1966 - Mercedes-benz 200-series on 2040-cars
Ontario, Oregon, United States
1966 Mercedes Benz 250SE Coupe Remarkably nice 250SE coupe with 94,765 miles in very good condition. Vin:11102112085220 History: I purchased this rust free car here in Oregon in the spring of 2013 from the second owner who had the car in his heated garage for the last 25 years. The Mercedes shop I use comprehensively went through the car when I bought it and it was clear that this car had received lots of attention over the years and had been maintained to a high standard. I grew up driving these cars and have owned several of them and this one is a solid quality accident free car that is a rare find in this condition. The hood and trunk gaps are factory correct, I have seen and owned cars that have not lined up well and this car shows its original lines extremely well. In my opinion this is one the best cars ever designed (thank you Paul Bracq) and with only 5,259 250SE Coupes produced between 9/65–12/67 its rarity also makes it great for any collection. This is a great solid well cared for car that I am selling it to downsize my collection. Engine & Transmission: Excellent running and driving condition. The mechanics on this car are very well sorted and maintained. The M129 engine starts right up every time and can run all day every day as it was designed to do. I have always loved the sound these cars make as they shift through the gears. This car’s transmission shifts flawlessly and drives as it should, strong and smooth. The sats say 150 horsepower and a top speed 117 mph, and while these cars never jumped off the line (0–100 km/h acceleration 14 seconds) once you get to cruising speed it is very comfortable and you can sit behind the wheel all day long effortlessly. This car floats down the road and is very nice to drive. Body: Excellent rust-free body panels are all straight. The car has had one very nice professional re-paint in the original 501 H (orient red) color. I have taken extensive photos to show how nice the paint is. I would grade it 8.8 on a scale from 1-10. (I am picky) Glass is all good. Chrome is very nice. Front bumper is very nice, rear bumper has a few scratches in it. Plastic lenses are all good with no cracks. Unrestored undercarriage has a new compensator spring in the rear installed by the previous owner. The factory undercoating is still intact, the bottom of this car is original and solid. Muffler is in great condition showing little use. The doors close with little effort and make the signature Mercedes click (see video). The exterior is truly immaculate and the color and condition show the great lines of the car. Interior: The interior is a time capsule for 1966. The dash and interior panels are in great condition. The last owner took great pride and care of this car, carpets are like new, wood is in show condition. The driver seat is new and the rest of the interior is very well preserved. This car is equipped with headrests that are a nice option for these cars. The trunk mat, spare tire, jack, and trunk mounted tire iron tool look to be original. The heater/defrost work well and the A/C blows cold. All dash instruments work as they should, (except clock loses a little time each week). This car is equipped with a power window option and they work well, all lights are in excellent working condition, headliner is very nice. The smell of the leather seats is one of the best things I like about these cars and this one smell great. This cars interior is really a special time capsule and makes driving the car fun. Summary: I am a car enthusiast and Mercedes fan, this is a very solid car that I have enjoyed and am happy to be able to help preserve it.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
