Rare 4-speed manual transmission German Euro model with only two owners. I purchased the vehicle from the original
German owners in Sedona, Arizona for my wife as a first wedding anniversary present. I was informed that the
original owners imported the vehicle in 1972 without U.S. conversion. I was told that the couple's main residence
was in Germany, and that they only used the car on occasion when staying at their second home in Sedona. The
vehicle is an all original, unmolested Pagoda with original chrome, and gauges in kilometers. There are 125,333 km
on the car- the equivalent to 79,535 miles. The car has the original windshield with original stickers from Germany
(pictured). Also note that the U.S. license plate is attached on top of the German license plate, so that no
additional holes were drilled into the body of the car (pictured). The original German plate will be provided in
the sale. The vehicle has always been garage stored in Arizona, eliminating rust potential. It has been well
maintained, and has over thirteen pages of service records. The vehicle recently received an entirely new muffler
system and the power steering pump was recently rebuilt. It has a soft top, as well as the well sought after
original hard top (hard top storage stand will be included in sale- pictured). It is extremely difficult to source
an original Pagoda in this condition.

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
