I thought this thread contained the original owner of this car and the reasons it was built. I'll have to track down the info and add it here. Hopefully the car found a good new home.

Interesting this happened to me the other day in a BMW X5 (work car). No car following but it gave me a hell of a shock even at 50kmh. All I saw was shadows across the road, but the car decided there was another vehicle directly ahead and all I saw was the flashing red silhouette of a car on...

Ohhh wow! Very Interesting historical images! 😉 Is your father still around to ask for more info? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Slow progress is better than no progress I guess lol!!! It’s a piece from here & a piece from there, but it’s actually coming together now! I did another significant redesign of the manifold, so it’s back to another scale drawing before fabrication. It’ll even work on the Ford small block...

Wow that’s amazing! Do you have any more pix of the car? I’d be especially interested in the engine….

Geez you’ve put a lot of work into the car; it must be amazing to drive!!

I don’t know how they slip through the cracks but here’s a bit harder than FB to see the indicators of a scam or fake account

Time to ban this idiot

It just clicked what’s going on with the horrible speedo face. I’d suggest they modified the graduations to cater for the steering wheel which might’ve obscured the most used section of the facia… Personally I’d prefer the original steering wheel!

Sold for $345k USD!!

Stick with us; we have solutions for faster & louder! 🤣🚀

If you use any type of hardening sealant (including semi hardening silicone), you’ll find the only way to remove the tail lights in the future is to smash them out… I’m purchasing a product from Wurth for the job so I’ll let you know which one soon. Non hardening for windscreens & rubber seals...

The CLC was never renowned for its quality. The decade bw 2000-2010 should be avoided

Those inner guards are perhaps the biggest issue with the W116 chassis. Drains far too small which are then coated and often blocked by body deadener. Well done on getting the mess fixed! Tail lights & the firewall mat can also hide nasty surprises. If the tail lights are leaking take them out...

Love the colour!! Well done on staying determined. I’m in the same boat as you were not long ago. Nothing on the road…. Yet! Where ru located in VIC? I’m heavily involved in the Benz club of VIC & maybe you should consider joining if you’re not a member already?

This will become more of an issue as electronic devices control critical systems. What was once just a minor glitch or gremlin could now be fatal. Be stuffed if I ever use a self driving car!!

Race results & no mention of the other 2 cars so likely to be a difference race. Of note is the laps completed & reason for DNF

This is a bit of info about the ignition system employed which was very advanced (!) for the time. https://www.elprocus.com/capacitor-discharge-ignition-cdi-system-working/

AMG definitely favoured twin throttles, separate plenums & cross rams back in the day. It worked well on the Mampe SLC but not on the Interserie AMG McLaren probably due to the very long runners.

The man in the white top & brown hat is non other than Hans Heyer ex Red Pig & Interserie AMG driver….
