  "How beautifully leaves grow old." What John Burroughs observed about the fall's touch of romance can just as easily be applied to your vintage Mercedes-Benz. And now, as the leaves change color, hard tops are being retrieved from storage and fluids and tires checked in preparation for the coming cold. The entire Mercedes-Benz Classic Center team wishes you a wonderful season of safe and exciting driving through a crisp fall and a brisk winter.

  25 years ago, on October 11, 1992, German racing legend Klaus Ludwig won the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) with a third-place finish in the season finale at the Hockenheimring (DTM) in an AMG-Mercedes 190 E 2.5-16 Evo II. AMG-Mercedes drivers Kurt Thiim and Bernd Schneider finished second and third respectively in the final rankings, securing Mercedes-Benz the manufacturer championship for the 1992 season.

  This late production Model Year 1970 280 SL was sold new in southern California to a brand enthusiast who kept the car until February 2014 when it was purchased by Mercedes-Benz Classic in remarkable rust-free condition. The subsequent, complete "nut-and-bolt" restoration by Mercedes-Benz Classic covered all aspects of the car including body, full interior, full driveline, i.e. engine, transmission, driveshaft, rear axle, full suspension, electrical system, etc. Special attention was paid to authenticity in detail, down to the original specification "Phoenix" whitewall tires.

This 'matching numbers' car presents in a factory correct combination of Moss Green metallic (DB 834), Cognac (250) leather interior, Brown (8008) carpeting and a Dark Green (747) soft top. The exterior lighting of the car now shows in European specification for added appeal and as a nod to the original design brilliance of Paul Bracq.

This newly restored Classic Mercedes-Benz represents the highest level of craftsmanship at Mercedes-Benz Classic in Irvine, California.

Asking Price: $285,000

  2017 Colorado Grand Recap  
 
  Last month, our team embarked again for the annual Colorado Grand classic car driving event in the Rocky Mountains. Starting and concluding in Vail, Colorado, the Grand takes a different route every year, covering approximately 1,000 miles of scenic roads. While the route stays in the state of Colorado for the most part, past excursions took the ca. 100 pre-1962 sports cars as far north as Wyoming and as far west as Utah. If you missed our live coverage of the drive on our social media channels (@mbclassiccenter), you can find our photo coverage of each driving day on Facebook.

  1966 230 SL For Sale  
 
  This 'matching numbers' 230 SL presents in its original color configuration in Papyrus White (DB 717) exterior (incl. hardtop), Dark Blue (115) MB-Tex interior, Graphite Grey (6117) carpeting, and a Dark Blue (896) soft top. The car was delivered with European specification 3.75 rear axle ratio (4.08 for US models) that, combined with the factory 4-speed manual transmission allows for relaxed high speed cruising. It is believed that this car was privately imported to the U.S. in the mid-1970's.

Well maintained by the car's most recent owner since 1991, the owner assigned the car to Mercedes-Benz Classic for a comprehensive 2 year, six-figure restoration. Recently completed, the restoration included a full inspection identifying any and all needs, and subsequent restoration of mechanical systems, vehicle body including hardtop, replacement of all glass, selective chrome work, interior work, underbody paintwork and detailing. Special attention was paid to bringing the car back to the authentic and exceptional condition as-delivered new in Italy 52 years ago, ready to be enjoyed today.

Asking Price: $250,000

Mercedes-Benz launched the new R107-series SL in the spring of 1971, setting new standards in vehicle safety and a new styling language that was to become a benchmark in Mercedes-Benz design for nearly two decades. The model line included different motor variants, ultimately culminating in the 5.6 liter V-8 560SL. Production of the R107-series SL concluded in 1989, more than 18 years after its debut, a true testament to its market segment leadership.

This "Young Classic" 1989 560 SL features a rare Garnet Red metallic (DB 512) exterior and Creme Beige (275) leather interior, and a black (9001) soft top. This two-owner car was recently acquired by Mercedes-Benz Classic with just 43,000 miles from new. A thorough inspection and re-conditioning of all mechanical systems and cosmetic appearance was just completed by Mercedes-Benz Classic to bring the car to collector show car status. The 560SL is an excellent choice for both beginning classic Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and seasoned collectors desiring a quickly appreciating classic Mercedes-Benz representing the benchmark for personal luxury sports cars of the 1970's and 1980's.

Asking price: $52,000
