Probably the greatest "Q Car" of them all !!!
You are looking at what is undoubtedly one of the nicest Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 saloons available on the market
today.
This beautiful 6.3 has been driven 140,000 miles from new and is in absolutely perfect
running order. It comes with an extensive history file including decades of invoices. Note: Current miles showing
are just over 80,000, although a documented speedometer replacement was carried out 11/12/79 at 59,729 miles. I am
also regularly using the car as it is such fun to drive, so the mileage will increase slightly while the car is
being offered for sale.
This impressive 6.3 is largely original, save for a top quality bare metal repaint performed by marque specialists
Hatch & Sons at a cost of $12,000 in 1990 (invoices in file). The Moss Green paint still looks absolutely beautiful
with only the slightest evidence of age and use. The completely original Cognac interior is in truly remarkable
condition for its age. The leather has a beautiful patina and the cabin has a wonderfully luxurious, gently worn
feel to it.
Recent major service work by a 6.3 specialist included installation of a rebuilt steering box and the complete
overhaul of the air suspension system. The air conditioning system has also been recently serviced and blows cold.
Our Mercedes 6.3 runs and drives beautifully. It has excellent, factory specification compression and oil pressure.
Everything works on this car, including the electric windows, lights, horns, wipers, sunroof - and even the clock,
which keeps perfect time! The heating and cooling controls are in perfect working order, including the often
troublesome heater vent levers which are in perfect condition and operate smoothly.
Compression test results: cold
Right bank # 1 (front) = 142 psi
#2 = 146 psi
#3 = 148 psi
#4 = 148 psi
Left bank # 1 (front) 140 psi
#2 = 147 psi
#3 = 141 psi
#4 = 140 psi
This amazing car cruises effortlessly at very high speed, easily keeping up with modern traffic while wafting along
in imperial style. The factory claimed a 6.3 second 0-60 time and a top speed of 142 MPH. This legendary
performance made the 6.3 the fastest four door sedan in the world for more than two decades, before finally having
that title wrested from its grasp by another S class Mercedes in 1992.
This car is absolutely 100% rust free. It is as dry, straight and rust free a 6.3 as you are ever likely to see.
There is not a grain of rust anywhere beneath the car. The front and rear bumpers were both recently re-chromed and
look beautiful. The doors, bonnet and boot lid all exhibit factory perfect shut lines, and all close with a
resounding clunk that is indicative of the ultra high build quality these cars are famous for. The engine runs
quietly, idles smoothly and pulls like a train.
This is a car that you could fly in and drive home in complete luxury and comfort. In terms of condition, it is at
the upper end of what might be termed a 'very high quality driver'. Although not quite 'show condition', it would
undoubtedly be welcomed at any concours event, whether marque specific or otherwise. It could easily be taken to
the next condition level with a few very minor cosmetic improvements. In terms of mechanical performance, it is
about as good as you are likely to find, at any price.
Note: An original Becker radio is included in the sale. A later model Blaupunkt is currently installed.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
2016 Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid on sale this fall
Mon, Jan 12 2015The Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds and can travel 20 miles in all-electric range. As for the more practical issues related to the new PHEV, well, those details will have to wait a bit longer. The C350 Plug-In Hybrid makes its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The electrified Mercedes will start US sales this fall as a 2016 model. The sedan's four-cylinder, 1.9-liter, turbocharged gasoline engine will be paired with an electric motor that will deliver a combined 275 horsepower. The car will also have such goodies as regenerative braking and collision-avoidance systems, not to mention a top speed of 130 mph. We're still waiting for the car's estimated fuel economy, of course. Not to mention its sticker price. Spy shots of the C-Class PHEV started popping up in May, as well as reports that the Daimler division was testing prototypes in Germany. Meanwhile, this past summer, Mercedes-Benz started taking payments for the S500 Plug-In Hybrid, the German automaker's first production plug-in vehicle. That model, which started European deliveries last September, can zip from 0 to 60 in about five seconds. It also costs about $146,000.
Mercedes-AMG GT3 racing towards Geneva debut
Fri, Feb 13 2015So far, we've only seen the fundamental road-going coupe version of the new Mercedes-AMG GT, but like the Porsche 911 it targets, you can bet there will be more derivatives to follow. And this is our first glimpse at the first of them. At the Geneva Motor Show next month, Mercedes will showcase the GT3-spec racing version of the AMG GT. The German automaker didn't tell us much more in making the announcement, but did release a pair of cropped teaser sketches showing the sports car with all manner of racing appendages, including what looks like a massive rear wing. Once ready for action, the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 will replace the previous SLS AMG GT3 that won the Nurburgring 24-hour race a couple of years back. But with every automaker and its sister company getting in on the GT3 racing action these days, it'll face some stiff competition on the track. The new Mercedes-AMG GT3 February 12, 2015 Neatly coinciding with the upcoming market launch of the road-going version of the Mercedes-AMG GT, the next stage of the vehicle's evolution is already here: the sports car and performance brand of Mercedes-Benz is presenting a new customer sport racing car that complies with FIA GT3 race regulations in the form of the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. With this, the second customer sport car to be developed by Mercedes-AMG, the Affalterbach company is seeking to build on the success of the SLS AMG GT3 and further expand the customer sport programme first started in 2010. The superb racetrack performance of the road-going GT forms the ideal basis on which to model the new Mercedes-AMG GT3, which is due to make its debut appearance at the Geneva Motor Show.
