This 1959 190SL was owned and maintained by the previous owner for over 25 years before I purchased it two years ago. The car is completely solid. The floors, inner fenders, and chassis have been cleaned and painted body color. I realize this is historically incorrect, but there is not thick undercoating hiding rust or rust repairs like many of the other 190s I have looked at. This car was a solid and clean example before any restoration began. I have over 25 years worth of receipts from my ownership as well as the previous owners for this car. The motor is in excellent running condition, makes excellent oil pressure (60psi at warm idle, pegs the gauge off idle), and can be driven away with confidence. I do not hesitate to drive this car out to dinner or out to car shows. It performs as it should around town and at highway speeds. The engine has been sorted and tweaked by a well known marque specialist. His contact information is available to serious buyers if you would like to consult with him on his impressions of the car. The M121 engine wears a pair of Weber Carburetors which make for easy starts and reliable performance. The car was also recently fitted with the smaller, lighter, high torque Bosch SR58X starter, installed with the correct factory spacer ring. The generator was freshened by a local specialist at the same time. The car has a correct water pump with servicable bearings installed. I also recently had a correct mechanical fuel pump with external primer handle rebuilt with a fresh diaphgram installed. The ignition system was rebuilt with Bosch components wherever possible. Many new items have been purchased from my local dealership, the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and other specialists. Parts include the steering wheel, horn ring, air intake boot, hose clamps, windshield, brake components, fuel hose, and many others. The brake master cylinder as well as all of the wheel cylinders were rebuilt and all brake adjusting fiber washers were replaced with genuine Mercedes Benz parts. Underneath the car, things like tie rods, suspension bushings, and joints have also been replaced. All greaseable points in the suspension have been serviced regularly. The car includes both tops. The black soft top is in excellent condition. The matching small window hardtop has recently been fitted with a new headliner. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with fresh leather and german square weave carpets. The car has a couple of blemishes which I have done my best to photograph. In the passenger side rear quarter panel there is a long scratch which has been touched up. In the passenger side lower front fender there is another scratch which has also been touched up. One of the headlight rings has a small ding in it. The passenger side rear bumper over-rider has a dent in it and the plating has flaked, so some corrosion has developed. It could be straightend and rechromed. I have not attempted to repair, repaint, or buff the scratches on the car. They were on the car when I purchased it. When kept clean and waxed they are not very noticable, and a professional may be able to minimize them even further. Also, the rear window rubber seal on the hardtop shows some cracking from age. This car is in very nice condition mechanically as well as cosmetically. The car has won several trophies at local cars shows during my ownership of the car. The car brings attention, smiles, and starts conversations wherever it goes. This is a car you can drive and enjoy as you continue to make it an even better car. I have driven and enjoyed this car
and look forward to meeting you and discussing the car. I encourage in
person viewings of the car. Please read the whole ad before contacting

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.
