1959 Mercedes Benz 190sl Roadster Red Over Tan Ready To Drive M121 W121 on 2040-cars
Columbus, Ohio, United States
|
This 1959 190SL was owned and maintained by the previous owner for over 25 years before I purchased it two years ago. The car is completely solid. The floors, inner fenders, and chassis have been cleaned and painted body color. I realize this is historically incorrect, but there is not thick undercoating hiding rust or rust repairs like many of the other 190s I have looked at. This car was a solid and clean example before any restoration began. I have over 25 years worth of receipts from my ownership as well as the previous owners for this car. The motor is in excellent running condition, makes excellent oil pressure (60psi at warm idle, pegs the gauge off idle), and can be driven away with confidence. I do not hesitate to drive this car out to dinner or out to car shows. It performs as it should around town and at highway speeds. The engine has been sorted and tweaked by a well known marque specialist. His contact information is available to serious buyers if you would like to consult with him on his impressions of the car. The M121 engine wears a pair of Weber Carburetors which make for easy starts and reliable performance. The car was also recently fitted with the smaller, lighter, high torque Bosch SR58X starter, installed with the correct factory spacer ring. The generator was freshened by a local specialist at the same time. The car has a correct water pump with servicable bearings installed. I also recently had a correct mechanical fuel pump with external primer handle rebuilt with a fresh diaphgram installed. The ignition system was rebuilt with Bosch components wherever possible. Many new items have been purchased from my local dealership, the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and other specialists. Parts include the steering wheel, horn ring, air intake boot, hose clamps, windshield, brake components, fuel hose, and many others. The brake master cylinder as well as all of the wheel cylinders were rebuilt and all brake adjusting fiber washers were replaced with genuine Mercedes Benz parts. Underneath the car, things like tie rods, suspension bushings, and joints have also been replaced. All greaseable points in the suspension have been serviced regularly. The car includes both tops. The black soft top is in excellent condition. The matching small window hardtop has recently been fitted with a new headliner. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with fresh leather and german square weave carpets. The car has a couple of blemishes which I have done my best to photograph. In the passenger side rear quarter panel there is a long scratch which has been touched up. In the passenger side lower front fender there is another scratch which has also been touched up. One of the headlight rings has a small ding in it. The passenger side rear bumper over-rider has a dent in it and the plating has flaked, so some corrosion has developed. It could be straightend and rechromed. I have not attempted to repair, repaint, or buff the scratches on the car. They were on the car when I purchased it. When kept clean and waxed they are not very noticable, and a professional may be able to minimize them even further. Also, the rear window rubber seal on the hardtop shows some cracking from age. This car is in very nice condition mechanically as well as cosmetically. The car has won several trophies at local cars shows during my ownership of the car. The car brings attention, smiles, and starts conversations wherever it goes. This is a car you can drive and enjoy as you continue to make it an even better car. I have driven and enjoyed this car
and look forward to meeting you and discussing the car. I encourage in

Mercedes CLA a sub-$30k car no more
Fri, Dec 12 2014To be honest, the sub-$30,000 Mercedes-Benz CLA was more a theoretical than a real thing. Squeaking in at $100 below that magical threshold, not counting a $925 destination charge, snagging a CLA anywhere near $30k meant exercising extreme self-control with the options catalog. Perhaps with that thinking in mind, Mercedes is set to effectively scrap the entire idea, with Cars Direct claiming the price on a new CLA is set to increase by about five percent, to $31,500. Adding 4Matic all-wheel drive brings the starting price to $33,500. Even the hot CLA45 AMG is getting a price bump, from $47,450 to $48,500. Frankly, it's impossible to miss where Mercedes is coming from with this move, if it actually happens. The CLA has been one of 2014's unmitigated success stories, selling so well that Mercedes has struggled to keep up with demand. Considering that, a modest price hike is to be expected.
Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035
Tue, Jun 21 2022BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

2015 Malaysian F1 GP springs hot, humid surprises [spoilers]
Sun, Mar 29 2015In the two weeks since Australia both Mercedes and Ferrari spoke of the improved performance from their respective cars. In Malaysia, Ferrari showed it. Lewis Hamilton still put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position, but Sebastian Vettel got within two whiskers of the Brit, lining up second just 0.074 behind. Afterward, Vettel said Ferrari could win the race if everything went well. But in qualifying we didn't know how much of Ferrari's performance was truly down to the car and how much was down to the wet weather that struck near the beginning of Q2. The rain didn't hamper Nico Rosberg's run – the German said "I just didn't drive good enough" – and he took third spot in the second Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Showing what the Infiniti Red Bull Racing chassis can do when the power unit is working properly, teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat grabbed fourth and fifth. Whippersnapper Max Verstappen, in his second race, qualified in sixth with an excellent drive through the rain; just 0.030 behind Kvyat, he said he could have got fifth if he hadn't had a running problem with his brakes. Williams head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley said he wouldn't complain about Mercedes' advantage, but Felipe Massa has spent the whole season so far banging the alarm about Ferrari's pace. He says Williams has lost its straight-line advantage, part of the reason the first Grove car is back in seventh, while Valtteri Bottas is in eighth. Between them was Romain Grosjean in the Lotus, but he got dropped two positions for a pit-lane infraction in Q2, so he'll be tenth. Ahead of him is Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber, who would lead the charge to turn in another surprise for the Swiss team. But the real surprise came from the Scuderia Ferrari, who, on a bright, sunny day proved that they don't need to add water for race-winning pace. While Hamilton got made usual awesome start at the lights, Vettel channeled that other famous German Ferrari driver and immediately cut across the track to intimidate Rosberg, maintaining his second place position into the first turn. Arguably the race-winning move came three laps later at that same turn, when Ericsson plunged in too fast and swapped ends, beaching the rear of his Sauber in the gravel trap. The safety car came out when the recovery truck emerged to retrieve the Sauber, and nearly all of the front-runners took to the pits to swap out of the medium tires. Vettel, however, didn't.
