1992 Mercedes-Benz 600SEL is truly an intriguing automobile. Rare from birth - being
the first V12 engine sedan Mercedes-Benz ever created - this soon-to-be classic
example of Mercedes engineering stands apart from its peers due to its
impeccable original condition and alleged storied past. Its sticker price in
1992 is the inflation adjusted equivalent today of nearly $250,000!!! This unique beauty has obviously lived
a pampered existence its entire life SPANNING ONLY 99,446 ORIGINAL MILES!!! It
clearly shows. You will be hard pressed to find a lower mileage, unmolested
1992 “V12.” I am the third owner of the vehicle,
and I was lucky enough to be successful in uncovering its alleged past upon
purchasing the vehicle just over a year ago. Before acquiring my 600SEL, the
Memphis dealership provided me with the name of the previous owner – a Memphis
doctor who was a car buff, collected several rare Mercedes, and enjoyed racing
Porsches as a hobby. Upon contacting the doctor, he confirmed that he had
lovingly owned the car for over eleven years and replaced/repaired a countless
number of parts on the vehicle during his ownership. He also told me that he
had actually traded the car in roughly 1.5 years previously. The dealer confirmed this and admitted that
it had used the car as a management vehicle while maintaining it in inventory. What
the doctor additionally told me was quite interesting. The Memphis doctor was friends with a
Hollywood motion picture executive of a rather high order. This friend was
apparently involved with the Gone in Sixty Seconds franchise and had allowed
the use of his 600SEL in the filming of various interior shot scenes of “Johnny
B”’s car. After filming, the Hollywood friend had decided to part with the car,
and he in turn sold it to his doctor friend in Memphis. This is of course all
word of mouth, but I believe this all to be relatively accurate. Since purchasing my 600SEL, I have
spent countless hours and an inordinate amount of money to keep this vehicle in
tip-top shape. It’s been a true labor of love. The vehicle is one of the most
remarkable automobiles I have ever had the pleasure of piloting, and the
exclusive club of people that have shared the privilege would undoubtedly say
the same. The technology and creature comforts
that this car possesses is truly impressive provided its 22+ year age. Close to everything works! It has dual airbags, traction control, anti-lock brakes, power
tilt/sliding sunroof, adjustable sport/comfort suspension, active
button-controlled charcoal air filtration, power rear sunshade, power
tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power adjustable interior rear view mirror,
power folding exterior rear view mirrors, power operated rear parking guidance
rods, 4-door power assist closing doors, dual climate control, dual paned
glass, individually adjustable rear seats, heated 3 position memory and
orthopedically adjusting front seats, a concert sound system, in-dash telephone system, lighted rear seat
vanity mirrors, and the list goes on. I have also installed a Pioneer Avic-3
audio unit with navigation, traffic update, and rear view camera ability. The paint is original, and while not
without imperfections, shines brilliantly due to its consistent garaged state.
Living in the mild, California climate for nearly half of its life, and the mild
Memphis climate for the rest, the vehicle is rust free. The black leather
interior is beautiful. The nicely preserved, original burled walnut wood shines
brilliantly and looks great with the exception of some cracking on the shifter
console area. The bad news is that that vehicle has
recently entered “Limp Mode.” The car will start but appears to only be running
on half of its power. It will only respond to throttle beyond half-peddle, and
even then, the car is not suitable for daily travel given its illness.
Mercedes-Benz of Memphis has analyzed the car and suggested replacing the dual
ignition caps and rotors to the tune of $1,500 plus tax. However, I have reached
my fiscal limits with the car and decided that I have spent enough on this
beautiful creature already. It is eagerly awaiting a new owner – one that
possesses the dream to own what is surely destined to become one of the most
collectable Mercedes this side of a M100 engined 6.3 vintage. It deserves to be
restored to its true glory, and my sincerest wish is that someone will give it
a chance. Detailed Issues: Engine Limp Mode,
cracking center console wood, broken hood release handle (chord still can be
pulled open though), power trunk closer not closing completely, power aerial
antenna broken off, chipping paint on front bumper. Please feel free to e-mail me with
any questions you may have. I will be more than happy to provide further
information. Thank you very much for your interest. PLEASE SEE THE HAGERTY.COM WEBSITE TO VIEW WHAT THESE VEHICLES
ARE INSURED FOR. THIS VEHICLE IS EASILLY A CONDITION 3 CAR which is insured for

Mercedes confirms first AMG Sport models for Detroit
Thu, Nov 27 2014If you're looking for a sportier Mercedes-Benz but can't quite make the leap to a full-on AMG model, we've got some good news for you: the German automaker is about to expand its performance portfolio with a more accessible AMG Sport range. Set to bridge the gap between a standard Mercedes fitted with an AMG Sports package and a complete AMG performance variant, models in the the new AMG Sport line will feature upgraded engines, suspensions and brakes. They'll even have "all-wheel drive as standard in selected markets" (almost certain to include ours). Affalterbach has confirmed that the first two AMG Sport models will debut at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January. Though it's not saying which models will hit the stage, the teaser image above suggests that one of them will be the new MLC crossover coupe (or whatever it'll be called under the new nomenclature), while the other is almost certain to be the new C450 AMG Sport sedan. The launch of the AMG Sport line is part of the brand's effort to double its 2013 sales figures by 2017 to top over 40,000 units per year globally. With the AMG Sport line joining the standard AMG and AMG S models, the sub-brand is considerably expanding its product portfolio to cater to more customers and budgets, and will give Mercedes a vehicle range to challenge Audi S models and the BMW M Performance range. MERCEDES-AMG UPS THE ANTE - Growth strategy aimed at new market segments - Doubling of global sales targeted by 2017 - Premiere of the new AMG Sport models at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit Affalterbach - The sports car and high-performance brand Mercedes-AMG will achieve a new sales record of well over 40,000 units globally this year. Its entry into the compact segment and the broadening of its product range have provided the Affalterbach-based company with access to new customer groups and secured success in established and new markets. New models developed entirely in-house, such as the SLS AMG and, more recently, the Mercedes-AMG GT, consolidate the brand's success story and place it firmly on course for sustained growth. "We are proud of these successes, as they provide the basis for the next stage of our growth strategy, which we are now launching," explains Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
An assortment of emblematic supercars is headed to auction
Sun, Sep 18 2022Auction house RM Sotheby's is giving enthusiasts the chance to bid on the supercars that they had posters of when they were kids. It's organizing a live sale in Miami, Florida, in December 2022 that's limited to 60 high-end models built between the 1970s and the 2010s. The oldest car in the catalog is a V12-powered 1974 Jaguar E-Type, though keep in mind that only 20 of the 60 available slots have been filled so far. At the other end of the spectrum, the newest model is currently a 2014 BMW M5. If your automotive tastes are firmly anchored in the 1980s, there's a wide selection of cars to choose from such as a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition and a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo with a flat-nose conversion. If your heart belongs in the 1990s, RM's sale includes a 1990 Lamborghini LM 002, a 1995 Ferrari 512 M, and a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo. Bentley models and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR are among the newer classics. Carmakers weren't alone in pursuing speed, style, and extravagance in the 1980s; tuners fought hard for a piece of the pie as well, and RM's sale reflects that. Collectors will get the rare opportunity to bid on a number of pre-merger AMG models like a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL 5.0 (R107), a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 6.0 (C126) with a wide-body kit, and a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 6.0 (W126). BMW-based Alpina models are well represented, too: RM accepted a pair of 6 Series-based 1987 B7 coupes and a 3 Series-based B6 2.8. There are several slots left so it's not too late to submit your car. If you're a buyer, plan on being in Miami on December 9 and 10, 2022. We suggest clearing up space in your garage first: every car is offered with no reserve, so the selling price will be the highest bid. Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.
