This car turns heads - literally. 

How many cars have you driven where pedestrians on sidewalks near the car shout out "I like your car!"  It has happened to me repeatedly and only in this car - most recently yesterday!

 

If you are the type to look for a truly great car at a great price, congratulations, you just found it. 

 

I am the fourth owner of this car and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it for the past 9 years.  I gave up my '98 Corvette Convertible to buy it.  My wife thought I was nuts at the time, but you know why I did it - it is a classic all the way.  Quiet, smooth and one of the best looking cars in history.

 

It is in excellent condition and doesn’t need anything.  Carfax and title are clean and the car has never been tampered with (no accidents with the last two owners and according to carfax, none with the first ones either).  I just turned 115k miles and it has A/C, PW, PS, PB, CC, original AM/FM/Cass (it was a $425 extra when new!), leather and 2 tops – hardtop and convertible.  Ceiling mounted hardtop removal rack is included.  Mechanically excellent - you don't even know the engine is running when you are stopped at a traffic light.  A/C is cold and has been updated to todays refrigerant.

 

As you can tell, I am not a dealer.  If you want to go to a dealer and pay their profit and have no history on the car, I am OK with that - good luck.  On the other hand, if you want to talk to the person who has maintained and driven the car for almost a decade, I am he.

 

The car was imported from Germany to San Francisco and sold by a dealer in San Rafael California. I bought it from a woman neighbor who moved East in the 90’s.  It has never seen a winter and has no rust (including undercarriage).  Best I can tell, it has always been garaged.  While I owned it, I did have it painted (original color) and it is gorgeous.  I have the original window sticker ($41,302), owner’s literature and multiple keys.  This car has been meticulously maintained for its entire life.  I can guarantee that this car is one of the nicest cars you will find of this vintage and the absolute best color combo. 

 

Give me a call if you are interested – and serious - and I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know - 610 517 6069.  You are welcome to come and see and drive the car.  If you see it, you will buy it.  For those that don't do this, you may get a shot at it with the auction, but I will end the auction early if I get a reasonable offer. I put a very reasonable reserve on it - unfortunately I must sell it and priced it to sell in the first listing. I know there are some crazy prices out there - this is not one.  Don't miss this car - I almost did when I bought it 9 years ago and really glad I got it.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.

Lewis Hamilton owns 15 cars, uses tow trucks to keep the mileage low

Thu, Aug 2 2018

No matter how you feel about Lewis Hamilton off the track, it's impossible not to respect his talent behind the wheel. Currently, Hamilton is the second most successful Formula One driver of all time. His 67 wins and four championships place him only behind Michael Schumacher's 91 wins and seven championships. With all those winnings, Hamilton has racked up a decent personal fortune, much of which he uses to buy cars. Except he doesn't drive them quite as much as you might think. According to The Sunday Times, Hamilton's net worth of just over $207 million makes him one of the richest sports figures in the UK, just behind David Beckham. In a recent interview with the British newspaper, Hamilton gave some details on his personal car collection. His first car was a used Mini Cooper, soon followed by a Mercedes-Benz C200. Both have long since been replaced by a pair of original Shelby Cobras, a 1967 Shelby GT500, a Ferrari 599 SA Aperta, two LaFerraris (a red coupe and a white Aperta), a McLaren P1 and a Pagani Zonda 760 equipped with a manual transmission. All in, Hamilton has about 15 cars split between homes in Monaco and Los Angeles. Unsurprisingly, he has a Mercedes-AMG Project One ( a car that shares more than a little with his F1 W09 EQ Power+ race car) on the way. Hamilton has some hot takes on his personal collection. "The Zonda is terrible to drive," he said. "It's the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it's the worst. I got it in manual because I didn't like the tiptronic version. The tiptronic Pagani offered was worse than the Smart Roadster I had." He also says his Shelby Mustang is a "beautiful car, but a heap of junk." In order to keep the miles down (and valuations up), Hamilton apparently has a tow truck on retainer in Los Angeles. When he's finished driving one of his Ferraris, he'll have the car towed back to his place. Classic cars are becoming a solid and serious investment, and Hamilton doesn't want to squander his wealth like some other athletes. That said, there are a couple more cars Hamilton would love to own, including a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (the one with the gullwing doors) and a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder (the one from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off").
