1985 Mercedes 500sl Euro Celebrity Owned 50k Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
I'm proud to offer a 1985 Mercedes euro 500sl convertible. This car is show quality with only 50k original miles on it. This car was owned by Paul Douglas for the last 7 years and was only used in parades once a year. It was stored in a climate controlled garage and sat next to his s65 wood and interior are in fabulous condition for a 29year old car. It has been repainted at some point in its life put quality of paint is phenomenal, the hard top is still original paint. I have all the work receipts from Paul Douglas. Pictures due not due do justice to the car, this is probably one of the best low mile examples of this rare car in the nation. I do have a car-fax for it and it has no issues. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car and never had any rust or rust repair work done.
If you are not familiar 500sl was only made in Europe only a handful were ever imported here. They all went through extensive regulations to make them legal here and it was the only model that came with factory installed rear jump seats so you could have 4 passengers in the car. The 500sl has more hp and torque than the US based 560sl model and it is also geared differently for the autobahn. To the other US based models like the 380sl and the 450sl the car is not even comparable. It is the most desirable w107 convertible. Additionally the euro models have nice looking flush bumpers, this car does have US headlights on it right now to comply with US regulations when it was imported here, but it would be very easy to put original glass headlights with pneumatic adjustment that it is wired for and were originally on the car. This car is 100% ready to drive with everything working on it including AC, and cruise control and there is not a drop of oil underneath it. Also has hard top available. Don't miss a chance in a lifetime to own a part of history. This car will continue to grow in price over the years. There are only a handful w107 that are in this good of original condition left in the world. The car books out at over $27k by NADA, reserve is well bellow that. Please call me at 651-983-3592 with any questions or to set up a test drive. Thank you.

Sunday Drive: And now for something completely different
Sun, Dec 17 2017This past week played host to a wide assortment of automotive news, highlighted by our first drive of the 2018 Volvo XC40. The Swedish crossover is targeted at young, successful Millennials, but it offers cool styling, fun dynamics, and all of today's must-have technology, so we think it ought to appeal to a much wider swath of the automotive marketplace. From there we answer the question, "What are hard on the outside and soft on the inside?" as we take a look at the next Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. We expect the German automaker's flagship luxury SUV to remain boxy on the outside, but the interior is going to be soft, supple, and luxurious. And then there's the Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which starts at starts at $34,290 and boasts 212 total system horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torque, 47 miles of electric driving range, and a total range of 340 miles. EPA rates it at 110 MPGe in EV mode, and 44 city/40 highway/42 combined overall. We compare it to other plug-ins like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. And finally we have some more spy photos of the 2019 Ram 1500. It doesn't have a traditional crosshair grille, but it's got plenty of chrome and an attractive upright stance that's sure to tempt future truck buyers looking for some sophistication to go with their work gloves. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week to see all the automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 Volvo XC40 First Drive Review | The Masspirational crossover Mercedes-Benz G-Class gets the luxe, high-tech treatment 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid Review | It's what's on the inside that counts 2019 Ram 1500 shows chrome grille and more production parts Green Honda Mercedes-Benz RAM Volvo Technology Truck Crossover SUV Luxury Performance Sedan volvo xc40 sunday drive
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
