This is a two owner, original Mercedes 560SEC coupe.  Has been maintained by MB dealer since new.  Complete  maintenance and repair records since new.  Car has been owned since 1994 by current owner, who is an MBCA enthusiast with a collection of classic and antique Mercedes.  This car has never been in an accident except for a couple of door dings and a 2MPH bump on the rear bumper which caused no damage and was repainted at the MB dealer.  Car is in almost perfect mechanical condition.  Only things needing attention are the cruise control amplifier (common issue) and reconnection of the sun visor mirror lights.  Car has an updated Becker CD player radio, but original radio is included in working condition.  Also, there are two sets of OEM wheels for summer and winter tires.  The interior is also in outstanding condition, with supple leather seats with no tears or rips.  Trunk is likewise very clean, with the only issue being where cleaner was leaked into the passenger wheel well depression.  The carpet covering can be replaced by any reputable upholsterer on this part for about $150.00 if perfection is sought.  John Olson's book, The SL Experience notes that the W126 coupe is the rarest Mercedes produced during the golden years of the 80s, before Mercedes ceased to be over engineered and plastic replaced leather and metal in their line.  Less than 2,000 of these cars were made per year, and the 1990 and 1991 models are the last and most sought of this model.  These rare coupes are starting to appreciate and will continue to appreciate in the future.  This car just floats down the interstate with the most luxurious ride imaginable, better than today's cars.  The 5.6 liter V8 provides ample power to do as you please in this car.  Likewise, the body structure is extremely strong with no rattles and vibrations.  The car has European glass halogen lights mounted, but the original US spec lights will also go with the car.  This car offers perhaps the most for the money of any used car on the market today.  You can drive it every day, and it will provide many, many years of pleasure.  The engine and drivetrain is bulletproof, capable of going hundres of thousands of miles without the need of any rebuild if maintained to MB specs. This car gets lots of attention and thumbs up.  The mechanics at the Mercedes dealership will ask you if you want to sell it when you drive in for scheduled oil changes or service.  This car can win prizes in local Mercedes shows with all records and original books intact along with tool roll etc.  I am selling it only to make room for other vehicles on my bucket list.  BTW, this is my wife's favorite car.  If you have any questions, I can provide the number of our master MB mechanic, known in the DC area as the Car Whisperer, who can vouch for the conditiion of this car.  I am also happy to answer any questions for you--just ring me at 703.799.7465.  The reserve is most reasonable.  I am only asking a fair price for this classic car and am willing to sell it early based on a reasonable offer.  The colors of desert taupe with a creme beige interior are gorgeous in any climate.  Additional pictures are available on request.  I will assist with pick up of vehicle by commercial shippers.

Mercedes-Maybach rolls out new S, GLS and EQS SUV Night Series

Wed, May 24 2023

Mercedes-Maybach is embracing a new look for what it hopes will be a new generation of buyers — one keen to embrace its new electrified luxury models. The new Night Series will be offered on all three models in the current Maybach lineup, with the S-Class and EQS SUV variants arriving later this year and the GLS following in early 2024. While the execution off each Night Series is dependent on the model in question, they share a few common elements. Their headlights, for instance, are all embellished with dark chrome Maybach logos on rose gold trim. You'll find that dark chrome just about anywhere you'd normally spot bling, from the grille and exterior trim to the coating on the rear exhaust finishers. And then there are those wheels. I don't know what to say, quite honestly. Just look at them. And while you're at it, peep at the running boards on the EQS SUV.  While the cars shown here are quite uniform, differentiation will come in the form of finish choices and further individual customization. All three are offered with the Obsidian Black/Mojave Silver two-tone combination shown here. The EQS SUV will also be available in Obsidian Black and Manufaktur Diamond White finishes, the S-Class can be done up in various grey, black and white hues, and the GLS can be had in white or Obsidian Black.  Inside you'll find herringbone-patterned, open-pore wood with aluminum accents along with another smattering of dark chrome. The EQS SUV and GLS can optioned with with Nappa leather in two-tone Crystal White/Black Pearl or just plain Black Pearl. In the S-Class, you can do Nappa leather in either Deep White/Black Pearl or straight Black Pearl.  Look for more on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and EQS SUV Night Series soon, with more to come on the GLS variant as its arrival draws closer.  Related video: 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 walkaround

2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet includes guaranteed exclusivity

Wed, Nov 16 2016

For certain buyers, the only thing better than a super-luxurious cabriolet that requires enormous sums of money to buy is a a super-luxurious cabriolet that money can't buy. That's what Daimler promises with the 2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet to be unveiled at the LA Auto Show. Limited to 300 units worldwide and just 75 in the US, having just three available color combinations magnifies the exclusivity. Turning the Mercedes-Benz S-Class cabrio into a droptop worthy of the Maybach family means slight revisions outside and in, and a whole lot of Maybach badges. Instead of the three lower intakes familiar from Mercedes' corporate language, there's black mesh highlighted by a shiny design element. It's not the most graceful face from dead-on, looking sort of like a chrome-lined grimace picked up from Wallace and Gromit. A Maybach emblem adorns the fenders and gleaming kickplates, the 20-inch wheels add an edge to the brand's traditional dinner-plate design. The 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V12 carries over from the donor convertible, with the same 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque hooked up to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The only three color treatments available in the US will be Zircon Red with a porcelain and black interior and a black top, Cote d'Azur Blue with a porcelain and saddle interior and a beige top, and Designo Diamond White with a porcelain and Yacht Blue interior with a dark blue top. The cabin works nautical themes lifted in part from the Mercedes-Benz Style Arrow 460-Granturismo yacht. Perforations in the leather seats evoke waterfalls. The "Flowing Lines" trim ornamenting the seats comes two different colors depending on the exterior hue; either "Piano lacquer" black with the Zircon Red or Magnolia Nut Brown with the other two options. Buyers will find profuse badging in embroidered, embossed, and inlaid varieties, as well as chrome-plated "1 of 300" lettering in several places like the cup holder and steering wheel. The few lucky customers who buy an S650 will also find a four-piece set of Maybach-badged luggage in the truck, two travel bags and two weekenders tooled up in the same leather as the interior. The key fob gets finished in Porcelain leather. A car cover comes standard, in the same color as the convertible top. A certificate signed by the mustachioed one, Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche, provides the corporate-badged icing on the cake.

Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
