This is a fun car to drive and it gets noticed everywhere it goes. I have owned it for 13 years and it has had only 2 previous owners. This 1967 230SL has very low mileage, 42,700 miles, and it has always been garaged here in the state of NH. The mileage is low partly because the 2nd owner had stored it for 12 years, until I bought it in 2000. I have put on less than 5000 miles. It has a Six Cylinder Engine and a Standard Shift 4-Speed Transmission. The color is the Mercedes Benz Orient Red, and it was repainted back in the 1980s with the original color. Paint is still nice. Chrome is ok too. Interior is saddle brown in color and the seats are covered with the indestructible MB Tex vinyl. Seats, rugs, dash, glass, etc. are all in MINT condition. I have maintained the car and here is a list of new parts that I have installed during my ownership: power steering pump, steering stabilizer, steering linkage bushings, inner and outer tie-rods, water pump and hoses, master cylinder re-built, front brakes, fuel pump, new fuel sending unit, stainless steel exhaust system, plug wires, steering box, high pressure power steering hose, all new belts, new Michelin tires, clutch cylinder sleeve, front brake calipers, all rubber brake lines, fuel tank, Nardi steering wheel, and speedometer cable. The car runs awesome. Removable hardtop comes off to reveal the canvas convertible top that is about 20 years old. I can see 2 dime size worn spots on the rag top, but since it is never driven in the rain, I have not replaced it. Other than the rag top, the only other flaw is the speedometer, when the car warms up, the needle "bounces" up and down. Tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. The 4 new Michelins have less than a thousand miles on them. I am available to answer any questions JIM 603-401-9236. Wonderful car. Serious bidders only, please. The car will be sold with a NH Bill of Sale. NH did not require a TITLE on a car this old, but I do have the current registration which I am happy to provide a copy of. Good Luck bidding. This is a NO RESERVE auction.

Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
