This car turns heads - literally.

How many cars have you driven where pedestrians on sidewalks near the car shout out "I like your car!" It has happened to me repeatedly and only in this car - most recently yesterday!

If you are the type to look for a truly great car at a great price, congratulations, you just found it.

I am the fourth owner of this car and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it for the past 9 years. I gave up my '98 Corvette Convertible to buy it. My wife thought I was nuts at the time, but you know why I did it - it is a classic all the way. Quiet, smooth and one of the best looking cars in history.

It is in excellent condition and doesn’t need anything. Carfax and title are clean and the car has never been tampered with (no accidents with the last two owners and according to carfax, none with the first ones either). I just turned 115k miles and it has A/C, PW, PS, PB, CC, original AM/FM/Cass (it was a $425 extra when new!), leather and 2 tops – hardtop and convertible. Ceiling mounted hardtop removal rack is included. Mechanically excellent - you don't even know the engine is running when you are stopped at a traffic light. A/C is cold and has been updated to todays refrigerant.

As you can tell, I am not a dealer. If you want to go to a dealer and pay their profit and have no history on the car, I am OK with that - good luck. On the other hand, if you want to talk to the person who has maintained and driven the car for almost a decade, I am he.

The car was imported from Germany to San Francisco and sold by a dealer in San Rafael California. I bought it from a woman neighbor who moved East in the 90’s. It has never seen a winter and has no rust (including undercarriage). Best I can tell, it has always been garaged. While I owned it, I did have it painted (original color) and it is gorgeous. I have the original window sticker ($41,302), owner’s literature and multiple keys. This car has been meticulously maintained for its entire life. I can guarantee that this car is one of the nicest cars you will find of this vintage and the absolute best color combo.

Give me a call if you are interested – and serious - and I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know - 610 517 6069. You are welcome to come and see and drive the car. If you see it, you will buy it. For those that don't do this, you may get a shot at it with the auction, but I will end the auction early if I get a reasonable offer. I put a very reasonable reserve on it - unfortunately I must sell it and priced it to sell in the first listing. I know there are some crazy prices out there - this is not one. Don't miss this car - I almost did when I bought it 9 years ago and really glad I got it.

XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth

Thu, 01 May 2014

While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
