1988 Mercedes 560 SL

The 560SL, Mercedes has all the right offerings, bullet-proof reliability, satisfying power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that into  the V-8 R107. These Mercedes 560sl are a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived." Standard equipment included driver's side airbag and ABS brakes. Interior improvements for the 560SL included lovely burlwood accents, improved lateral seatback support, and a power passenger side mirror. 

This 1988 Mercedes 560SL has spent it's entire life as a weekend sports car. It is Signal Red with a palomino leather interior. (One of the best color combinations ever offered on the 560SL). The car is all original including the paint, bright work, leather interior  and carpeting. The car does have an upgraded Pioneer AM/FM CD radio installed and the original Becker radio comes with the car. Also included is the original first aid kit, (which is 100% complete) all the original dealer brochures and keys, and an almost impossible to find 1988 Mercedes Dealer album, dealer optioned chrome wheels, new German cloth top, new Bosch battery, new tires, original spare tire, Mercedes carpeted floor mats, hard top with the stand and a cover and a windscreen deflector that has the original storage bag. I am not a dealer but a car collector that looked at many 560SL before I purchased this car for my private collection. If you know Mercedes SL's then you know that the 1988 and the 1989 are the most sort after cars. This car 26 years ago sold for $61,130.00 That was a lot of money in 1988 as it still is today. As a weekend car this car has traveled less that 3,000 miles a year since new. It has always been garaged kept since new. It was originally sold at Princeton NJ Mercedes then spent the next 17 years in the NY Hamptons before I purchased it. These cars are increasing in value and are very sort after in the right color combination. This car being unrestored was judged at an AACA national meet and received a First Junior first time out.

The car is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. The car is also for sale locally and the seller reserved the right to end the auction at any time. The buyer will be responsible for all delivery/ shipping cost. The car has a clean title and will not be turned over to the buyer until all funds have cleared. I highly recommend that you come and test drive this beautiful example of this 560SL. The car is located in central New Jersey.

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari looks to reclaim old success with new manager

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. It was a rough year for Ferrari, and the Scuderia conducted its season-ending tests in Abu Dhabi this week with a view toward a fresh start in 2015 with new leaders and a new ace driver. Though plenty of other Formula One teams were disappointed with their finishes in 2014, Ferrari was perhaps the most eager to put this season in its rear-view mirror. The Scuderia finished a distant fourth in the Constructors standings with 216 points, well behind No. 1 Mercedes (701 points), and Ferrari failed to win a single race as the Silver Arrows dominated the grid. It was an especially bitter pill for a team that claims 16 Constructors championships and 15 Drivers titles – the most in history – and is the only surviving team from F1's first season, 1950. Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. Ferrari named Philip Morris executive Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. He replaced Marco Mattiacci, who held the job for only seven months after taking over for Stefano Domenicali, who resigned in April amid the Scuderia's early-season struggles. Phillip Morris (through its Marlboro brand) is a key Ferrari sponsor, and that played a role in Arrivabene's ascension. Still, he's no stranger to F1, and has been intimately involved in the Ferrari-Marlboro partnership. He also has served as the sponsors' representative on the FIA's F1 Commission since 2010. In a statement, new Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said: "We decided to appoint Maurizio Arrivabene because, at this historic moment in time for the Scuderia and for Formula One, we need a person with a thorough understanding not just of Ferrari, but also of the governance mechanisms and requirements of the sport." Arrivabene's background is primarily in marketing and communication, and most recently he held the title of vice president of consumer channel strategy and event marketing for Philip Morris. He has been with the company since 1997. Arrivabene now leads a team that's rife with change. Marchionne took over in October when longtime boss Luca di Montezemolo quit in a disagreement about Ferrari's future, and the company itself will be spun off from parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2015.
