A remarkable and rare example of a quite original 1966 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Factory Cabriolet that has been owned by the same collector car owner for the past 13 years.   It has been meticulously maintained and always garage kept and covered.  This car was purchased new in 1966 from Markham Motors LTD. Mercedes Benz in Bernardsville, N.J. and then came to Miami, FL in the early 1980's when purchased by a Miami attorney.   It was later purchased by a Miami collector in June 2000 and owned until present and currently has 77,478 original miles.   Many service receipts and full original owners manuals are present and included. 

This 220SE has been fully sorted and runs excellent.   The matching numbers late model year 2.3 liter 6-cylinder Engine runs smooth and powerful and the 4-speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly.  There is no fluid leaking or burning of oil.  The engine compartment has been highly detailed and is show ready. 
Most 220SE models came with a 2.2 liter 6 cylinder engine.    

This Cabriolet is a true work of art.  It has been recently refinished in its original factory color Bla"ugreen or Blue Green color code DB268 to an extremely high level that is near flawless.  The paint is so beautiful, deep and mirror like it's hard to take your eyes off of it.   The body lines are laser straight.  All of the brightwork is original and shows very nicely as you can see by the photos. There is some pitting around the upper door chrome trim and the rear bumper does show some dings.  I am missing the drivers side window top chrome trim.  I removed the passenger side as well but is present and included.  All four original hubcaps are free from scratches or dings and have brand new Falken Touring tires on them.  The tan convertible top and back window are in excellent condition as well.   There is a light scuff on the windshield in the drivers side left corner well out of the drivers view.  

The interior is as exceptional as the the exterior.  The original Bamboo color is the perfect contrast with the green exterior.  The front leather seats have been professionally recovered using GAHH German leather.  The original rear leather seat, door panels and convertible top boot are excellent original condition.   The carpet has been replaced and is perfect and new with custom made Calico colored coco mats.  The Zebrano wood dash is original but has been refinished in some needed areas and shows Beautifully.  The original steering wheel is in excellent condition with just a touch of lovely patina.  All of the chrome interior trim shines brightly and the headliner free from wear or discoloration.  The original Becker Europa II stereo works and sounds great with 2 high end speakers.  The manual antenna works perfectly as well.  

This may be one of the nicest W111 Cabriolets for sale well south of $100K and is sure to appreciate north of it.  Please call me with any questions you may have or for many more photos of this amazing 1966 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Cabriolet.

Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
