Offered for sale is a fine example of one the best model Mercedes ever produced. Offered from 1972 threw 1989 the body remained unchanged. It enjoyed 4 different engines in the US and 2 other ones in Europe. The 450 is considered the best engine ever built. Ever. If you have never owned a 107 body car now is the time. If you want to add one to your collection feel free to bid. This is a no reserve auction. The car does sell next Friday, 9 pm est. This example has had only two owners since new. When a person owns a car this many years they generally are kind to it. This is a US production version painted in its original and rare English Red colour. This colour was offered for two years only. It is also fitted with an equally rare kinderseat behind the front chairs. The interior is original and looks and feels great. The carpet is German. Quite nice. A great deal of body work was done in 2000 and 2001. The car was fitted with new factory rocker panels and new floor (belly) pans. $7000 worth of receipts and detailed photos document the work performed. Since then however some wear has surfaced on the front quarters and the hood. Apparently these parts were not replaced at that time and may even be original. The engine turns over freely and even starts. As you would expect with a prpoer auto, the engine is original to the car. All nunbers are matching. The engine bay is in original and unaltered or modified condition. The fuel system has not been renewed and is certainly in need of that. I would not recommend running the motor on old fuel. The alloys are original and in superb condition. The tires match, have good tread and will serve you for a long time to come. The car is sold with two tops. The hard top is excellent. The convertible top has wear, and could use renewing. The body side mouldings were removed and are sold with the car. The battery is fine and the entire trunk looks to be in good shape. Two complete sets of keys as well as original owners books and brochures from the era are included. So! All this being said, what we have is a low mileage, two owner US production car with good solid work performed at the professional level. It is up to you how far you want to go with the car. The car is sold as is. Its all there for you to work with, or just get it running and enjoy it as is. Feel free to call me at 914 403 1768. You may schedule a visit this week. The car is located in the scenic hamlet of Bedford Village, NY, just 30 miles north of Times Square! If you have the need for auto transportation, please feel free to contact my friend, Dave Lambert at Transport Masters. Telephone 561 504 7030 for a free quote. His firm is reliable, efficent and very competative. The car has great potential. I am confident that you will be pleased. Thank you, fireman john louis

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Daimler rebuffs Geely offer to buy stake
Wed, Nov 29 2017HONG KONG/BEIJING - Daimler AG has turned down an offer from China's Geely to take a stake of up to 5 percent via a discounted share placement, as the German automaker has long been reluctant to see existing shareholdings diluted, sources with knowledge of the talks said. A stake of that size would be worth $4.5 billion at current market prices. Although Daimler declined the offer, it told Geely it was welcome to buy shares in the open market, the sources added. Carmakers in China have embarked on a flurry of dealmaking, as they scramble to boost production of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles ahead of tough new quotas to be imposed by Beijing, which wants to reduce urban smog and lower the country's reliance on oil. People with knowledge of Geely's thinking said the company was keen to access Daimler's electric car battery technology and wanted to establish an electric car joint venture in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. Geely, which also owns Swedish car maker Volvo, is still hopeful it can secure a deal in some form over the coming weeks, they added. The two automakers met in Beijing in recent weeks at Geely's behest. There, the Chinese firm, formally known as Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, offered to take a stake of between 3 percent and 5 percent if Daimler would issue new shares at a discount, the sources said. It was not immediately clear what kind of discount for the shares Geely had in mind or whether Geely was interested in buying the shares on the open market. A spokesman for Geely declined to comment. A spokesman for Daimler said the company was "very happy with our shareholder structure at present", but added that it would welcome new investors with a long-term interest in the company. Shares in Daimler were up 1 percent in early Wednesday trade, in line with the broader market.DAIMLER ALREADY TIED TO BAIC, BYD Geely, which has a market value of some $32 billion, is the leading domestic brand in China with a 5 percent market share, according to an analysis by Nomura Securities. A stake of 5 percent would establish it as Daimler's third-largest shareholder behind the Kuwait Investment Authority and BlackRock, who hold 6.8 percent and 6 percent respectively, according to Reuters data.
