1961 Mercedes-benz Sl-class on 2040-cars
Eugene, Oregon, United States
For more details email me at: clotildekelliher@netzero.net .
Up for consideration is a beautiful 1961 190sl. Privately owned by same owner for over 30 years. All maintenance
and upkeep always performed by local Mercedes Benz. This beauty has been driven lightly, mainly to car shows. It
is a multiple year 2nd place winner at the Concourse de Elegance (Forest Grove). It was fully restored 20 years
ago and has been stored with care always inside and away from the outside elements.
It is complete with a restored hard top (white), however, the hard top needs a new headliner.
I inherited this vintage classic from my father who put great care and time into this 190.
The title is clean and clear and my mother will sign off on it, (she lives close by) as it is in safe-keeping- it
was recently transferred out of my father’s name.
It also includes a cover, specifically for this car.
It starts, sounds, runs, drives beautifully.
The body is straight and clean.
The interior is clean and very well maintained.
Black Leather seats. (Very comfortable!)
Most of the original tools included.
Time does not permit me to show this car in events and I believe it is time for the 190 to find a good home with
someone who appreciates it’s rare value and beauty as a Mercedes Classic.

SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler 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.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
