1971 MERCEDES-BENZ 280SL VIN: 11304412021974 THERE OVER 80 HUGE IMAGES OF THIS STUNNING CAR SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a gleaming 1971 MERCEDES-BENZ 280SL roadster. This was the last year that this body style was produced and as such it is usually considered the most desirable. These 113 bodied cars were affectionately referred to as "Pagodas" because of the dipped roof design of the hardtops that most of these cars were delivered with. The exterior is painted in a beautiful bright DB-917 Aqua Blue color and the interior is fitted in dark blue leather seats with complimentary vinyl and carpeting. The car is equipped with most of the amenities that were available on these models in that year, including the optional hard top with rear window defroster. The car starts right up, drives like a new car and it exhibits no gremlins or operational problems of any kind. The rebuilt engine has about 10,000 miles on it, and the transmission was done as well. The brakes have all been done. It drives and performs amazingly well with no smoke, rattles, wind noise or other distractions. This Mercedes-Benz was delivered new from the factory with both hard and soft tops. The headliner of the hardtop is in good shape, and with the exception of a small left and right pinch penetration near the rear edge of the soft top, the canvas inside and out is very good. The right front fender has had some minor body work done, but the hood is original assuring that the damage wasn't extensive. At some point early in the cars life the color was changed for reasons one can only speculate about. The result is professional and the car presents a good looking high quality finish. The exterior and interior of this car is very straight and super clean. The low mileage is legitimate and the current owner has been in possession of the car since 1979! During his ownership, the car was never driven in the rain or any other inclement weather. This is a currently registered and driven vehicle that recently passed the rigid safety inspection in the state of New York. There is an abundance of additional general information about these Mercedes Benzes on the internet if you are looking for more technical data or performance details. We didn't want to bog you down with useless information, considering that most of the people looking at this car will know much more about it than we do. The few nits that we were able to pick is a very short list indeed. There are a few VERY minor blemishes in the finish (no dents or rust) and there is no body filler of any kind that was detected. Everything mechanical and electronic works as designed including the clock, glove compartment light and the original Mercedes- Benz radio. The matching Michelin white wall tires are good and have lots of tread remaining, but they are older and should probably be replaced prior to any long trip, in our opinion. The interior is all new and looks great, only the door panels are original. The dash top has a few cracks present in the vinyl. The trunk is tidy and very factory looking and so is the engine compartment. We have the original books, owner's manual and data plate which is extremely scarce and nice to have as part of the package. As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. All the pictures were just taken and we have shots from many angles including the exterior (both tops on and top down), engine bay, interior, trunk and undercarriage. If you study our clear multiple images very carefully, you will see exactly what this gorgeous Mercedes-Benz 280SL roadster is all about. It comes with a full set of protective floor mats, including the rear trunk area, original keys and the owner's manual. There is a factory full size spare tire, jack and tools. The clear multiple images of this fantastic 1971 Mercedes-Benz roadster, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and market value of this vehicle than our words ever could.

Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials
Mon, Jan 19 2015At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is business class without the jet lag
Thu, Nov 21 2019Mercedes-AMG demonstrated how sporty a mammoth SUV can be by unveiling the 2021 GLS 63 S at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Across the Pacific, at the Guangzhou auto show in China, Mercedes-Maybach revealed another GLS variant that puts an unabashed focus on comfort. The 2021 GLS 600 ends years of rumors by finally taking Maybach into the SUV segment. (If you don't count the limited-edition G 650 Landaulet). It's not a standalone model developed from the ground up, and it's in no way related to the electric Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept introduced in 2018. It's a second-generation GLS dressed up in a Hugo Boss suit. Stylists spruced up the front end with Maybach's chromed waterfall grille and mesh inserts in the lower part of the bumper. An abundance of chrome trim (including big slabs of it in on the B-pillars) and Maybach emblems on the D-pillars further set the SUV apart from its non-Maybach-badged sibling. Buyers can order a two-tone paint job at an extra cost. 6.8-foot-long running boards automatically extend from under the body about a second after one of the passengers opens a door. Designers took advantage of the cavernous interior to replace the second- and third-row seats with a pair of business class-like chairs that offer heated, ventilated, massaging and reclining functions. Maybach developed the GLS with chauffeur-driven buyers in mind, so the passengers traveling in the back benefit from their own infotainment system with wireless headphones, folding tablets, wireless device chargers, plus heated and cooled cupholders. Alternatively, buyers can order the GLS as a five-seater with a three-person rear bench. The GLS 600 receives the twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine that's omnipresent in the Mercedes range. It delivers 550 horsepower from 6,000 to 6,500 rpm and 538 pound-feet of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm in this application, and it spins the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes pegs its zero-to-60-mph time at 4.8 seconds. The standard 48-volt mild hybrid system briefly gives the GLS 600 an additional 21 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It also sends the kinetic energy it recuperates to the battery pack while braking or coasting, and powers a technology named E-Active Body Control which scans the road ahead and adjusts the suspension as needed if it detects a pothole, a bump or another obstacle.
