1968 Mercedes-benz 200-series on 2040-cars
Zenia, California, United States
For Sale by Owner is an extremely rare, unrestored, extremely low mileage totally original and unmolested 1968
Mercedes Benz 230S Heckflosse Sedan. This is the last year of the sought after Heckflosse or "Fintail" sedans. It
is my understanding that Mercedes intended to end production of the Heckflosse sedans in 1967 but had a few frames
and body panels left over and had a very limited production of 62 cars produced world-wide in 1968. This
particular car was sold new by European Motors on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. The original owner took
deliver of the car in Milan in September, 1967. I have all the original invoices including the European Delivery
Order, the dealer's invoice, the bill of sale from the Mercedes Factory data cards and stamps. This car has never
left California, comes with its original black plates and current registration and is totally rust free. To the
best of my knowledge and experts who have looked at it, all the body panels are original. Please take a look at
the pictures, they speak for themselves. This is a radio delete car, 4 speed full synchro manual transmission on
the column. All gauges work as they should including the clock and the cigarette lighter. The car cruises easily
at 60 - 65 mph and stops very well. It is currently located in Laguna Beach California, is always garaged and
needs nothing. I have driven it up Highway 1 to Santa Barbara a couple of times. It does not smoke or leak any
fluids and idles like a new car, starts on the first turn without fail. I do not have documentation on mileage but
have been advised by experts that it is accurate. Tires are excellent, have original jack, original seat belts in
the back and he front. I believe the spare to be original, all other tires are nearly new. I have a picture of
the runk included with the original liner removed. Can be seen by appointment.
This car has never been restored, it is original, all lenses are original, chrome is outstanding and I believe my
asking price accurately reflects the condition of this rare sedan. Cars are only new once and this is as close to
an original Heckflosse that I have ever seen. There may be other out there, I just haven't seen them. I have seen
restored Heckflosse sedans in Monterey during car week with 6 figure asking prices. Although a beautifully
restored, expensive and stunning, I prefer original unmolested well cared for cars

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The 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 has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere 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.
