Massa in the second Williams, and Nico Hulkenberg in the second Force India sealing the top ten. Monza did spring a few on-track surprises. Esteban Gutierrez drove Haas F1 into Q3 for the first time this season, the Mexican setting the sixth-best time in Q2. Manor Racing planned for Monza all season, Pascal Wehrlein repaying the effort by qualifying 13th. Fernando Alonso pitted his McLaren on Lap 50 of the 53-lap race for a set of super soft Pirellis, then set the fastest lap. It's Honda's first fastest lap since 1992. The biggest moments happened off the track.

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
