Up for sale is an amazing 1971 Mercedes 250C-Coupe. In pristine condition with only 86,150 original miles. A little about the history of the car, I have the original sticker from Rollins Motor Company, Mercedes Benz Dealer in El Paso, Texas. Delivery Date, January 24th, 1972. I have the original sticker, pre-inspection, original owner's manuals, even the Becker Stereo owner's manual. It spent the 1970's and 80's in El Paso and Amarillo, Texas. The car was then sold to a gentleman in Boise, Idaho where it spent the past 12 years. All very dry, rust free places. I purchased the vehicle from a classic car dealer in Boise, Idaho as I wanted one with original low miles and in good condition. I have owned over a dozen vintage Mercedes from diesel's to gas and this is a real head turner. I purchased the car less than six months ago and have put less than a hundred miles on it. I live in the Northwest and it rains until June, I don't drive my vintage cars in the rain much and it is one of five cars that I currently own. Since owning, I rebuilt the carburetors and did some radiator work by a classic car mechanic. I will include the receipts and I spent over $500.00 for this work done in the past few months. This car really needs to be driven more frequently and it is one of the reasons it is up for sale. I could definitely be a head turning daily driver. The goal was to keep it and sell one of my other cars, but I recently am put in the position where I am moving to a house with a one car garage. I no longer want to have to pay for storage apart from my residence, so I am keeping my restored BMW 2002 that I have over $25K into the garage, and keeping my Land Cruiser and daily driver outside. This car is too nice to not be garaged.

Whoever gets this will get a beautiful car. With that said, sometimes people are unrealistic when it comes to a 40 year old car, so please be so. The reserve price is several thousand below what I paid not including the money i just put into it. My loss is your gain. A couple of things to note, as I took a lot of pictures. Please look closely at the floor, carpets, back deck, wood dash, panels, chrome, exhaust, headliner. They are all in immaculate, and I mean immaculate condition. You will be hard pressed to find one with chrome and European bumpers this nice. It is simply a gorgeous car. What I love about it is the parchment interior. The seats are amazing, just look at the back seat, front seats, back of the front seats and even the safety belts have the Mercedes emblem that shines through. No cracks in the dash. It even has intermittent wipers that work flawlessly. If you will note, it does have AC. It also has brand new tires, see from the pictures and correct stainless steel hubcaps in amazing shape. Also, the exhaust is new as you can tell by the pictures. The trunk is flawless as well, see pictures. The gas tank, etc are in amazing shape, as I tried to take pictures of the undercarriage, as well as the engine compartment.

A few things I would do, it needs map pockets, if you look, you can usually get them on e-bay from $100.00 to $150.00. Also the front speaker cover (on dash) could be replaced, about $40.00 item. One chrome trim piece needs a new clip, about a $5.00 part. As with all old cars, you will have routine maintenance, i.e,, replacing gaskets, hoses, etc. But as I stated, I just had the carbs done, usually the most finicky on the 250C, so that is working nicely and the radiator just serviced. I am not a mechanic, just an old car lover, so i have a few very reliable mechanics, whomever buys should do the same.

E-Mail with questions. One last thing, I will be out of town the last few days of the auction, with limited access to e-mails, so try and ask questions prior. No, I will not disclose my reserve, but will entertain offers and is for sale locally. So if someone makes a reasonable offer, I will consider ending auction early. I work a lot of hours, so if I lose a few bucks on the transaction, my time is worth it. Thanks for looking.

A few more items, all windows work perfectly and seal tightly. This is a pillar less coupe, so when all four are down, it feels more like a convertible if you have never driven a 250C or 280C. The color is original Mercedes Benz Blue Metallic, Code #: 387; Interior is Code #:145, Parchment. Lastly, I took over 83 photos and loaded them onto flicker, but e-bay won't let me attach the link. If you wish to see more pictures, e-mail me and I will attach the link via e-mail. Thanks

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
