This '89 560 SL is a two owner car that was leased to the original owner by Dana Mercedes Benz on the 10th of
November 1988. The car was bought by the Lessor at the lease end when the car had less than 2,000 miles. It was
kept in an air conditioned and heated garage from the date it was bought until it was traded to Ross Mercedes in
1996. The car at that time had 7700 miles on the odometer. The car was purchased by its second owner from Ross
Mercedes in March of 1996 and the car continued to have been stored in a climate controlled environment, detailed
weekly by hand and driven very seldom as the present mileage would indicate, 13944, some 5200 miles in 20 odd
years. This car had Dayton Wire Wheels installed when it was purchased by the first owner and those wheels (in
absolutely perfect condition) remain on the car today with original equipment Pirelli Radials installed which are
also perfect. The original Mercedes wheels are with the car, also in perfect condition and have been stored in the
boxes in which the Dayton's were delivered and will come with the car when purchased. This car has not had any body
damage or paintwork ever, not even a touch up and the paint is virtually perfect, the interior is perfect, the
chrome is perfect, no rust on the underside or anywhere for that matter. All of the glass is original and perfect
with all Mercedes markings in place. The chocolate Mercedes canvas top is original to the car also is perfect and
has all the markings in place for documentation. The convertible top has remained up on the car with the hard top
stored on a MB stand with cover. The car also comes with a Mercedes Benz Factory issue car cover and stand where
the hard top was kept when stored and not in use. The unique thing about this car is the way it was stored in a
climate controlled garage, so all of the belts, hoses, seals, insulation materials, rubber door seals, hood seals
etc. and the convertible top are all original to the car and all virtually look brand new.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.

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.
