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.

Mercedes-Benz USA considering moving south
Wed, Dec 17 2014Mercedes-Benz may be a German automaker first and foremost, but it's a global operation. Among its many offices around the world, the company employs some 800 staffers at its US headquarters in New Jersey. But that office could be moving down South in the near future. According to reports in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and Automotive News, Mercedes is looking into relocating its American head office from Montvale, NJ, where it's been based since 1972, to one of several locations under consideration below the Mason-Dixon line. Among the front-runners is Atlanta, where Porsche bases its North American operations. The presence of a trained workforce, necessary infrastructure, compliant officials and proximity to a major hub for international air traffic could make the Georgian metropolis an attractive proposition for Mercedes. Several locations in North Carolina are also said to be under consideration, as well. Either way, MBUSA's relocation to the South would put it closer to its assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, and to the Port of Brunswick near Savannah from which it ships out those vehicles made in Alabama to points overseas. The relocation project is reportedly being handled by commercial real-estate firm JLL Inc, which is helping Toyota handle its relocation from southern California and Ohio to Texas. Sources don't expect, however, for New Jersey to let Mercedes go without a fight. The state's Grow NJ Assistance Program could offer MBUSA an attractive incentives package to stay in Montvale. The company previously planned in 1998 to relocate to Pearl River, NY, but ultimately ended up staying in Jersey.

2015 Monaco F1 Grand Prix race recap [spoilers]
Mon, May 25 2015Lewis Hamilton came to Monaco with a new three-year deal with Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a vow to not let anything, including any "mistakes" by teammate Nico Rosberg, stand in the way of his best qualifying effort. Mercedes reportedly made it rain with a 100-million-pound deal, and Hamilton made it rain right back with his first pole position at Monaco. Rosberg did make a mistake but this time it was behind Hamilton, which meant he stuffed-up the qualifying attempts of rival drivers like Sebastian Vettel. So Rosberg starts second, 0.342 behind Hamilton but 0.449 ahead of Vettel in the Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo thinks he should have been third, but a communication error with his engineers left him in the wrong engine setting for his final hot lap, so by the very first corner he'd lost the time he would have needed to get higher than fourth on the grid. The second Infiniti Red Bull Racing of Daniil Kvyat slots in behind him, ahead of the second Ferrari of Kimi "Not A Very Happy Day" Raikkonen, who just can't get it going lately. Sergio Perez did for the Sahara Force India what the car can't do on its own, which is grab a top-ten qualifying spot. Toro Rosso rookie Carlos Sainz had qualified eighth but missed a call to the weigh bridge, so he's been slapped into the pit lane. Pastor Maldonado in the Lotus inherits his eighth place, ahead of rookie Max Verstappen in the second Toro Rosso, and Jenson Button in the McLaren. Button only got up there because of two penalties: for Sainz, and Romain Grosjean who had qualified 11th but took a penalty for a gearbox change. Want to know how hard it is to do better on race day than in qualifying at Monaco? Even the never-say-die Fernando Alonso said, "Monte Carlo is a train of cars on Sunday, the race finishes on Saturday afternoon." Well obviously, he didn't take Max Verstappen's seek-and-destroy tactics into account. The young Dutchman had made passing look like a real option in Monaco, getting past Maldonado at St. Devote on Lap 7 after a bit of argy-bargy on Lap 6, then taking advantage of blue flags to slink past teammate Carlos Sainz and Williams driver Valtteri Bottas while hiding in Sebastian Vettel's slipstream. He tried the same move on Romain Grosjean on Lap 65, but Grosjean locked him out. Verstappen lined up the Lotus driver over the following laps, then looked like he slipped to the inside at St.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
