Vehicle Description

Just arrived is this incredible, all original, and ultra-low mileage example of the R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, in the most sought after trim and color combination (Signal Red and Cream Beige leather). This SL has had two owners since new, and was first used as a summer-only car in Ontario, Canada by the original owner, who then sold it to his neighbor a few years later (2001), where it became a winter-only car in Naples, Florida.

As a person who has dealt in scores of these cars over the years, both privately and working for a company that specializes in them - I can say without reservation or hesitation that this is the finest example I have ever seen.  It is an absolute show car, and I always err on the side of caution when describing these cars to people - preferring that a buyer be pleasantly surprised rather than let down.  That said, I can simply find nowhere to fault this incredibly preserved machine, from the condition of the paint, to the perfect leather and wood, to the immaculate carpet, to the wear-free buttons and switches, to the no cracks on the dash, to the supple original soft top with crystal clear windows, to the drive quality, and to the remarkable maintenance its had to be in such excellent mechanical health. It literally drives like new, and shows no leaks or trouble of any kind, with cold AC, proper heat, excellent vacuum control, and no issues anywhere.

Being originally sold in Canada, this car - while otherwise identical in every way to a US model - has a speedometer/odometer in kilometers instead of miles, and a temperature gauge in Celsius.  It just turned 60,024 KM, which works out to 37,297 miles.  The KM reading makes it a prime candidate for export to Europe, or if it is sold to the US, we can have our workshopdo a documented speedometer/odometer change (if desired) to switch from the KM to miles. 

It has the original hard top in excellent condition, and has been freshly serviced by our Bosch-certified workshop. It includes all factory keys and books, including two masters and one valet. It has had no paintwork anywhere, no body rust on the top or bottom (never driven in snow, and the last owner swears never driven in rain!), and the factory wheels are in stellar condition all around, with fresh Goodyear tires. This car is incredibly original, down to the factory spare tire and wheel, first aid box, and still-sealed toolkit! If you're looking for one to collect or drive very sparingly as it appreciates, then look no further - this is the right car. Phone us at (239) 273-1150 or (239) 261-3600 for sales information.

    Mercedes S-Class Cabrio caught nearly naked

    Thu, Feb 19 2015

    The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a handsome car, and its new two-door variant is positively dashing. Considering that, did you really think Mercedes would shake things up when it finally came time to drop the top on its flagship luxury model? Nope, neither did we. This is the S-Class Cabriolet, and from the beltline down, it's basically the same fixed-roof car we tested back in October – same grille, same headlights, same twin character lines in the profile. This is not a bad thing. We're betting it'll wear very similar taillights to the S-Class Coupe, although it's difficult to tell on the more heavily camo'd example of the luxurious droptop. Differences, meanwhile, are kept to the absolute minimum. The windshield looks more aggressively raked, and the inclusion of a canvas roof has softened the Coupe's svelte profile, but other than that, there aren't many changes at all. Expect the S-Class Sedan and Coupe's engine lineup to inform the powertrain strategy for the Cabriolet, meaning a base S550 with a 4.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. It's unclear if AMG variants will be offered, although we wouldn't bet against it. Our spies report that the S-Class Cabrio will saunter into dealers later this year, eager to steal the lunch money of the aging BMW 6 Series Convertible. We're betting on a European auto show debut, so keep an eye open at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. If not there, Frankfurt seems like a likely destination for the new droptop.

    Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles

    Mon, 05 Aug 2013

    The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
    Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.

    Lewis Hamilton accepts Vettel's apology, has 'utmost respect'

    Thu, Jul 6 2017

    SPIELBERG, Austria - Triple world champion Lewis Hamilton said he still had "the utmost respect" for Formula One title rival Sebastian Vettel after accepting a public apology from the Ferrari driver on Thursday. Speaking to reporters at a crowded Austrian Grand Prix news conference, the two men addressed a "road rage" controversy that has dominated the headlines since the June 25 race in Azerbaijan. "I still have the utmost respect for him as a driver and will continue to race him hard through the rest of the season," declared Hamilton, who said at the time that Vettel had "disgraced himself" by driving into him in Baku. He said Vettel called him on the Monday after the race and then texted an apology, which he accepted. The championship leader had driven into the back of Hamilton's Mercedes while both were following the safety car in first and second places, waiting for it to return to the pits. Vettel then pulled alongside, gesticulating angrily, before banging wheels. The German, a four times world champion, later accused Hamilton of "brake-testing" him by slowing suddenly. The car's telemetry subsequently showed that was not the case and Hamilton said the accusation was one he particularly wanted correcting. Vettel was handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty, and finished fourth. He was then summoned to a hearing in Paris last Monday where the governing body declared the matter closed. Initially reluctant to dwell on the matter, saying he did not want to "pump this up more than it is already", the Ferrari driver on Thursday repeated the written apology. "It was the wrong move to drive alongside him and hit his tyres," he said. "I don't think there was any bad intention (by Hamilton). I don't think he actually brake-tested me. I was upset and over-reacted. I am not proud of the moment." Hamilton, 14 points behind Vettel after eight races, missed out on victory in Baku after a headrest worked loose and he had to pit. He finished fifth. Before Baku, the two world champions had made much of their mutual respect and the budding "bromance" seemed to be back on. "It's nice to hear that we are able to move forward," Vettel said. "I think the respect we have for each other on and off track helps us in this regard." Reporting by Alan Baldwin Related Video:
