For sale is a Mercedes-Benz 560SL with only 61,800 original miles!
This car is beautiful inside and out, is completely accident free and has never been smoked in with a clean Carfax. It has always been garaged and received extraordinary care throughout its life as is obvious from any inspection.
The original Signal Red paint looks stunning and is still deep rich and shiny with absolutely no dings, dents or damage.
The chocolate brown convertible top is new and is from the original German manufacturer. The hard top, with stand and original cover has only been on the car a few times since the car was new. It is in like new condition and comes with the Mercedes Benz stand and original cover.
The oil has been changed religiously every 3000 miles since new.
The Palomino tan leather seats, carpets and carpet mats are all as new and were replaced at great expense with original German materials.
The dashboard is original (not the commonly used cheap restoration cover) and is perfect and free of any cracks or fading.
The burl wood console was just refinished by Madera Concepts in Goleta California. . .a company that refinishes many of the winning Pebble Beach concours cars.
All original documentation is included as shown in the trunk photo to include all original showroom hangers etc. Even the original leather Mercedes key fob is still unopened in the plastic sleeve it was delivered in.
This 560sl has an updated Mercedes radio and also comes with the original stock unit.
The a/c blows ice cold and the steering is very tight. Everything including the clock functions perfectly.
I purchased this car from the original owner. This 560sl drives exactly as you would expect from a low mileage classic Mercedes-Benz. This is a very honest and beautiful original car...the only surprises with this car will be pleasant ones!!

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
