*Sigh* The Boss, AKA She who must be obeyed AKA Jenna was watching X men on DVD last night and called me in to identify a Mercedes she really really wants. It was a Grosser of some sort, short wheel base. I explained what I could, pro's and con's but she made certain demands of me last night...

Here it is Helmet, http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=552

And then And just to show we were not picky...

I think some perspective is called for here........ 38k for rust work on a Valiant not including paint.... Sills, rear 1/4's, both front guards, complete plenum top middle and firewall, complete floor pan and turret repairs which called for the turret to be unpicked and removed. Oh and the...

An electric Phantom? http://m.jalopnik.com/5858023/rolls+royce-102ex-first-drive

Nice short Youtube doco on the 116, most other models here as well, 107 included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=g75P9F7Qpbo Tony

The issue was one too many of these I edited them out of this quote

http://m.jalopnik.com/5855586/the-ten-greatest-automotive-urban-legends/gallery/ My reasons for posting this? There are 6.9 of them unless you are familiar with this brilliant piece of cinematic art. Oh and a Youtube interview and drive.... Why it's great: Claude Lelouche's 1976 film is...

Styria this would have to be one of the best articles I've seen on TK! Kudos to You and Mercules both. regards, Tony

This episode of 5th Gear was why I bought the 124 230TE over a 126 300SEL, please note that Vicki Butler-Henderson repeatedly says sorry to the poor old test subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saV3hUUry-4

Well then you have a US sourced Turbo700 Michel as i believe that pre VP they had US units with a chev V8 pattern? Re the T400? 2 pumps and more internals make them a bit hard on engine HP and ive found that the T350's are far simpler and harder wearing.

Agreed Michel, But not all TH700's are created equal and the US early units with minimal electronic Servo mech is the unit to use. The Aussie units are ok but the US sourced units are better and far more adaptable. I believe that the 50's Rolls Royces used GM sourced 4 speed autos and I...

The issue Mark was that the system checks for a Vin encoded into each item and the ABS computer is the key. You will get the engine going but without a lot of the features that made the 300C such a fun car to drive including the shut down of one bank of cylinders in light traffic etc. The...

Gents something to keep in mind when thinking of adapting late model Benz trannys is the anti theft features of the donor cars, I can state from experience that anyone wanting to use all or part of the driveline of a 300C Series I, II or III will need ALL of it including engine management, ABS...

The Wire wheels would need regular checking as the buggers go out of round if not checked, had em on a Jag and nice as they looked they were a pain and got replaced. I drove a similar car for 4 months with the 3.5 and what i believe was an aftermarket 4 speed and it drove very well, I lived in...

Pfft, only a 2.2 Mo. Now if it had a mighty 3.5 or better a 4.4 it would be worthy of a mention..... :-)

It looks like sergeich has put a lot of Time, Patience and Love into his veneers. Something Russians seem to have that comes from within. By the way the finish is similar to what I achieved with the Jag walnut using epoxy clear.

The car was a daily for 5 years and then parked after a new car came along, the car has been where it sits now for a further 5 years. My son gets his license in 12 months and loves the 450's but can not drive them as they are a V8 so i thought this may be suitable, Jenna also likes it.

A little more info. Went and had a look today, its a 280S, MB Tex/Cloth inserts, sunroof, carb'd and manual windows. Can someone decode the plate please as i only had literally 5 mins to look before i had to shoot off.

280S Info please Ive stumbled on a 280S locally, it is a 75 model according to the current owner and he is keen to get rid of it. it was a daily driver but has now been sitting for 5 years, shedded. He says is has a 4 barrel carb, is that correct? the car also has 500'000 ish km What can I...
