MercedesHeritage.com Newsletter
 December 2009
Greetings!

This last newsletter of 2009 finds the collectible Mercedes-Benz community showing signs of stability and some glimpses of recovery.
 
The new SLS AMG Gullwing may just reignite our passion for unique and satisfying Mercedes-Benz automobiles, young and old.

Be sure to view the video and images of Jay Leno's secret outing in the new Gullwing bellowing through the hills above Los Angeles. Great stuff.
 
AMG has been making dreams of performance oriented Mercedes enthusiasts come true for decades. Their Performance Studio has created another gem in the extraordinary BAPE Gullwing presented this month. You must see this car.

We close this month's news with a few of our more interesting "barn" finds. We hope you like this issue's new "look" as well.
 
Enjoy our 56th newsletter.

Sincerely and with best wishes for 2009,
Roy Spencer, editor MercedesHeritage.com

Jay Leno tries a new Gullwing on LA's "Nurburgring"
The new SLS AMG Gullwing is proving to be a media darling, just like the SLR. Jay Leno likes it too. He was filmed blasting along his Los Angeles "track" early one morning this month. Have a look at this cool video and some images of the shoot.
