The following comments are by Douglas Maxwell (he inspired The Beatles' song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" Track 3, Abbey Road album), who is now semi-retired living in the Cotswolds. His daughter, Caitlin, proudly drives "Penelope", a w123 series 230e saloon (supplied by Richard, as a gift for her promotion of this website). After much deliberation, Douglas has just started his own website called artsdesireable.com where you can see some interesting prints and art.

Richard launched Mercseller.com in September 2001. He had no idea what sort of response he'd get. Fingers crossed...

Certainly he knew, because he's one himself, that there were lots of Merc Officianados out there somewhere. He was right. He's been completely bowled over by the extraordinary response he's had. Acceleration!

So far over 40 million hits since it began. Stunning!

Thousands of people have gone beyond simply just finding out. And they have benefited from his unique and bespoke service. Richard has become Mr. Merc!

He knows his Mercs back-to-front, and inside out. The advice he gives people all free, steers them gently to the right Merc for them.

His passion for these great cars is reflected on his web-site. It matches buyers to sellers, and vice-versa....A sort of Merc-dating agency!

The idea has become so successful that Richard can no longer drive it by himself and has recently taken on some equally passionate co-drivers to help him provide the kind of service Mercedes people expect.

Over 39,000 Mercedes enthusiasts, owners, buyers and sellers are now registered with mercseller.com.

Although UK based, Mercseller has become a truly international business, with calls coming from as far away as Asia, Africa, America and Eastern Europe.

All these people are looking for the right Merc for them. And they're a pretty fussy lot, too. They know precisely what they're looking for.

They come from all walks of life. VIP's, celebrities, top executives, all kinds of businesses and all types of individuals. They are treated in exactly the same way as the genuine Merc enthusiast.

When Richard started out he determined that honesty was going to be (and still is!) the best policy.

Mercseller.com is nothing if not blunt about the cars it deals with. No one careful driver waffle. No flash Harry stuff.

Mercseller's appraisal of any car is as specific as possible. You know exactly what you're getting, warts and all. Richard sorts out the wheat from the chaff, saving people time and money.

And what you see is an exhaustive range of Mercedes cars; from attractive modern day classics like a c124 series E220 auto convertible for £9,900, in amongst some rarities like the Limited Edition SL500 R129 series convertible for £19,950, and, hold your breath, a fully restored, rare, golden oldie 1960 220 SE Ponton Coupe (in Left Hand Drive) at £32,000. Wow! From retro classic coupes & convertibles to sensible family saloons & estates.

Not only...but also...Richard joins clients to The Mercedes-Benz Owners Club which he promotes on his website, thus expanding the UK's Merc community.

Mercseller can help its clients track down discounts on spares, restoration, repairs and servicing, and find customers considerable savings when it comes to insuring their cars.

Honesty...trust...again.

Many clients trust Richard enough to buy Mercedes on their behalf 'sight - internet pictures apart - unseen'. All part of the Mercseller VIP service.

No matter who you are, what you want, what you can afford, Richard's mercseller.com is the place to find it.

Ian Dickinson, who joined Richard in February 2004 as a partner to cover the North of England, says: "I'm not stupid, I realised pretty quickly that my passion was almost as great as Richard's for Mercedes cars, and that Mercseller was, like the car's symbol, a real star."

See how we are for yourself. Call Richard on 01923 463620 or 07801 848989 or simply email him at: richard@mercseller.com
