LEGACY MOTORCARS, LLC
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
Legacy Motorcars offers this beautifully restored 1980 Mercedes Benz 450 SL. In my 30+ years in the collector car business, this car is without a doubt the finest 450 SL I have seen and it is priced to sell. This is truly automotive art, the lines of this graceful car with the removable hard top, the soft top, factory alloy wheels in perfect undamaged condition, make this car a pleasure to the eyes and more important, to drive! This car is finished in Manila, the original color. It was repainted last year and the paintwork cost more than we are asking for the car! The paint is superb, with all trim and rubber removed before painting, and the car shows no sign of previous rust or accident damage.
The dark brown leather interior is equal to the exterior. The dash top is perfect, as is the hard top and soft top. All the chrome trim where the seats are mounted and fold forward is in place, very common for these trim pieces to be missing or broken. The hard top comes with the storage rack. The carpet, door panels, and rear deck are also excellent, as is the trunk carpet.
The mechanicals of the car are excellent as well. The car comes with an inch thick book of service records. The engine and gearbox still function as new. The climate control works perfect with the air blowing ice cold, an amazing thing to find with most of these cars. The car has just been serviced, all fluids checked or changed, and it is ready to drive anywhere in the country.
Full detailing of the car along with a fresh mechanical check was done 100 miles ago . I would not hesitate to drive the car any distance.
Legacy Motorcars is a licensed Florida dealer so the appropriate taxes will have to be collected if sold in Florida. The reserve is very reasonable as we want to sell the car not just admire it! We reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is advertised locally. Please call or email with any questions. Tom 904 412-4997 or tombungay@comcast.net.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
