Up for auction at no reserve, a very nice example of Mercedes-Benz very desirable 450SL roadster. I am listing this vehicle for a friend but I will be
available to answer any questions or requests for more photographs that may arise, as well as having the owner available for anything else. The car is
very low mileage with 65878 original miles. These cars are known for their longevity and this one is just getting broken in. The car has been maintained
and has had a recent service including new brakes and new tires. The only mechanical issue incurred by the current owner has been worn tie rod ends
which he promptly replaced. The car starts and runs out smoothly, and is a pleasure to drive. The interior is in remarkable condition and is one of the
nicest that I have personally seen. Even the heated seats still look great and function! The exterior is in great shape as well with an original color paint job
that was done professionally. There are few flaws. There is some bubbling over the passenger rear fenderwell and some issues along the body line on the
driver side. I have included pictures of these. The soft top has a tear near the back of the driver side but we did not put the soft top up when we took the
pictures so I did not see it firsthand but the owner tells me it is minor and the rear window is still pliable and clear. All in all this is an excellent little car that
will make someone a great addition to their collection, or a very dependable daily driver. Either way bid with confidence. Buyer is responsible for pickup.
But we can work with any service the winning bidder may use to ship the vehicle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you,
Ducparts

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
