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. We invite questions and comments and there is NO RESERVE on this auction!

Aston wants to build DBX on its new platform, not Mercedes'
Mon, May 18 2015Aston Martin is proceeding with plans to launch the DBX as its first production crossover. It just can't say at this point what it will be based on. Speaking with Automotive News Europe, Aston's new CEO Andy Palmer indicated that basing the DBX on a Mercedes SUV platform would not be its first choice because they "clearly sit in a very different space to the one we want to go" with the DBX. Instead, the company's first choice would be to build the crossover atop the new platform it's developing for its sports cars. "It just depends how high off the ground it could go," said Palmer. "I don't exclude the possibility of using some [Mercedes] parts, but I would say very much the primary route is our platform." The prospect of building an Aston SUV on Mercedes architecture – namely that of the GL-Class – has been on the table for some time now. The Lagonda SUV concept it showcased at the Geneva show in 2009 was based on the GL, and the two automakers have been forging a tightening alliance in the years since. The British automaker's next-generation engine is to be built by Mercedes-AMG, and it is expected to source other components from the German automaker as well. For its part, Mercedes has been taking a sportier approach with its latest crossovers, as demonstrated by the GLE Coupe that debuted before the more conventional version and the Concept GLC Coupe that previewed the GLK's replacement in Shanghai last month. Aston Martin, on the other hand, is building a new sports car platform that will underpin its next generation of luxury GTs, replacing the long-serving VH architecture that has served for decades as the basis for its entire model line. Perhaps the most surprising of ANE's report, though, is that Aston seems to be proceeding with plans to build the DBX apparently without even knowing what platform it will use.
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.
