1973 Mercedes-benz 350SE

Here is a nice example of a classic W116 bodied Benz.  This lovely 350SE has been in my possesion since 2009 and before that it was in the possesion of the same family who brought it over from Germany some 20 years ago where they also owned it!  The car comes with a clean carproof report, is lien free, with Ontario registration, the original books and brochure.  If you are looking for a 100-point collector car or trailer queen then this is not for you.  This is a good, solid driver with approx. 202,000 well loved KM.  The car has some minor surface spots but the body is very, very solid.  This is NOT a rust bucket by any means.  The windows, molding and trim is all there and complete.  The interior is also very nice and clean with no major rips or cracks.  The previous owner wanted a spolier on the back which was very unappealing and so I took it off.  This spoiler left 4 holes in the trunk lid unfortunatly. Other than that, the car runs and drive very good with no major smoke or leaks.  I have had it around our dealership as a centerpiece for years and have enjoy a couple great drives in it.  But it is time for it to go.  Will not need much for a safety as per my techs, who also gave this SE two thumbs up on the undercarage and overall condition.  I will gladly do the Ontario safety certifcation on this old classic at the right offer.  As for the etest there are no worries as it's a 73.  The car is in storage at my residence over the winter months.  If you are serious and want to view it please call or email.

This auction is set up too receive offers only.  reasonable offers only please.  Have all funds, questions asked, inspections done PRIOR to making an offer.  I watch all offers carefully so please only bid if you are serious are are taking this car 100%.  In the meantime if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to message me or call.  I have been a very reliable seller since 2001 on eBay which can easily be seen in my extensive feedback (Also see username "vsr.automobiles").  I also can arrange shipping anywhere with very good rates.  I am a registered Ontario and therefore applicable taxes do apply. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

Mercedes-Benz working on S-Class EV in accelerated green car lineup?

Mon, Mar 10 2014

With Mercedes-Benz bringing out coupe and plug-in hybrid versions of its S-Class sedan, the German automaker just may follow through with a battery-electric variant as well. That's what the company's Uwe Ernstberger told the folks at Top Gear during the Geneva Motor Show. And while he noted the company still needs to work in a larger-than-usual battery pack and was less than specific with details, he did envision an all-electric S-Class "in the future." Of course, rumors started bubbling about an EV S-Class as far back as 2011, so we'll see. Christian Bokich, department manager for product and technology communications for Mercedes-Benz USA, would not confirm anything about an electric S-Class, but he did give AutoblogGreen an official rundown of MB's upcoming green cars in the US, starting with the launch of the all-electric B-Class ED in July of this year in the ZEV states (launch details for other states are TBA, he said). An S-Class plug-in hybrid is coming in the first half of 2015, followed by a C-Class PHEV closer towards the end of that year in the USA. There is also a C-Class four-cylinder BlueTEC coming at some point in 2016. Until we get more concrete information about the possible S-Class EV, let's review what we know about the PHEV. Last September, Mercedes-Benz started showing off the plug-in hybrid S-Class, saying that it could go as far as 19 miles on electric power alone and had a preliminary fuel efficiency rating of more than 78 miles per gallon, using the more lenient European driving cycle. Earlier this week, Mercedes showed off its S-Class Coupe. That model's US version will have a twin-turbocharged V8 that kicks in 449 horsepower, a few more than the presumptive S-Class EV will have. Ernstberger also said Mercedes would join the ranks of automakers offering autonomous driving systems and mentioned the S-Class as being at the "top of the movement." He held his tongue when asked about the possibility of an S-Class cabriolet.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
