This is a 1955 MERCEDES BENZ 190SL.  The V.I.N. plate, which was located on the firewall has been removed and is missing. This, I was told, was due to a financial dispute between the previous owner and the person hired to paint it. Apparently they had a major financial falling out and it is suspected that the VIN plate was removed in retaliation by the painter. The vehicle was in the process of being restored, by a relative and, for personal reasons the project lagged too long and was aborted. In any case the car should be considered a “Parts Car”. The engine does turn freely and does have compression on all cylinders. I have tried to photograph all included parts. All bumpers are like new and much were re-chromed. They are  still wrapped up with newspaper dated 1997. The interior, as you can see is in excellent condition with no tears. All door panels are also in great condition along with the convertible top. I have posted many pictures here in an attempt display the vehicle as best as possible. Please feel free to ask additional questions and request additional pictures. The car is located here in Woodbury, CT. I can deliver the car if within a 75 mile radius. Otherwise, the buyer needs to pay and make arrangements  for the transportation and delivery. I am more than willing to help at this end. Additional pictures on request and I can be reached by calling 203-598-8192.Regards,

Karl

I have added 2 YouTube videos to help address some of the questions concerning rust , undercoating and work that has been done. Please go to youtube and performa search for " MVI 1459 Splitwindow Coupe" and

 "MVI 1460 Splitwindow Coupe ". I am being asked whether there are parts missing. Yes. I am sure that there are parts missing and others that need to be replaced. For example the front grill, the chrome strips over the wings (above the wheel)  and 1 tie rod is also missing. This is definitely a car that needs someone experienced in the art of restoration.  We are presently looking for any documentation that belongs to the car. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile please assume that the only document included will be a bill of sale.  This is why we are selling this car as a "Parts Car".
Thank you

German automakers' stocks fall as EU investigates collusion

Mon, Jul 24 2017

BERLIN/FRANKFURT - Volkswagen will hold a special supervisory board meeting on Wednesday to discuss allegations that German carmakers operated a wide-ranging cartel, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. The European Commission said on Saturday antitrust regulators were investigating a possible German auto industry cartel following a tipoff. At stake is whether carmakers VW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes and BMW used German auto industry committees to discuss pricing of components and technologies, and whether such talks constituted anti-competitive behavior. A VW spokesman confirmed an extraordinary supervisory board meeting would be held on Wednesday but declined to give details. German auto stocks took a hit in early trading on Monday, weighed down by uncertainty over possible antitrust fines after European regulators said they were probing cartel allegations. VW shares were down 2.8 percent, with Daimler and BMW down 3.4 percent and 2.5 percent respectively, lagging the blue-chip DAX index, which was 0.7 percent lower. Exane BNP Paribas automotive analyst Stuart Pearson said little was known about the allegations, but no signs had emerged about fixing prices charged to consumers. "More ugly details could yet emerge, leaving German manufacturers - and the EU auto sector - still firmly in the sin bin for now," he added. The car industry has been hit with billion-euro fines on both sides of the Atlantic in recent years for cartels related to various parts such as lighting systems, engine coolers and bearings. The industry's record on exhaust emissions is also under close scrutiny after VW admitted in September 2015 to cheating U.S. diesel emissions tests and investigations have shown many vehicles exceeding pollution limits outside of testing labs. On Friday, German magazine Der Spiegel said VW, its Audi and Porsche brands, Mercedes-owner Daimler and BMW may have colluded to fix prices on components, including of diesel emissions treatment systems, using industry committees. Spiegel said the talks also led to the use of smaller tanks containing AdBlue, a urea-based liquid needed to help filter nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel emissions. Larger tanks would have been more expensive, the magazine said. Auto industry experts, however, have said the effectiveness of exhaust filtering systems does not depend on the size of an AdBlue Tank. BMW, for example, has equipped its cars with urea injection as well as a NOx-storage catalytic converter.

2020 Aston Martin DB11 tops this month's list of discounts

Thu, May 7 2020

When we drove the Aston Martin DB11 for the first time, we said that it "stands out" and that "it delivers on the promise of Aston's potential for a successful second century." But we also said, "There must be a reason to buy the Aston beyond the fact that it turns heads at the country club." In case its stunning good looks and 600-horsepower 5.2-liter twin-turbo V8 weren't enough to grab your attention, how about a discount of nearly $20,000? Right now, buyers of the 2020 Aston Martin DB11 are paying, on average, $182,435. According to data provided to Autoblog from Truecar, that's a discount of $19,385 from the British coupe's average suggested retail price of $201,820. That's the largest discount on a new car in America this month, based on the dollar amount off the car's sticker price. The next biggest discount is for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Buyers of the German brand's range-topper are scoring an average discount of $13,816. While that's a much smaller number than the DB11, it represents 13.5% off the S-Class's average retail price of $101,151 versus the 9.6% discount of the Aston Martin. In fact, the Benz's percentage discount means it's the eighth-best deal in America overall. If you favor a different flavor of German luxury, the 2019 Audi A8 isn't far behind with an average discount of $12,701 representing 12.5% of its $101,762 average sticker.
