Here is a opportunity for a Mercedes-Benz lover to purchase a very nice specimen of the Porsche built 500E. This car has been proudly owned by only two people and has has the best of service and has been for the last 10 years always stored in a climate controlled garage. The car has spent its life in Southern California and Texas. I'm fairly sure that the first owner also kept it well. After 10 years of ownership I have decided to auction her at the upcoming Mecum Houston. The car will be auctioned on Friday morning April 5th Lot F20. Please check the Mecum site for information. The car has a very low reserve and will sell. Mecum has my signed title in hand and I am listing it here in hopes that a fellow enthusiast looking for a nice 500E might check out this car as there are not very many 500E's left in this condition.
I purchased this 1992 Mercedes 500E car from William Shatner of Los Angeles in 2003. Mr. Shatner purchased the car new in 1992 and he personally owned it until the time I bought it. At the time of my purchase it had 66,000 miles and was in very good condition. Mr Shatner was kind enough to sign the underside of the front arm rest and took a final picture of himself with the car in front of his L.A. home. Me being both a Porsche nut and a car nut had always wanted to own one of these incredible machines and bought the best example I could find at the time. My intent was to keep the car for as long as I was able to drive and spared no expense to maintain and repair anything that needed repair. I have always insisted that only oem Mercedes parts be used for repairs, for example even the battery in the trunk is the correct oem Mercedes one. Recent repairs of late, performed by Park Place Mercedes of Dallas, include a transmission rebuild and new ARS/ABS pump. The brake rotors, pads, and Michelin tires are near new. The wheels are oem Mercedes Evo II 17" that were used on the 500E limited models. The car functions very well and is a beast, uses no oil, has no leaks, all electric items work, the wood has no cracks, the leather interior with the exception of light wear on the driver's seat looks new.
I have a two inch binder for examination of all the repairs on the car including what I believe are all or most all of the records from Mr. Shatner. Three years ago I had the car repainted and had all of the trim and rubber bits replaced. I repainted the car as it has some dings and scratches and there was talk of the EPA banning solvent car paints such as the original Glasurit product that was used. The paint used is exactly the same paint originally used. This work was performed by Stewart's Body Shop of Dallas and to this day the car looks like it did when it rolled out the factory in 1992. I added Hella euro headlamps that are film protected. These model correct headlamps use a leaded glass lens and the lighting power at night is just amazing.
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea of the caliber of this car. I'm hoping that she will end up in good hands and I know she will is going to make someone a very happy person for years to come!

Mercedes raises the roof on new CLA Shooting Brake [UPDATE]
Tue, Nov 25 2014UPDATE: As we feared, the CLA Shooting Brake is not currently slated for US availability. The text below has been adjusted accordingly. Of all the variants in Mercedes' smallest line, only one doesn't have a liftgate, and that's the CLA-Class. But don't worry, the German automaker is out to fix that too with the reveal of the new CLA Shooting Brake you see here. Based on the same platform that underpins the CLA four-door coupe, the A-Class hatchback, B-Class minivan and GLA crossover, the new Shooting Brake applies a similar formula we've already seen on the bigger CLS Shooting Brake but in a much smaller form – which is to say, it's a wagon, but a shapely one. The revised roofline means more headroom in the back seat and significantly more cargo capacity than the four-door's trunk. Mercedes will offer the CLA with a variety of engine choices, including a 2.1-liter turbodiesel with either 136 or 177 horsepower, a 1.6-liter four with 122, 156 or 211 horsepower. That last model will even be available with 4Matic all-wheel drive for those not enamored by the idea of a front-drive Benz, but the top of the range, of course, is the CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake that carries the same 2.0-liter turbo four – all 360 horsepower of it – as the four-door CLA45 as well as the A45 and GLA45. Driving once again to all four wheels, Daimler says it'll reach 62 in 4.7 seconds (even quicker than the crossover) and top out at the usual 155 miles per hour. Of course those options only apply to markets where the new Shooting Brake will be offered. And unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz USA confirmed to Autoblog that (like the CLS wagon) the CLA Shooting Brake won't be making the transatlantic voyage to US showrooms (where the E-Class is the only low-slung Benz wagon on offer). That leaves the four-door CLA and the GLA crossover still holding down the pint-sized fort for Mercedes. THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE: SPACE FOR SOMETHING NEW Stuttgart. Breathtakingly sporty proportions and a powerfully dynamic design idiom with sensuously shaped surfaces already made the CLA unmistakable in its four-door Coupe guise. It is now followed by a further design icon, the CLA Shooting Brake, with a unique look all of its own. The lower overall height and the elongated coupe-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile.
Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid ready for 'major role' in urban areas
Fri, Jan 17 2014We finally got a clear look at the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but it took until this week to learn what the vision (see what we did there) is that Mercedes-Benz has for the PHEV. Despite it's generous size, Mercedes thinks this is a vehicle that will work well in urban areas. Speaking to members of the media during the Detroit Auto Show, Thomas Weber, Daimler AG management board member and research and development chief for Mercedes-Benz cars, said that the S500 PHEV, "will play a major role in congested areas" and that it will offer "a lot of driving pleasure." Part of that pleasure will come from a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of around 5.5 seconds thanks to a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor. The PHEV also has a 19-mile EV range, which will put it at the bottom end of the Three-Pointed star plug-in lineup. The upcoming C-Class plug-in, for example, will likely go, "closer to 50 km [31 miles]," Weber said, according to Green Car Reports. The S500 PHEV will go on sale in Europe later this year and will come to the US in early 2015 but there is no timeline, yet, for the C-Class plug-in (and the standard gas-electric hybrid version) or the even-more-future E-Class hybrids.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
