BEVERLY HILLS CAR CLUB ANNOUNCES THE1996 MERCEDES S600 LORINSERONCE
OWNED BY SPORTS ICON MICHAEL JORDAN Beverly Hills, California The
Beverly Hills Car Club is excited to announce it has acquired
another collectible classic with a major sports celebrity
connection. The worlds largest dealer of European classic cars is
offering for sale a 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser that was
previously owned by basketball legend Michael Jordan. Michael
Jordan played 15 seasons in the NBA, winning six championships with
the Chicago Bulls. According to the official NBA website: "By
acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of
all time. He was integral to the rising global popularity of the
NBA in the 1980s and 1990s. Jordan placed second to Babe Ruth in
the Associated Press' December 1999 list of 20th-century athletes.
In addition, the Associated Press voted him the greatest basketball
player of the 20th century. Jordan has also appeared on the front
cover of Sports Illustrated a record 50 times. In the September
1996 issue of Sport, which was the publication's 50th-anniversary
issue, Jordan was named the greatest athlete of the past 50 years."
What a phenomenal opportunity this is to buy Michael Jordans actual
car! Making it truly personal, this S600 Lorinser was originally
titled in the name of both Michael Jordan and Juanita, his
then-wife. The title was signed by both of them on the back.
Besides, says Alex Manos, the Beverly Hills Car Club owner, "you
probably have your own, more subjective attachment to Michael
Jordan. When I was a young boy my father bought me my first pair of
Air Jordan sneakers. I absolutely loved them. I thought even at
that age that they were so cool. From there, I found out the
amazing story of Michael Jordan himself, the greatest basketball
superstar. So its truly astonishing to be selling his car today.
"Mr. Jordan was a magically gifted basketball player who, when you
watched him, took your breath away," continues Manos. "Michael
Jordans S600 Lorinser is such an elegant vehicle that driving it
will get you in touch with your inner Michael Jordan, stepping into
his world and feeling his energy and power. I am flattered to have
acquired such a historically relevant car with ultimate celebrity
provenance. Michael Jordans Mercedes is an incredibly exciting
vehicle to be connected with. "Some people have signed basketballs
or sneakers or photographs of the basketball giant. But how many
people do you know who own Michael Jordans car? This is the Holy
Grail of Michael Jordan memorabilia." Michael Jordans 1996
Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser comes in a gorgeous color combination
of metallic navy deep blue with a beautiful gray interior. It comes
with a clean Carfax and is equipped with an automatic transmission,
air conditioning, heated seats, cruise control, dual airbags, power
windows, power steering, power mirrors, power seats, power sunroof,
power tilt steering wheel, power mirrors, 4-wheel disc brakes,
Lorinser chrome wheels, and jack. "The cool thing about the car is
when you power on the car phone, Jordan's name shows up on the
dashboard, says Manos Michael Jordans 1996 Mercedes-Benz is an
extremely desirable and highly collectible S600.
