S-Class 2-Door Coupes are rare. This one, a 1994, is part of the Model 140 series that began in 1991 and was replaced by the Model 220 series in 1998. The Model 140 was the largest of the S-class and the only model offering a two-door body configuration.  In 1998 the S500 Coupe was re-branded to the CL500. As big as it is, it only seats four. The backseats are as big as the front ones and there is a huge arm rest between them. There are only two seat belts in the backseat. Minor scratches. The bumpers, front and back, were re-conditioned last year; they are like new. 


I am the second owner. I bought it on eBay in 2003 from a seller in Santa Barbara. I never had it outside of California except for a trip to Las Vegas and one to Phoenix.

Never smoked in. AC blows cold. 

There is a pretty elaborate car-phone but it is incapatable with available service providers. 

The speaker grill in the passenger door as a hole it in about the side of a quarter. The speaker itself works.

There is no sign of cracks in the dashboard and just a minor blemish in the wood panel next to the gear shifter. The rest of the wood tirm is in show-room condition. All four seats and the carpter are in very good condition.

The radio provides AM, FM, Cassette, CD, and WB. WB is Weather Band. It works but I can't say I listen to it a lot. The CD mode goes to a six-CD player in the trunk.

When you start the car "arms", one for the driver and one for the frontseat passenger, hand you the seat belt over your sholder. Then they retract. It may take getting use to.

When you put the car in reverse, rear parking markers come up out of the rear fenders about 5 inches. When you move out of reverse they retract. (Hard to get a picture of. You don't want to put the car in reverse and get out to take a picture. I shot one out the back window.)

The double-pane door-glass seals you in. When you open the door, both driver and passenger, the door window retracts about a half-inch. When the door closes the glass returns to a normal closed position inside the rubber window frame. Virually eliminates road noise.

Comes with the original Owners Manual in a black zipper case with the Mecedes star on it. 

Comes with a toolkit that fits inside the rim of the spare tire. I've never had to use it. 

Comes with a first-aid kit (Original)  that stores in a comparment above the backseat arm rest (marked with a small green cross). 

Comes with two remote "keys" and two separate conventional keys. The remote on the passenger side does not aways work but if you use the conventinal key it aways does.

Race recap: 2016 Australian F1 Grand Prix a rowdy start to season

Mon, Mar 21 2016

The three brief Formula 1 tests ahead of the current season belied how much had gone on since the last race in November: Infiniti subbed out for Tag Heuer, Renault is back, the all new Haas F1 team, a revamped Manor, three brand new drivers and two returning drivers, a raft of regulation changes among the newly tilled soil. The four engine manufacturers spent a combined 67 tokens among the 138 in the kitty, Renault using just seven of their 32. The only conclusive proof to come from the annual intermission was the otherworldly capability of Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows didn't even try the super- and ultra-soft tires, focusing on reliability instead of speed. The result? They ran more than 19 race distances, obliterating the lap totals of every other team. There are certainly a few people who enjoyed the complicated new rolling-elimination qualifying format fast-tracked to approval just a few weeks ago. They were wildly outnumbered by those who thought it was awful, including the same team heads who voted for it. We'd probably have to go back to the debacle at the 2005 Indianapolis Grand Prix for an equivalent fiasco when Michelin pulled its teams over safety fears, leaving six cars out of 20 to qualify. In Australia, within 24 hours of the conclusion of qualifying, the new format had itself been eliminated. Nevertheless, qualifying also taught us what didn't happen over the winter: any other team progressing enough to outduel Mercedes. After admitting that he dropped off after winning the championship last year, then getting questioned in the press for some dubious off-season activities, Lewis Hamilton proved he can still turn it on when he wants to. The Brit smoked the Albert Park track in 1:23.837, more than three-tenths of a second ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in second place. Ferrari did make strides during the off-season, but only enough to keep the same gap it had to Mercedes last year: Sebastian Vettel lined up third, a half-second behind Rosberg, teammate Kimi Raikkonen another four-tenths back in fourth place. Max Verstappen said Toro Rosso is the best of the rest, the Dutchman taking fifth place in front of Felipe Massa for Williams in sixth and Toro Rosso teammate Carlos Sainz in sixth. Daniel Ricciardo – who wasn't smiling after qualifying – kept Red Bull and its new "Tag Heuer" engines in the conversation with eighth on the grid.

Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
