Books, Tools and Records

Last month an original Mercedes 190E Evolution II sold for an outstanding $220,000 at auction, followed by a Mercedes Mclaren SLR for $675,000 and in December we sold our Mercedes CLK DTM Coupe in a record 60 days after having an incredible amount of interest from collectors across the US. The month prior we sold our 2008 Mercedes CLK63 Black Series in 1 week and our 2012 Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series in 1 day.Lets face it, with the introduction of the new Mercedes-AMG Hypercar Project One and Mercedes AMG GTR all things related to Mercedes AMG are HOT. When we recently got called on a 1989 Mercedes 560 SL AMG, built by AMG North America, we had to pursue the lead.

1980s were undeniably special. Radio waves were ruled by pop artists Madonna, Milli Vanilli and Bobby Brown and NBC aired the television series Miami Vice for 5 seasons, until May of 1989. Meanwhile, German tuning company, AMG, rocked the automotive world with its luxury 200mph Mercedes rockets.

Ordered new from Mercedes Ontario, its first and only owner sent our 1989 Mercedes 560SL car directly from the dealer to Missouri, home of AMG North America. Supplied with a specific AMG SL ordering sheet, the original owner spent over $8,000.00 on AMG options and accessories. Including, AMG wheels, side skirts, European headlamps, a telephone and even an AMG spec limited slip differential.

What’s remarkable about this car is not only is it arguably the nicest 560 SL we have ever seen, its that the original owner kept every envelope, document and brochure from AMG. In addition to being so well documented and babied since 1989 with only 24,000 miles, how many SL’s were modified by AMG? Our guess? A handful. How many left? Not many.

While not the most absurd thing to come out of the 1980s, our 1989 Mercedes 560 SL AMG is a piece of automotive history un-paralleled. One owner, 24,000 miles and documented from AMG.

about us

Curated

Almost 60 years ago my grandfather started repairing odd and rare European cars in Springfield, Mass. During an era where Ferrari and Lamborghini were building small quantities of hand made cars that rarely made it onto American soil. Arguably, this moment in history was the most significant time for the automobile, an era that produced the most iconic cars of our time which became the DNA for todays most famous marques.

He bought and sold cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Jaguar D-Type and Lamborghini Miura. (Selling his Ferrari 250 GTO for $9,500.00 to Robert Sowers has always been a sore spot.) While my grandfather loved engineering and mechanics, my father loved the automobile. Working under the stewardship of my grandfather, he became a brilliant mechanic and at an early age started collecting cars. At the New York Auto Show in 1972 he bought a one-off Lamborghini Miura SV from Modena Racing that he still posses today. In the 1980s, my father became the authorized service in Palm Beach, Florida for Lamborghini facilitated by Joe Nastasi. Nastasi was the sole distributor for Lamborghini in the Americas.

I grew up around and inside LM002's, Countach's and Jalpa's. For my father and myself the automobile was not a livelihood, it was an obsession. He amassed a collection of toys, parts and cars that is unparallaled in the world. While other kids spent their afternoons and summers in camp, I spent it on the shop floor, cleaning Ferrari F50's, reading 25th Anniversary owners manuals and studying serial numbers, factory/dealer options and sweeping floors. After the world's best education, an MBA in everything Ferrari and Lamborghini, In 2005 I left home and began my own journey. This journey is dedicated to Jacques Temerian and John Temerian Sr.
