1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL VIN: WDBBA45A6BB005076 THERE ARE OVER 70 IMAGES OF THIS COUPE SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This NO RESERVE auction is for an original 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL convertible. This R107 roadster has had a pampered life and it is showing only a little over 75,000 miles on the odometer. It not only looks fantastic but it produces plenty of usable horsepower with the proven 3.8 liter, V-8 cylinder engine under the hood which is coupled to a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. These engines have fuel fed by reliable BOSCH fuel injection systems and have proven to be long lasting with normal care and maintainence. This survivor car is very clean and it has a decent "20 footer" exterior and interior. Most of the paint appears original, the wood trim is very good, the carpeting is clean and fresh and there aren't even any cracks on the dashboard! This one owner classic convertible has been adult owned, driven and cared for and it has always been garaged. It has the original hardtop which we put on (for the first time in many years) to take the pictures. It looks nearly brand new and comes with the original Mercedes Benz stand and cover. The convertible soft top is also in decent condition with only two very small (10mm) tears noticed and the clear panels are in nice condition as well. The scarce Roser leather interior has withstood time well and it still has that captivating aroma. There is one very small tear in the underside of the center armrest. It is a pleasure for us to present a machine that is this well put together and cared for. The car was just serviced and there is a new complete exhaust system as well as a brand new battery. It just passed New York State's rigid inspection for emissions and safety. We have a good spare tire, jacking tools, the complete tool kit in the roll, roof removal lever tool and 2 sets of keys. There are no squeaks, rattles or other annoying gremlins to take away from the pure pleasure of cruising around and everything on the car works as designed, even the clock. It is well behaved on the road and it will cruise comfortably at current day highway speeds (and above!) without even breathing hard. It also stops and turns as well as it gets up and goes and it tracks like it is on rails! Be sure to look at the current CARFAX to boost your confidence about the history of the car: 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SERIES (WDBBA45A6BB005076) In all regards this Mercedes-Benz 380SL won't disappoint you. We couldn't tell if the A/C is working correctly in 45 degree weather, but the chances are good that it will need to be at least serviced. It is an honest original machine that could easily be taken to the next level with some TLC. As our photos of the undercarriage will show, even the bottom of the car is relatively clean and solid with only some rust bubbling in a couple of the body areas that we have shown. The paint is driver quality and what you would expect from a driven car used throughout it's life in a suburban environment. There are some scratches, chips, assorted touch ups and blemishes, but no sign of prior body work or fillers of any kind. The glass and brightwork are good. As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. We have shots from every possible angle in slightly different lighting conditions with both tops in place and in roadster form. If you study our clear multiple images very carefully, you will see exactly what this vintage convertible is all about. With the low original mileage we feel that this example deserves serious consideration. It looks really good and it is a heck of a lot of fun to drive. The clear images of this vehicle, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and value of this vintage Mercedes-Benz 380SL than our words ever could.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers
Thu, Jan 14 2016The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler
Fri, Feb 23 2018Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.
