The Toy Barn of Dublin Presents:

1983 Mercedes 380SL

The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this absolutely beautiful 1983 Mercedes 380SL, in stunning original condition, and ready for it's new owner! This roadster is simply gorgeous, and was a recent trade-in here at our store out of a private collection, towards a new 911. This is a fantastic example indeed, and a great opportunity for someone looking for a fully documented and meticulously kept, low-mileage Mercedes. We have a full 3-ring binder with loaded with receipts, ownership history, maintenance records, and items of interest including an original 1983 Mercedes brochure. I have not had a more comprehensive ensemble of history and information on a vintage Mercedes like this. From 40k miles to 45k miles, there was over $7,600 in parts and labor spent; TOO MANY DETAILS TO LIST!!! The previous owner was very meticulous, and upgraded or replaced anything he saw fit. Not only that, but he also collected spare parts and put together a "spares kit" of replacement parts to pass along to the next owner.

Condition wise, this SL is absolutely beautiful. The Anthracite Grey finish is beautiful, with only light wear evident, no damage or major blemishes that take away from it's stunning appearance. The original Mercedes wheels were replaced with NEW chrome OEM wheels, which are in excellent condition; no curb rash or damage. The tires are like new, still have ample tread remaining as well, and overall the exterior of this Mercedes is fantastic. Inside, the Grey leather interior looks excellent, as pictured below. There are no major blemishes or signs of wear, and overall this is one of the finest interiors I've seen on a droptop Mercedes of this age. The top is in excellent condition as well and was recently replaced. Out on the road, the car runs, drives, and feels awesome. We just serviced it here at our Performance Center, and I'd be glad to provide any information to help answer questions for you.

This is a get-in-and-go Mercedes, ready for the shows, the street, or the collection. Though in stunning condition, this is of course a 30+ year old car, as I'm sure you understand. There are a few various imperfections upon close scrutiny, but overall it is absolutely gorgeous. It is being sold as-is. CALL ME FOR MORE DETAILS!!!

This 380SL will be sold and include the following:

Full ownership history
Full Service documentation
Several Miscellaneous extras
Original Brochure
Hard Top
MUCH MORE!

Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.

France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
