Palm Springs, California, United States

1987 Mercedes 560SL for sale Amazing and gorgeous example of an extremely original 560sl. Original Ivory paint over Palomino interior, factory soft top with crystal clear windows and hard top too. So you know I'm legit and not some spam posting, you can look me up on the web and see my picture and footage of me as well. Go to the well known site IMDB (International Movie Data Base) and put in Dean England. That is who you will be speaking to on the phone and you or your transport company will be meeting to get the Mercedes. If you have little or no ebay feedback, please contact me before the end of the auction to confirm your identity as well. Purchased new and gently enjoyed between San Diego (Escondido) and Palm Springs (Indian Wells) for many years. Then she has lived amongst collectors in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. Her last visit to the dealership was at Mercedes of Encino at 76.022 miles in November of 2011. Clean car fax and receipts document the mileage that is about 78,000 now. You will see on the car fax she has passed every California smog check, most recently on 4/15/2014. Factory books stamped by the dealer to the mileage of about 51k. Extremely high gloss on the original ivory paint is fantastic. Pampered to the fullest from new, including the factory rims chromed (including the spare), hand painted pinstripes and upgraded wood shifter and steering wheel as well as back seats with seat belts, all as they'd do for a substantial extra expense back in the day. Interior is fantastic. There are no dash cracks, tears or damage inside. Ashtray never used. Also at great expense, an upgraded in dash Mercedes CD stereo was purchased at and installed by the Mercedes dealer so it is the correct brand for the car and not some odd looking after market unit. It fits right into the original opening. The speakers in the dash were upgraded as well. Though again, nothing has been cut and no other areas in the Mercedes are cut for speakers as too often is the case in these cars. Dealer receipt included. The Mercedes dealership also upgraded/retrofitted the Air Conditioning system to run on the R134 refrigerant and it blows nice and cold. The soft top is the original, yes original, with all the Mercedes emblems embossed in the crystal clear plastic windows. You can tell the car has seen very little sun or bad weather as the interior wood is not cracking, the soft top is not torn or faded and neither are the windows to it and the body to the car is spectacular. Even the outside rubber in the chrome side moldings are not sun faded or worn. The rubber is just as smooth on the top facing the sun as it is on the bottom. She just got a brand new battery. The metal battery box clamps that are too often broken off are all good. This happens because sometimes people cram in a cheaper battery that doesn't fit right and then try to clamp it down anyway. Not the case here. She starts right up, shifts smoothly. I can email video of her running. I just don't know how to post that on Ebay. When the headlights are turned on, that one small dash light is on that suggests a bulb is burned out. Yet, all blinkers, back up lights, parking lights etc are working. Sometimes this light can come on if an incorrect bulb (even if it works) was put in. I haven't looked into this to see if that's the case. Also, there is the typical small bit of play in the steering wheel when in the 12 o'clock position. This is the 560sl to put into your care if you are looking for original quality that is only going up in value because of its extreme originality along with dealer maintenance over the years and low mileage. Even the the lighted sun visors work and are not cracked or brittle or faded. I have the right to end this auction early in case I reach a deal with someone before the end of auction. If you'd like, feel free to email me your best offer. If it works for both of us I will let you know. I will then add a "Buy it Now" to the auction and you can purchase the 560sl with the buy it now feature. Otherwise, I'll see where it goes. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
Hollywood stars drink hydrogen B-Class F-Cell emission water in Death Valley [UPDATE]
Tue, Feb 4 2014A plug-in electric vehicle can be used to power a house during a winter storm, but if you're more worried about the heat of, say, Death Valley, then maybe you'll want a Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell along. That's the message of a new video from Daimler and starring Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) and Joshua Jackson (Fringe) that promotes the company's hydrogen-powered car. The gist? You can drink the tailpipe emissions. The two Hollywood stars drove in Death Vally without any water in their F-Cell but had a special tank hooked up to the tailpipe to collect the H2O drips as they drove in 100+ degree temperatures. There's a reason these two actors were chosen, since they've been driving an F-Cell in their daily lives for two years, according to the Diamler press release. The text is, shall we say, a bit hyperbolic - "Their lives rely on the emissions of the B-Class F-CELL" it says, totally ignoring the film crew that is obviously along for the ride and more than likely had a few bottles with them. Also, when the California Fuel Cell Partnership promoted the same idea a few years ago, it clarified that, "A fuel cell doesn't produce enough water to fill your glass. ... If fact, fuel cells produce about the same amount of water as gasoline vehicle – about 1/3 cup for a full day of driving." Thus, this whole thing is a Hollywood stunt, but it's a visually effective one. See for yourself in the mini-movie below. UPDATE: Daimler has told AutoblogGreen that there was no "extra Hollywood magic" needed for the water collected in the video. Instead, Madeleine Herdlitschka, who works at global communications for Mercedes-Benz Cars, said, "Considering the technical characteristics, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL emits about 9 kg of water vapor per kg of hydrogen while driving. The vehicle has a hydrogen capacity of about 3.7 kg, what is sufficient for a max. of about 400 km of range. A tailor-made construction, designed by the production company Markenfilm Crossing in cooperation with our fuel cell experts, made it possible to collect the water in a tank - previously cooling the vapor with a specially designed pipe system."

2016 Japanese Grand Prix | Hamilton faces the beginning of the end
Mon, Oct 10 2016We're told the Japanese mamushi viper haunts the undergrowth around Suzuka. If the pit viper attended the weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, it avoided human visitors but it put a nasty bite on Lewis Hamilton's championship hopes. The Briton, lined up second on the grid next to Mercedes-AMG Petronas teammate Nico Rosberg, flubbed his start. By the end of Turn 1 Hamilton was in eighth. Hamilton didn't suffer alone. The beginning of the race was a melee; many of the leaders got caught out either by the damp track or by having to swerve around slow starters. Only Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Red Bull's Max Verstappen took off clean. The German rolled up another lights-to-flag victory despite the pass-happy race happening behind him. Rosberg was as unbothered by the Dutchman in second place as he was by the official Formula 1 camera feed. Verstappen didn't have much work to do until the final ten laps of the race. Thanks to the Mercedes team's strategy – or Ferrari waiting too long to pit – Hamilton got up to third on Lap 36 of 53. Unable to make a DRS-enabled pass on Verstappen down the front straight toward the end of the race, the Mercedes driver took a creative line through Spoon corner. Closing in down the back straight, Hamilton jinked inside to try a pass through the final chicane. Verstappen moved over in the braking zone while Hamilton was still behind him, closing the door on the move. Hamilton protested over his team radio, but seemed resigned to a third place finish after the incident – he didn't try any more passes in the final laps. The Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen crossed the line fourth and fifth, respectively, in recovery drives after penalties. The scuderia tried an aggressive final stint after Hamilton successfully undercut Vettel in the pits. Ferrari put Vettel on the soft-compound Pirellis so he could hunt the Mercedes, but after a few laps of close pursuit the tires gave up and Vettel fell back. Daniel Ricciardo couldn't get comfortable in his Red Bull the entire weekend. The Aussie finished where he started, in sixth place. Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg followed the Red Bull home in two-up formation for Force India, Williams doing the same in the final two points-paying positions with Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Rosberg's 23rd career victory – his ninth of the season and first ever in Japan – puts him 33 points ahead of Hamilton in the Driver's Championship with four races left.
