1985 Mercedes 500sl Euro Celebrity Owned 50k Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
I'm proud to offer a 1985 Mercedes euro 500sl convertible. This car is show quality with only 50k original miles on it. This car was owned by Paul Douglas for the last 7 years and was only used in parades once a year. It was stored in a climate controlled garage and sat next to his s65 wood and interior are in fabulous condition for a 29year old car. It has been repainted at some point in its life put quality of paint is phenomenal, the hard top is still original paint. I have all the work receipts from Paul Douglas. Pictures due not due do justice to the car, this is probably one of the best low mile examples of this rare car in the nation. I do have a car-fax for it and it has no issues. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car and never had any rust or rust repair work done.
If you are not familiar 500sl was only made in Europe only a handful were ever imported here. They all went through extensive regulations to make them legal here and it was the only model that came with factory installed rear jump seats so you could have 4 passengers in the car. The 500sl has more hp and torque than the US based 560sl model and it is also geared differently for the autobahn. To the other US based models like the 380sl and the 450sl the car is not even comparable. It is the most desirable w107 convertible. Additionally the euro models have nice looking flush bumpers, this car does have US headlights on it right now to comply with US regulations when it was imported here, but it would be very easy to put original glass headlights with pneumatic adjustment that it is wired for and were originally on the car. This car is 100% ready to drive with everything working on it including AC, and cruise control and there is not a drop of oil underneath it. Also has hard top available. Don't miss a chance in a lifetime to own a part of history. This car will continue to grow in price over the years. There are only a handful w107 that are in this good of original condition left in the world. The car books out at over $27k by NADA, reserve is well bellow that. Please call me at 651-983-3592 with any questions or to set up a test drive. Thank you.

Lewis Hamilton wins British GP, slashes Vettel's lead to 1 point
Sun, Jul 16 2017SILVERSTONE, England - Lewis Hamilton won his home British Grand Prix for the fourth year in a row on Sunday, while a penultimate-lap puncture slashed Sebastian Vettel's championship lead to a single point. The Briton's drive from pole to flag on an overcast afternoon was lonely, uneventful and dominant - in complete contrast to his Ferrari rival's afternoon - with Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas finishing 14 seconds behind to secure the one-two. "The support has been incredible this weekend. I am so proud I could do this for you all," said Hamilton, who threw himself into the fans for some crowd surfing after the podium celebrations. "The team were faultless this weekend, Valtteri did an incredible job as well, so it's the perfect weekend for us." Far behind in his wake, as Hamilton cruised to a 57th career win and soaked up the applause from an army of flag-waving fans, came sudden drama. Vettel, who had battled on worn tires but looked like securing the final podium position until the blowout, finished seventh after an emergency pit stop with a shower of sparks from the wheel rim. "There was no sign of that happening," said Vettel over the team radio. "There were vibrations but I had it for 20 laps and it didn't get massively worse. The tires didn't look great but they never look great." The German's Finnish teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who had been second before also being hit with a late puncture that sent Bottas and Vettel ahead of him, took third. At the halfway stage of the 20-race season, Vettel has 177 points to Hamilton's 176 with Bottas on 154. Hungary, a circuit where the Briton has won five times before, is next up. Hamilton became only the third driver, after his late compatriot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost, to win the British Grand Prix five times and the first to take four successive victories at Silverstone. Clark won four in a row in the 1960s, but one was at Aintree and another at Brands Hatch. Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished fourth, ending a run of retirements, with Australian teammate Daniel Ricciardo fifth after fighting through the field. Germany's Nico Hulkenberg was sixth for Renault and Force India pairing Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez were eighth and ninth with Brazilian Felipe Massa securing the final point for Williams. Jolyon Palmer's miserable run continued, with Britain's only other driver on the grid failing to make the start after his Renault broke down on the formation lap with a brake failure.
