This cherished second-owner roadster is a meticulously-maintained, garage-kept example that starts and drives beautifully and has been driven for only 50,400 miles since new. Always a California car, it has no rust whatsoever. And it is completely stock except for the chrome wheels, which were an upgraded option.
There are no dings, dents or "hanger rash" along the sides of the sparkling butter yellow body.
The interior is tan and the leather shows no wear.
It has rarely been parked in the sun, so there are NO cracks in the dash!
The previous owner never drove the car without the Pagoda hard top, so when I bought this roadster, the brown soft top had never seen the light of day and is, therefore like new with a clear rear window. I use a hoist in my garage to remove and store the hard top and the hoist is included in the price.
I put a lot of money into this car, expecting to keep it for many years and careful to keep it all stock. Now I am retiring and moving to an area where it won't be practical, so I am offering it to a new care-taker.
Just mentioning some of the work that's been done: it has a new radiator, new fuel pump, new battery, new water pump, recent complete transmission service with necessary parts replacement, and best general maintenance as necessary by the valley's most respected independent Mercedes shop. The AC runs cold. All receipts and service history since new are included, so you can see the complete list of what's been done; including the original window sticker.
This exceptional roadster can be seen and driven at your convenience in North Hollywood, CA during the weekends, or in Studio City, CA weekdays. Or you can contact me with questions you may have.
This LOW MILEAGE and GREAT CONDITION is a rare find.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
