In 1989, Mercedes-Benz retired its classic Type 107 bodyshell that had been used for a succession of roadsters for for what was nearly the preceding 20 years, replacing it with an equally appealing, sleek new design in the modern idiom. This new Type 129 body style was used for three different engine types: 6.0-liter V12, 5.0-liter V8 and 3.0-liter straight six. As installed in the 300SL, the fuel-injected six was available in 12 and 24-valve versions, the latter being 41 horsepower more powerful at 231bhp and delivering significantly improved performance.

As one might expect, these new SL luxury sports cars were designed to be world leaders in their class and were lavishly equipped in the best Mercedes-Benz tradition. The W129 found a market with the rich and famous, including Princess Diana, who got a 500SL in 1992 to replace her XJS—an event which marked the first time a member of the British royal family acquired a car not built in their own Kingdom. This particular car is no different, having always enjoyed a pampered, well-maintained and always garaged existence, most recently as part of an extensive and significant collection valued well into the millions.

Finished in Slate Grey over tan hides, this 300SL left Stuttgart in September 1990, equipped with the more powerful 24-valve straight six and fully loaded with both tops. Few more advanced or well appointed cars could be bought when the purchaser of this SL drove off the lot: automatic climate control, 10-way powered seats with 3 memory settings, passenger side SRS airbag and automatic pop-up roll bar system were all standard fare.

Having traveled just 118,000 miles since new, this fantastic example is truly a head-turner that still looks fantastically sporty and luxurious despite being more than 20 years old and used as a dailly driver. The exterior is near perfect, the body straight with excellent panel fits and gaps and no dings or evidence of body work to speak of. The finish is fantastic. The same is true of the interior, the rich leather seats showing only the most normal wear, interior panels and dash are all flawless with no cracks. Hard top works as should as well as soft top functions as should . The plastic windows in the soft do need to be replaced. Mechanically the car is strong and solid, indicative of the careful use it has received over its lifetime. The engine starts effortlessly, idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly through each of the gears. The 3.0L Inline 6 Cylinder engine puts out plenty of power and has the added benefit of having the lowest average maintenance costs and the best fuel economy of all of the R129 SLs. Recent work done to the car includes: Rebuilt power system for soft top, rebuilt Instrument Cluster, rebuilt ac control unit, and service.

The R129 Series SL is considered by many in the collector car world to be the last standard production Mercedes that will ever be considered a classic. With these finishes, low mileage and an excellent provenance, this example is as fine as they come and will undoubtedly provide many happy miles for its next owner.

Here is a video clip of the actual car...Sorry its so dirty we just came back from a vacation. The car will be fully detailed.

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.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
