This 1959 190SL was owned and maintained by the previous owner for over 25 years before I purchased it two years ago. The car is completely solid. The floors, inner fenders, and chassis have been cleaned and painted body color. I realize this is historically incorrect, but there is not thick undercoating hiding rust or rust repairs like many of the other 190s I have looked at. This car was a solid and clean example before any restoration began. I have over 25 years worth of receipts from my ownership as well as the previous owners for this car. The motor is in excellent running condition, makes excellent oil pressure (60psi at warm idle, pegs the gauge off idle), and can be driven away with confidence. I do not hesitate to drive this car out to dinner or out to car shows. It performs as it should around town and at highway speeds. The engine has been sorted and tweaked by a well known marque specialist. His contact information is available to serious buyers if you would like to consult with him on his impressions of the car. The M121 engine wears a pair of Weber Carburetors which make for easy starts and reliable performance. The car was also recently fitted with the smaller, lighter, high torque Bosch SR58X starter, installed with the correct factory spacer ring. The generator was freshened by a local specialist at the same time. The car has a correct water pump with servicable bearings installed. I also recently had a correct mechanical fuel pump with external primer handle rebuilt with a fresh diaphgram installed. The ignition system was rebuilt with Bosch components wherever possible. Many new items have been purchased from my local dealership, the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and other specialists. Parts include the steering wheel, horn ring, air intake boot, hose clamps, windshield, brake components, fuel hose, and many others. The brake master cylinder as well as all of the wheel cylinders were rebuilt and all brake adjusting fiber washers were replaced with genuine Mercedes Benz parts. Underneath the car, things like tie rods, suspension bushings, and joints have also been replaced. All greaseable points in the suspension have been serviced regularly. The car includes both tops. The black soft top is in excellent condition. The matching small window hardtop has recently been fitted with a new headliner. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with fresh leather and german square weave carpets. The car has a couple of blemishes which I have done my best to photograph. In the passenger side rear quarter panel there is a long scratch which has been touched up. In the passenger side lower front fender there is another scratch which has also been touched up. One of the headlight rings has a small ding in it. The passenger side rear bumper over-rider has a dent in it and the plating has flaked, so some corrosion has developed. It could be straightend and rechromed. I have not attempted to repair, repaint, or buff the scratches on the car. They were on the car when I purchased it. When kept clean and waxed they are not very noticable, and a professional may be able to minimize them even further. Also, the rear window rubber seal on the hardtop shows some cracking from age. This car is in very nice condition mechanically as well as cosmetically. The car has won several trophies at local cars shows during my ownership of the car. The car brings attention, smiles, and starts conversations wherever it goes. This is a car you can drive and enjoy as you continue to make it an even better car. I have driven and enjoyed this car
and look forward to meeting you and discussing the car. I encourage in
person viewings of the car. Please read the whole ad before contacting

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
BMW negotiates Daimler alliance, buys out car-service partner Sixt
Mon, Jan 29 2018Sixt sells its stake in DriveNow car-sharing to BMW BMW in talks with Daimler to combine car-sharing Combining car-sharing business to aid robotaxi plans FRANKFURT — Germany's BMW has bought out partner Sixt from their joint venture DriveNow, paving the way for a broader car-sharing and driverless taxi alliance with Daimler to compete against Uber and Lyft. Car rental company Sixt said on Monday it would generate an extraordinary pre-tax profit of about 200 million euros ($248 million) in 2018 from the sale of the DriveNow stake to BMW for 209 million euros. "With DriveNow as a wholly-owned subsidiary, we have all options for continued strategic development of our services," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW's board member for Digital Business Innovation. "Our experience with mobility services supports our development of future autonomous, electrified and connected fleets," he said, adding that BMW aims to have 100 million customers for "premium mobility services" by 2025. The Sixt deal comes as BMW moves closer to a deal to combine its car-sharing services with Daimler's Car2Go, a person familiar with the discussions told Reuters last week. The German carmakers want to build a joint business that includes car sharing, ride-hailing, electric vehicle charging, and digital parking services, a senior executive at one of the companies said on Monday. Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW declined comment on the status of potential talks on their car-sharing business. "This is speculation, we do not comment," BMW said. The senior executive, who declined to be named because the plan is not public, said: "This will create an ecosystem which can also be used for managing robotaxi (driverless taxi) fleets." BMW would contribute its ParkNow and ChargeNow businesses to the common company, the executive said, adding that there were still differences of opinion over the valuation of Car2Go. The market for ride-hailing services currently makes up around 33 percent of the global taxi market, and could grow eightfold to $285 billion by 2030, once autonomous robotaxis are in operation, Goldman Sachs said in a recent research note. BMW and Daimler are now working on developing autonomous cars, vehicles which could enable them to up-end the market for taxi and ride-hailing services.
