    Sydney to South Australia in our W126

    A terrific story James, and amazing photos. Your 420 SEL looks truely stunning, what a beautiful car, and knowing it did some real hard driving at its age and speedo reading is a wonderful testament to you, and how the car has been maintained, and the cars engineering. Well done.

    How to Change Your Coolant

    You’re spot on Mark. Plus other basic maintenance items are also neglected to the point of failure. It seems way past most modern people’s interest to even think of these things. Cars now to the modern family are simply a disposable appliance these days.

    Car of the week

    That is a lovely car Bryce for sure. If the photographer is using a phone, he has it set wrong on a few pics which makes the car look odd, even sitting up at the front, and leaning as well, some other pics show it as ok.

    Wheel balance is something not usually given the attention to detail it needs unfortunately.

    [JT] Rover OHC Engines

    With all of the good intentions, nearly none of these huge amalgamations done to form conglomerates or monopolies rarely ever work. The same thing happened to all of the amazing shipping lines of the North Atlantic in 1902 to form IMM or the International Mercantile Marine. Huge injections of...

    I know right !!!! 😱 It seems along with the demise of the grille went all the other normal things associated with normal cars, like the normal interiors etc. However we do need to keep up us old blokes. It seems that along with electric technology comes a whole new design philosophy???
