eBay Find: 1991 Mercedes 300SE
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img via eBay ::: 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SE
W126 aficionados be prepared to cut a cheque for $4,750. That’s the buy-it-now price an eBay seller from Cali wants for this magnificent black-on-cream 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SE. The standard wheelbase Sonderklasse has led a pretty quiet life since 2006 (only driven 5K miles or so). Granted, a car that sits is prone to as much trouble as a car that’s overworked – but aesthetically this big Benz is still in its Helmut Kohl prime. Purists note the original (and ergonomically confounding) Becker radio unit – though – conversely it appears as though the original paint has been scrubbed from the rims.
Sorely tempted…

Bentley Wishes You A Happy Chinese New Year
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img Bentley Motors ::: Bentley Continental GT and the Chinese New Year
CHALK it up to a sign of the times. Bentley honored its Chinese patrons (the PRC is Bentley’s fastest flourishing market) with an artful display on its webpage heralding the Chinese New Year. The above image is that of a striking, signal red (rouge for prosperity) or “Dragon Red” (as Bentley’s marketed the new color) Continental GT set off by tall rims with red B-logo center caps. And as you might’ve guessed by the depiction, 2012 is the year of the dragon. Incidentally, the BBC asked a Feng Shui expert to prophesize what the significance of the dragon means for the world and the global economy. Apparently there’s to be an upturn ahead for the American market. Does this mean Bentley will have a red, white, and blue edition in time for the Fourth of July?
F30 BMW 3er… Unsure About That Snout.
Overall, the package appears pretty tight but thank goodness they didn’t feed it Miracle Grow like the 5er. The compressed snout (front fascia) may not age gracefully, but it’s interesting.

Check the Transformers-style spoiler action at 0:55. Pretty neat…
