The 560SL offered here is the finest you are likely to find anywhere. Always garaged and lovingly maintained, it is in the highly desirable Artic White exterior with blue leather interior. It has the original removable hardtop and the original like-new dark blue soft top with a clear window. The paint is all original and shines like a new car. The carpet is original and it and the floor mats are as new. The seat covers are brand new German leather with new horsehair pads so the interior looks, rides and smells almost like it did when it left the showroom. The engine, transmission and other systems all work perfectly. The clock keeps perfect time. A/C is cold. With a new exhaust system and low mileage Michelin tires it rides and sounds great. It has 81,XXX documented miles. Over its 28 year life that’s an average of less than 2900 miles per year. It has the original first aid kit and tool roll. There has never been a speck of rust on the car.
The car runs, accelerates and cruises like new. It's fun to drive and is fast and comfortable. It has a driver’s side air bag and is a safe classic car. It is a very rigid convertible of considerable heft.
It’s not perfect. No unrestored car of this era could be. If it somehow was it would be much more expensive. There are a few very minor paint chips on the trailing edges of the doors and very few touched up chips elsewhere which take a very close examination to find. Overall the paint looks amazing.
The German engineering on this car is superb. Mercedes had 19 years to perfect this series of cars but as with all machines there are points that fail over a long period of time. These areas have been addressed on this car. I have owned this car for 8 years and it was a very good one when I bought it. It's much better now. I have invested a lot to prevent problems and correct failures when they occur and you can benefit from that. I'm simply ready to buy another classic Mercedes and enjoy it.
The front calipers have been replaced. The cruise control is almost a guaranteed failure point on these cars after 20-25 years. This one has had a professional repair and works perfectly. The AC compressor, the blower motor and the starter have been replaced. All mechanical replacements (except exhaust) have been done with OEM parts. Hardtop to window rubber was replaced and finally the leather seats have been replaced with beautiful supple leather that is exactly like the original. This beautiful classic will serve you faithfully for many more decades. I think you’ll find it to be a very, very good driver or candidate for an easy restoration to perfect condition.
Includes a car cover, hoist, cart and cover for the hardtop, a value of over $600. These allow one person removal of the hard top as well as safe, convenient and dust free storage. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below. Synergies between F1 and Road Car Development: Efficiency equals performance In Formula 1 Racing, performance is everything.
Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 2 2019On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
