I have a bunch more stuff in the pipeline — all really cool cars. May 1st, 2025 at 11:41pm ESTmikelaca (8) 0@Stuttgart_Steel Sadly there's no way to 'follow' a seller on MBM. When is your next auction? I wish I could get alerted to when yours go live.

I’ve enjoyed talking to a few of you behind the scenes and I’m hope we get to find a new home for the car today. Good luck and happy bidding!

January 17th, 2025 at 1:04pm ESTGoldy (0) 0@Stuttgart_Steel OK Does this mean the odometer has been fixed and functioning?January 17th, 2025 at 9:33am ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 1I just had a wonderful chat with the owner of the car and I have more background information on this R107. This car has been in his collection for about a decade. The thing to keep in mind with him is he buys and collects R107s because he loves them -- not to sell, or to flip, but because they are his comfort food. He likes driving them, maintaining them, appreciates the engineering, and most importantly, loves that Geiger styling. This 560SL was one of about 35 in his collection. He's displayed these cars in his showrooms in Europe and the Middle East and has dwindled his collection down to about 11 R017s now, selling the other across the globe to countries like Kuwait, Netherlands, Germany, and Japan to longtime collectors. W111s and R107s are his bread and butter and like to have the best examples. He's a true Mercedes-Benz collector and is deeply in love with the brand much like I am, which is why we get along so well and am happy to help move some of his cars through this great platform. Again, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I hope the backstory helps paint a more complete picture!January 16th, 2025 at 9:41pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 0Two quick things as the auctions comes closer to ending: 1) When the upholstery work was done in Germany during its refresh, the seats were redone in MB-Tex. 2) We took the car out for a spin today to make sure it was happy and healthy before the auction ends and we saw the odometer gears broke during the drive. They get waxy and oily as they age and the teeth snap off. Luckily it's $25 to fix and about an hour of time. Thanks for the bids so far and I'll get the climate control video put up by the fine folks of MB Market.

January 13th, 2025 at 1:12pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 0@mdrei We confirmed the climate control works as intended. I’ll be making a video on it after work and getting it posted. We also found a second key!

Welcome to the auction of this really nicely spec'd 560SL! I'll be around to answer any questions and aid in helping you through the auction. The write-up that The MB Market provided covers the story of the car. This is out of the Mercedes-Benz collection in North Georgia that I'm helping liquidate for my very good friends. It did go overseas for paint work and light restoration work out of his shop in Germany. Thanks for looking! @mdrei We are all snowed in down here in Atlanta, so I'll get over to the warehouse and get some video/answers for you in the next few days. The car has been converted to R134a. You can see the updated fittings in picture #271. I'll make sure to check all the vent operations of the ACC. January 10th, 2
