Benz 560SEC: A meticulous paint restoration was done by Advantage Auto works, in North Richland Hills, TX at a cost of $8,500. All molding taken off, clips replaced, windshields removed and reinstalled with new gaskets. All moldings and cladding blacked out. There are no dings or scratches. The car was recently wet sanded to remove any shrinkage and orange peel. AMG wheels installed along with Continental DWS tires. Driver's side bolster and center armrest were re-skinned. Installed new fog lights and used European headlamps. Replaced ignition wires, freeze plug on right side of engine and replaced engine mounts and shock. Replaced front grill. Replaced ignition cylinder and key. Replaced front brakes and calipers. Reverse flush engine and install cooler thermostat. Replaced O2 sensor, gaskets on the intake manifolds, replaced air cleaner, replaced the fuel injectors, replaced flange, air filter, guide and fuel intake hose. Replaced incorrect fuel pump relay and ECU. Replaced fuel accumulator and temperature sensor. Replaced valve stem seals. Replaced front control arms and 2 front tires in January 2013, as the tires were cupped do to the worn suspension parts. The suspension has been lowered with H&R springs and new Bilstein struts. The front end was entirely re-bushed and the left front tie rod end was replaced along with the lower control arms. The transmission was rebuilt within the last 3 months. While the car shows very well, there is a small blister on the right rear quarter panel, just above the wheel well. The recommended fix is to cut out the metal 2” around the blister and weld in new metal. I will have the repair done if the buyer meets the Buy-it Now price. $25,000 invested after the car was purchased. This 2 owner, low mileage, meticulous restoration is a rare example of an extraordinary vehicle. The car was hand built and was Mercedes flag ship in 1991. It sold new for $84,000. This was the last year of production of the 560SEC and benefited from upgrades based on production and warrantee experience. For someone who knows these cars, values the workmanship and what has been done, this is a great value. Zims Autotecnik in Bedford, TX and Park Place Mercedes in Grapevine, TX performed the mechanical work done in Texas. I have all receipts for work that I had performed and I can send a spreadsheet of the expenses I have incurred since I have owned the car. While I have confidence in the car and the work performed, I urge an independent inspection be done on the car, which is a prudent practice prior to purchasing any vehicle. I have taken much satisfaction in bringing the car back to its original glory and driving has it been a pleasure. I have moved on to other projects and can only park 4 cars under cover. Having more than 4 classic cars would stress my wife in the extreme. My wife is a keeper, so the car is being placed on eBay.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
Smart brand will be built in China as a Daimler-Geely joint
Thu, Mar 28 2019FRANKFURT/BEIJING — Daimler will build its next generation of Smart electric cars in China through a joint venture with Geely, as a way to increase economies of scale in a market segment that is struggling to turn a profit. China's Geely built a stake of almost 10 percent in Daimler last year, saying it wanted to forge an alliance to develop electric and self-driving cars to better compete against new challengers such as Uber and Google. Daimler said on Thursday it would build the next generation of Smart-branded city cars at a purpose-built factory in China, and planned to share its expertise in manufacturing, engineering and design with Geely. The high cost of electric car batteries has made it hard for automakers to build affordable zero-emissions vehicles, leading several of them to strike alliances with Chinese partners. Daimler's German rival BMW recently unveiled plans to build electric Minis in China, where production costs are low and demand for small electric cars is rising. Daimler and Geely did not disclose financial terms of their deal. The details of the joint venture will be finalized by the end of 2019, they said in a joint press release. Daimler currently develops and builds Smart cars with Renault at factories in France and Slovenia. The Daimler factory in Hambach, France, will be retooled to build Mercedes-Benz cars. Geely has been expanding rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since 2010, when it acquired Swedish carmaker Volvo from Ford. Last year, Daimler and Geely set up a ride-hailing joint venture in China. Daimler's Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said last month the German carmaker was in talks to deepen its alliance with Geely after the Chinese's group's chairman Li Shufu bought a 9.69 percent stake in Daimler in 2018.
Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
