Vintage Mercedes 350sl Trunk Lid Emblem Badge Name Molding Logo Rare on 2040-parts.com
Seattle, Washington, US
This 350sl trunk lid badge came off a European 1972 350sl. These badges are kind of rare because they were only available in the US for a very short time. In fact, the US models weren't supposed to have the 350sl badge at all. They European models were 3.5 ltr V8s and therefore were called 350sl. In order to meet American emissions requirements, the US versions got stroked to 4.5 ltrs with lower compression. Hence the 450sl. But Mercedes did not have the 450sl badges ready in time when they launched the model in the US so they shipped with 350sl emblems. Later on, when these cars would go into the dealership for service, they would often remove the 350sl badge and replace it with the 450sl. This one is in pretty good shape, but not perfect. There is a little bend in the center, and one of the mounting posts is broken off. Please inspect the pictures carefully.

McLaren 12C Concept showcases McLaren Special Operations (MSO) goodies
Mon, 09 Dec 2013The McLaren 12C MSO Concept (pictured) highlights McLaren’s MSO upgrades Unless you’ve ever been and bought a supercar (or a high-end luxury car) new, you may not realise that the regular options list is just the starting point for individual customisation. In fact everyone, from Ferrari to Rolls Royce, will do pretty much whatever you want to your new car if your pockets are deep enough, and it’s a game – and a cash cow – McLaren are keen to make the most of. That’s why we had the extreme McLaren X-1 project a couple of years ago, but that went a lot further than most Mclaren buyers want to go with their new car.
Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire – first details
Tue, 03 Mar 2009Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire - another Veyron Limited Edition appears at Geneva '09 [ad#ad-1] We had a pretty good idea this was coming, as we reported last week, but the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire has appeared at the Geneva Motorshow last night. Contrary to expectations, it would appear that the Bleu Centenaire carries the stock 1001bhp Veyron engine and not, as was much speculated upon, a boosted version. Still, it looks like Bugatti have had the paring scissors out, and the reduced weight of the Bleu Centenaire should trim the Veyrons already awesome 0-60 time by a tenth or two.

This is our first look inside the cockpit of the Bloodhound SSC, the new supersonic rocket challenger looking to set a new world land speed record. The Bloodhound SSC's cabin is cramped and looks more like the cockpit of a Eurofighter jet than a car.
