This is a fun car to drive and it gets noticed everywhere it goes. I have owned it for 13 years and it has had only 2 previous owners. This 1967 230SL has very low mileage, 42,700 miles, and it has always been garaged here in the state of NH. The mileage is low partly because the 2nd owner had stored it for 12 years, until I bought it in 2000. I have put on less than 5000 miles. It has a Six Cylinder Engine and a Standard Shift 4-Speed Transmission. The color is the Mercedes Benz Orient Red, and it was repainted back in the 1980s with the original color. Paint is still nice. Chrome is ok too. Interior is saddle brown in color and the seats are covered with the indestructible MB Tex vinyl. Seats, rugs, dash, glass, etc. are all in MINT condition. I have maintained the car and here is a list of new parts that I have installed during my ownership: power steering pump, steering stabilizer, steering linkage bushings, inner and outer tie-rods, water pump and hoses, master cylinder re-built, front brakes, fuel pump, new fuel sending unit, stainless steel exhaust system, plug wires, steering box, high pressure power steering hose, all new belts, new Michelin tires, clutch cylinder sleeve, front brake calipers, all rubber brake lines, fuel tank, Nardi steering wheel, and speedometer cable. The car runs awesome. Removable hardtop comes off to reveal the canvas convertible top that is about 20 years old. I can see 2 dime size worn spots on the rag top, but since it is never driven in the rain, I have not replaced it. Other than the rag top, the only other flaw is the speedometer, when the car warms up, the needle "bounces" up and down. Tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. The 4 new Michelins have less than a thousand miles on them. I am available to answer any questions JIM 603-401-9236. Wonderful car. Serious bidders only, please. The car will be sold with a NH Bill of Sale. NH did not require a TITLE on a car this old, but I do have the current registration which I am happy to provide a copy of. Good Luck bidding. This is a NO RESERVE auction.

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
