Welcome to the forum. that is a really nice usable classic you have there.

The whole import thing is really very interesting. I speak to a lot of people in the MB clubs in Australia who are looking to buy cars, mostly in NSW but sometimes in other states. 95% of the time, the one requirement they just will not budge on is that the car MUST be Australian delivered...

Personally I would fix yours if you can. At least you can take it to a good mercedes benz garage who has factory literature and they can fix it. Once you go custom fuel injection you're going to limit where you can take it and harm resale. Plus K-jet injectors are very thin, so not sure how...

I read this, and unlike most of these articles that are high level and superficial, this one went into a lot of really good detail on the model. I feel like the W116 has always been stuck in the shadow of the W126 and W108. Arguably, as few people use these cars daily anymore, the W116 is...

Ha! Yes I thought that photo was pretty awesome for that reason.

Great story. Always interesting to hear why people get into these cars.

Should also note that if this James Taylor article has you interested in a P4, there are always a few nice ones for sale here: https://roverp4guildaustralia.wordpress.com There can't be too many classics that give you so much car for such a small outlay as the Rover P4.

I should also note that I neglected to mention that as of March, I have now owned this car for 20 years. I've covered around 50,000km in that time.

as usual, a great event: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2023/06/auto-brunch-st-ives-june-2023/

I used the original amp that was sitting loose in behind the dash that has ‘Fletch’ written on it in sharpie. I assume he had it out for repair at one point.

Perhaps this car on the 1952 sales brochure was supposed to be Pastel Blue. If so, it was a very poor representation of the colour! This overhead view of a press demonstrator shows the new front end with the air vent in the open position. The interior changes were minor, and would not have...

The 1953 models The positive reception that greeted the 1952 models made clear that Rover did not need to make any major changes. The ones they did make were to the paint colour options. The Black, Ivory and Pastel Blue favourites were retained, but in place of the two greens came Sage Green...

At the Rover P4 National in mid-May, I wasn’t the only one struck by the low numbers of 1952 and 1953 models in attendance. It’s a shame that these models don’t get more enthusiast attention, because they incorporated huge strides in the development of the P4 range. So I thought I’d remind...

Will likely go to this event tomorrow.

I think very special cars are still getting good money - hence the A124 did well for example. The A124 is such a low production car and the 320 is really appreciated by collectors, especially in a good colour like that. 6.9s have dropped in value as so much is NLA, most Benz buyers are...

Well, the results are in for the shannons auction. The results were pretty low. Two issues. Firstly the collector car market is very soft right. Softest since the GFC I would say. Secondly, shannons main website was down for most of the main part of the bidding for the auction. The...

yes all LHD. There was a rumour for years and years that there was a single RHD model in Japan, but if it exists I would assume it was converted and not a real RHD.

Can't really tell - but since they made so few, probably not.

Less than 24 hours to go, grab a bargain!
