For sale is one very beautiful Rust Free Original 1972 Mercedes Benz 280SE 4.5 200-Series Sedan. This vehicle has been very well cared for and maintained by both of its former owners as we are now the third documented owner of the vehicle. The original books are included with the vehicle to document this. The original Mercedes Ivory color paint on the vehicle is in excellent condition for the age being nearly 100% original showing minimal age wear being smooth and bright. The original Palomino color interior of the car is nearly 100% original and is in over all superb condition for the age as the attached photos will attest to. The Original MB-Tex fabric on the seats is 100% free from rips, tears or wear. The engine compartment is very clean as is the trunk area. The only major thing that was changed on the car from that which was original was the rear end which was changed to a 408 ratio rear end which has higher gears which actually makes the car a bit more responsive when driving around town. The former owner lived on a hilly terrain and needed the higher end gears to get around a bit easier. If the new owner prefers to have the original lower geared rear end re-installed we will swap it back out at no additional charge but the car should really be seen and test driven in person to see just how nice it drives with the more responsive high geared rear end. If you are looking for a well maintained well built collector type automobile that can be driven as a daily driver while still accruing in value at the same time then look no further! This is the car for you! We have had this car in our collection for awhile and have finally decided that we have not driven it enough to justify it taking up the space that is desperately needed for additional potential acquisitions. The car has been sitting for a little while now as stated so it will need to be driven a bit to really smooth out its previously confirmed quality performance. The car is being listed locally for sale as well so we reserve the right to end the sale of the car at any time if necessary. If you have any further questions about the car or if you would like to make an appointment to see or drive this beautiful classic Mercedes Benz please feel free to email us or give us a call at 805 402-6836. Please note that the new owner will be responsible for either picking up the vehicle or making arrangements with their local shipping service to have the vehicle picked up as well as taking 100% full financial responsibility for all costs involved in shipping the vehicle.

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.

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.
