History:
VIN #12104010022211.
Mercedes Benz production records show that 3792 190 SL’s, Chassis nos. 10019740 through 10023531, were made in 1961. So this is a car built in 1961. It was first sold in April 1962 by a dealer in Portland, Oregon and was serviced by the dealership until February 1963 at which time the car had 15,421 miles. Current owner purchased the car in 1982 from a California woman through a private auto mechanic when it had 50,800 miles. It was reported that the car was garaged for a number of years following the death of the husband and this accounted for the low mileage. The engine was overhauled at 86,766 miles in 1987. In 2004 the car was stripped bare (no rust was evident) and repainted (in the original color) and the bumpers rechromed. The seats and carpeting have been redone and the convertible top and its leather cover have also been replaced. In other words, no effort has been spared to maintain the car in its original condition including original solex dual carburetors, clock and Becker radio. The odometer reading now is 150,216.
Documents available: Production card, owner’s manual, Parts Catalog, Service Books, Becker radio manual, service records.
Here is a video of the car doing a cold start.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
