190sl Mercedes Benz Roadster Red, Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Champaign, Illinois, United States
|
1957 Mercedes Benz 190SL Roadster. Restored in Silicon Valley By Jurgen Klockmann. This car won first place in 2000, at the Antique Club of America's, Nationals Award in Pompano Beach. It looks and drives like the day it came from the Daimler-Benz factory and should probably be in a museum. It has the correct clear front turnsignal lenses (amber lenses were used in Europe) and the correct rubber flooring in both the front passenger area and in the trunk. (All the 190SL's came with a 5 piece rubber flooring, rather than carpet - which is not original equipment). It also comes with, a hard to find, spare gas can, that is mounted inside the rim of the spare tire. This car has 691 miles, since its 2000 restoration. It has no mechanical issues and no blemishes. The original 1957 MBZ documentation accompanies this fine automobile. This 190SL is in pristine condition and all parts are correct, from the Kienzle clock to the Becker Mexico radio and Hirschmann antenna. Under the hood, you will find everything correct, along with all the proper Tags/Labels. The under side is also like brand new in every detail. Note the Cream color paint, inside the Chrome bumpers (also original equipment). This is a totally rust free car and is as close to perfect as possible. There are no 190SL listed for sale, that compare to this one, in total correct restoration. They all have something that is either missing or just not original equipment.
As a side note: Starting in May of 1962, the front wheel arches were sprayed with white PVC for protection against corrosion.

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
