 1973 Mercedes 280SE 4.5, Its an automatic on the floor, sunroof, V8, fuel injected, cold blowing A/C, 4 door sedan. I purchased it 2012 from a gentleman who bought it 1994 off the MB dealer lot (because he wanted a classic car to take the grandkids for ice cream in) with only 42841 on the odometer, now its at 53713. Any time the car needed anything it he either sent it  to the MB dealer or to Hatch & sons which was a Boston area MB specialist.   Its been redone somewhere in its lifetime & they did a great job changing from brown to black. Body is in great shape except for some bubbling on left rear quarter (see pics) and it is an older paint job but still looks great. Interior also very nice except for a small crack on dash pad (see pics) and some wear on the rugs under the mats. The wood under the windshield looks to have been replaced because its like new. Tires are matching & like new all around, the muffler has been replaced recently with OE unit, and the battery is OE Mercedes & she starts up every time with no issues.  This is a VERY nice looking & driving vintage Benz. I just used it in my daughters wedding & it gets compliments all the time. As nice as it is it is still a 40+ year old car so its not perfect. Issues that I know of are that it leaves spots on garage floor under engine & rear differential, exhaust manifolds leak a bit, dash lights don't always work, odometer clocks miles but speedo doesn't work, original radio is touchy & only gets 1 or 2 stations in the area, plastic heater controls need replacing, right front window regulator doesn't close solid, and trunk leaks a bit from drain hose and their is some surface rust under the trunk mat (see pic), and I'm sure some other small issues I can't think of. All in all this is a VERY nice classic Mercedes that you can enjoy as is or restore to perfection. Feel free to call me with any questions. Marc 508.951.1335 Thanks & happy bidding!

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
