This was completely restored in 2005
 
 
There are a few small details to complete to make it absolutely perfect;
 
  • Reinstalled the original Becker radio that I have in my possession (restored and functional)
  • Trim pad for window handle
  • Wood center console box
  • The windshield wipers do not work ... I have to have my mechanic to take a look at them. 
  • The firewall is not installed between the engine and the cabin 
  • Door sill trim & mat 
  • 2 rear moulding trims on the rear end are not present.
  • We do not have the hard top, easy to find and replace if needed.
 
 
The car is originally red with beige interior, this is a car that was imported from Europe in California in the 60s (European front lights, odometer in KM) rare 4 speed manual. 
 
My father bought it via ebay in Kansas in 2004. I have a print of the original listing that will be available to the buyer.
 
From what i understand,  it was fitted with a new newer engine. It looks like the good engine model for this car but i can't guarantee it.
 
The car is now brilliant silver (744) over black interior. 
 
The car still has the USA title, so no problem to bring it back to the USA without going thought the importation process.
 
He had the car completely restored in 2005, he drove about 100 miles since restoration. It was always kept in a temperature controlled garage
 
In 2014,  installation of a new gas tank, battery and adjustments.
 
According to 2 experienced mechanics Mercedes in my city, it’s the best 230 SL they have seen for a very long time.
 
Sorry for my poor English, i am French. :-)
 
Don't hesitate to ask your questions, i will do my best to answer them.

Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
