I am the third owner of this great road car. It was purchased new in Hawaii and container shipped to the US to a family member upon her death about 7 years ago. I bought it from them and have only driven it about 100 miles since I acquired it about a year ago. Cam chains were upgraded at about 40K. No receipts, but I have pix. All parts used were original MB. Car is in great overall condition and runs and drives great for a 30 year old car. I have replaced the battery, fuel pump, had to hood professionally repainted, and replaced the under hood rubber pads, fixed a lot of minor issues and serviced and detailed the whole car since I bought it. It has always been stored inside. No oil or fluid leaks at this time. Tires were new at 42K. Brakes were redone, a few years back. The original radio was replaced with a newer unit, but I have the original. Original hard top is in great shape. It comes with a convenient roll around cart for storage. AC works great, cruise control, power windows, locks, interior and exterior lights work as should, rear defroster works on hardtop. Soft top is in great original condition with great rubber seals. Rear plastic glass is only slightly foggy around edges. Tool kit is there and complete, but original Mercedes top tool is missing as is original owner manual. We are still searching for it. I bought 2 reproduction tools to get by. The car will need a new warm-up regulator at some point. Its more of a minor annoyance at this point. Car runs fine after a couple of minutes. The temp gauge quit working, and the rheostat on the instrument lights is bad. I am still working on these two issues. I also has a small exhaust leak at the muffler, not a hole. Hope to get this taken care of this week. The only other issue I have to report is a clatter in the steering wheel, which as it turns out, is a common problem with the steering shaft coupler. not an expensive fix. I am searching for a small vacuum leak in the engine this week too. Paint is good for a driven car this age, no dents, no rust, rockers solid. Dents removed except for one tiny above the headlight bezel. Someone ran a key down the sides of the car at some point, but it is only in the clear coat and is hard to see. That's about all I can think of. Car is a blast to drive and is in incredible shape for its age. A top rated favorite by Road and Track magazine. You may contact me for any further questions. I welcome any third party inspections done by professionals.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track
Mon, Apr 18 2016Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
