Pristine, 50k Miles, Original And Complete Service Records, Showroom Condition! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
This is one very special 560sl in a most desirable color combination of white and palomino. With the photographs I have tried to show a cross section of the car so that one may appreciate it's impeccable condition. I know this car is not for everyone. Some may not want to spend this much money, others may want to find lesser examples and hope to restore. What you see here is a car which needs nothing! It has been completely sorted and brought to the condition as it was when it left the assembly line! Further, this SL comes with a complete service history; a notebook which begins with the original window sticker, the buyer's purchase order, and the buyer's handwritten notes as to how to care for his new car! Very special! The original owner was meticulous. The service records document oil changes at every 5000 mile interval, as well as the 15K service and the 30k service, and now the more recent 50K service! The stack of records is several inches thick, and is in a leather portfolio (see photos). The car also comes with all of the original manuals and service booklet and the original silver service plate. The body has absolutely no rust and no evidence of any body work. I recently did the 50K service. My mechanic - a German, certified Mercedes Benz mechanic, and one who knows these car like the back of his hand (having worked on them for 30 + years) - was instructed to take care of 'anything and everything' showing wear and tear after 50K miles and 27 years! Hence, we replaced all 4 shock absorbers, brake rotors and brake pads, fuel injectors, hoses, tie rods, spindles, mounts, bushings, oxygen sensor, ball joints, etc. In addition, since the original top was at the end of it's life we put a new top on it and redid the leather seats (despite the old ones showing only minor wear ). Finally, 4 new Michelin tires were also added along with balancing and alignment. At the end of the day, the person purchasing this car literally will need to do nothing to start enjoying this car. So, some of the highlights, again: Absolutely rust free; No body work; Original books; Accurate and documented mileage; Original paint. 2 tops; Records documenting oil services every 5000 miles! For one who knows what he is looking for, this is one of the nicest 560sl's around, needing no cosmetic nor mechanical work. It drives and handles as it did when it first left the factory. This was an original California car which came to Florida 1.5 years ago. Gently driven, it has always been garage kept, as the lustrous paint and wood would bear out. Please take a look at the detailed pictures to get a sense of the true condition of this car! (Please also note: There is a Sony CD/tuner with blue tooth installed, but, a Becker Mexico unit is included with sale. There is a company in N.J. which will recondition old Becker's and switch them out for a very reasonable sum if one chooses to reinstall the OEM radio. I preferred to have blue tooth capability with my iPhone so have opted to keep the Sony unit at present. Also, the right passenger mirror motor not working in vertical direction and I am currently looking for a replacement mirror). My asking price reflects the rarity and condition of this particular 560sl. There are many less expensive 560sl's around, many nice 560sl's around, and many rough 560sl's for less money. No matter how wonderful their descriptions, almost all will need mechanical work. And if you "know" the 560sl, while parts are readily available, they are starting to become more rare and it can be a process. NOT THIS ONE! Finally, I would add that he market for the 560sl series is on the upswing. This 560sl can be driven as frequently as you'd like or should wish to put it in a 'time capsule' it is hard to imagine that this one - particularly with it's pedigree history and complete service records - will not substantially increase in value with time. If you are investing, this is the one to own. You will have to look long and hard to find a more pristine, more sorted, and better documented example. If this is the type of 560 SL you are looking for - the "needle in the haystack" - please feel free to contact me. I would emphasize, this car is not for everyone. It is not for one looking for a bargain or to haggle; rather, it is for one who wishes to enjoy and appreciate the glory of the 560sl as it was when it came to market in 1987. One who knows value. One who can appreciate the classic period this car was part of. Not many 560sl's can lay claim to so faithfully representing this era of Mercedes Benz. This one does. Rob 305-776-4246 |

Mercedes-AMG GT3 opts for big displacement without a turbo
Fri, Feb 27 2015There was a time when there were numerous categories in sports car racing: GT1, GT2 , GT3... but these days they've all been amalgamated into the latter. That's left a GT3 class packed with competitors and possibly more contentious than ever before. What you see here is Mercedes' new challenger, in official form after being leaked earlier today by the French website Le Point. Replacing the SLS AMG GT3 that won its class (among other races) the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2013 is the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, it's the racing version of the new Mercedes-AMG GT, and aside from looking the business, it has the makings of a highly competitive entry. As you can see, it sits closer to the track surface than the road-going version, and packs more extreme aero – including a front splitter you could serve dinner off of, little winglets to deflect the air away from the front tires, deep side sills, a massive rear wing and (though we can't see it presently) what promises to be a very large rear diffuser. It's also got more ventilation to feed the engine and cool the brakes, and a stripped-out cabin with full roll cage and a steering device that's long since evolved beyond resembling an actual "wheel." To save weight, Mercedes has redone many of the panels out of carbon fiber, but one of the most intriguing elements is what you'd find under that woven hood: instead of adapting the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the road-going GT, AMG has slotted in the larger atmospheric 6.3-liter V8 from the outgoing racer – coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox. With its new GT3 entry, Mercedes surely hopes to take a slice of the customer racing market that Porsche in particular has developed into a successful and profitable business over the years. Racing fans, however, will be more interested to see how this puppy fares at Le Mans, the Nurburgring, the Blancpain sprint and endurance series, the United SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship and countless national series around the world. It'll have tough competition on its hands, though, from the likes of the Porsche 911 RSR, Audi R8 LMS, Bentley Continental GT3, Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, McLaren 650S GT3, Lamborghini Huracan GT3 and countless others that battle for glory on a racetrack somewhere on any given Sunday. World premiere in Geneva for spectacular AMG racing car All-out attack : the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 Affalterbach.

Promo video shows what the Mercedes G500 4x4 can do
Tue, Feb 24 2015The Mercedes-Benz G500 4x42 is still nominally a show car, but it they're not treating it like one. They've provided their usual video follow-up to the press release and still photo launch, and they've made enough of the beasts to hold a press launch in Granada, Spain. It's even got AMG's brand new twin-turbo V8 engine in it, one that gets the 6,000-pound truck from 0-62 miles per hour in about 6.5 seconds. The only thing it needs to be a going concern is license plates; we guarantee it's not waiting on customers. Autocar could be jumping the gun, but they say it's expected to go on sale later this year for a price in excess of 200,000 pounds ($308,770 US) in the UK. Above is the promotional video, below is footage from GT Spirit from the press launch – notice how the G63 AMG in the background looks, shall we say, pedestrian. We're going to be crawling all over this truck at the Geneva Motor Show, and if we can find the keys, we might even drive it over the other show cars and out the door... or the nearest wall.
