Two registered owner 81,000mi survivor 1971 280SL Pagoda roadster that has been very well maintained and serviced through-out its ownership. I am the third owner. Many collectors will tell you this year is the most desirable, as it’s the final year of production for this iconic W113 car. All numbers match. The second owner had the car since 1975 (40 years). The vehicle was bought in the Albany NY area at a respected area Mercedes dealership, and stayed here its entire life. However, NO salt and winters for this beauty. Garaged and dust covered every winter. In fact, I was also told by the second owner that he only drove it on nice days so it has seen minimal “weather” in its life. It was never his everyday driver. He verifies mileage is accurate. All maintenance was done on a regular basis which accounts for its very good original condition. All glass is in excellent condition. Chrome is in excellent original condition and shines right up. The paint is in overall good shape (drivers 2) with some small chips here and there… minimal. As you can see from the pictures the paint shines beautifully. The car has had one repaint in correct color (code)…”years ago” (1980s) according to the long term owner. Other than that the car is original. The tires were new in 2013 and have minimal miles so that is one less thing you have to worry about. The trunk is clean and has what appears to be the original spare and spare cover! Factory manual and tools are included… see pictures! All the gauges appear to work. Original Becker radio works!! It is missing the antenna. Car has the coveted original factory air (which blows cold, and compressor comes on) and the rarer / desirable 4 speed transmission. The soft top is original and in very nice shape… plastic window is clear and intact. Goes up and down without issue and fits properly in the storage compartment. Undercarriage is very clean and solid… rocker covers were removed and no evidence of rust was found. Stainless steel exhaust is in very good shape… but the tail pipe extenders are missing. The plastic bezel piece around the passenger side headlight is cracked in half… one piece is on the car .The interior is original and in overall good shape. Seats look good with no age cracking of black leather, but there is a small tear by seat adjustment lever driver’s side, and a small tear in back of driver’s seat. There is an approx. 1.25 inch round hole in passenger seat. The seat levers function properly. The majority of the rug is very good. There is some wear of the original rubber matting on the drivers side. The rest of it is complete without rips or tears. Dash is complete and its paint and chrome are very nice. The wood trim is all there but could use a light sanding and refinish. The heater and air controllers (knobs ) are missing but you can still run the air if you wish. Wipers work. Horn works. Steering wheel is in PERFECT shape. The dash has 2 small hairline cracks (not all that noticeable) in the leather but otherwise looks very presentable. Since the car was garaged its entire life there is no sun fading typically associated with convertibles. The pagoda top is in very good condition… fits perfectly with no gaps…. weather stripping is very nice. It is numbers matching with the car, and its paint is excellent. It has the optional chrome stripping along the top. The headliner is intact with no rips, tears or sags, but does have some stains to be removed (see pictures). The top comes off with ease with the aforementioned Mercedes tool. I have given what I believe to be a fair and honest assessment of this car. It is not perfect but it is still in great shape and has received many compliments at the shop!! We all know what these cars are selling for when in drivers #1 condition so here is a chance to buy one at a reasonable reserve. You can enjoy it now, turn many heads (and you will) and a few years down the road fully restore if you desire. You know what they say though… they are only original once!! The car has never needed a restoration because it has been so well taken care of! The car is rock solid.…

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet fetches record $1.4 million at auction
Mon, Oct 9 2017Alas, G-Wagen fans: The last available 2017 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet has sold to a private Belgian buyer, with all proceeds to benefit the children's sports charity the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The price tag at the Zoute Sale at Bonhams was a record ˆ1.2 million, or about $1.4 million. We previously dubbed the luxury off-roader " the ultimate safari machine" for its super-extravagant features. Its soft top can be raised or lowered electronically, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment (wouldn't be a Landaulet without that, now would it, Jeeves?). What's more, the two rear seats can be fully reclined, with leg rests extending from below, and with access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD screen and heated, cooled and illuminated (!) cup holders. As it has the number 650 in its name, however, the Landaulet also features a twin-turbocharged V12 that generates 630 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Bringing up the G-Wagen part of the bargain is a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, that sends power to solid portal axles front and rear, which move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. The grandest G sold Friday in Brussels was reportedly straight from the factory and one of only 99 to be built. No G650 Landaulets were sold in the United States. The Bonhams Motoring Department's fifth annual Zoute Sale also saw the purchase of a 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC Coupe for ˆ805,000 euros ($945,000), the second most-valuable lot of the sale. Related Video:
