1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL

28,212 miles

This 1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SL is truly a very rare find !!!

The rare Nautical Blue Exterior finish is show ready and is well complimented by mirror like bright and clear chrome trim all around.

This collector quality vehicle was always garage kept and covered in a climate controlled environment and was never driven in rain or snow.

The OEM "Bundt Style" wheels are nearly flawless, and the vehicle wears matching Michelin tires all around with less than 2k of usage.

All of the vehicles jambs are spotless and the engine bay wears all of its original factory decals and marking and is in show quality condition.

The interior still looks and smells like it did on the showroom floor in 1985.

The leather seats were covered in Genuine Mercedes Benz custom grey seat covers.

The grey leather had been very well preserved and is still very soft and supple and shows no signs of fading.

The vehicles carpets are exceptionally clean with absolutely no stains or tears to disclose, and the veneers on the burl wood trim is like a mirror.

The burl wood trim still has a very deep bright color and shows no sign of fading, and the dashboard is also in perfect condition.

The dials for the gauges are also still very deep and bright orange.

Mechanically the car drives exceptionally tight, like a well maintained low mileage Mercedes should !!!

The car has been dealer serviced since new and everything function 100%.

AC blows ice cold, and both the original Becker head unit and OEM antenna function perfectly.

The vehicle is all original and comes with:

3 Keys

Original Books

Maintenance book

Data Plate

Window Sticker

Pre-Inspection report 1985

First Aid Kit

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
