This little wooden model was the proposal for the L4 Land Rover with three-cylinder engine... yes, seriously! Here's the six-cylinder intended for the P7 saloon. here's the trial of the six-cylinder in a Land Rover buck. The grille panel has been moved forwards and there are steering columns...

The following comes from James Taylor's facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/james.t.roverphile There's so much to say about this week's subject that I've decided to divide it into two. Part 2 therefore comes next week. Usual rules apply, please: share, copy or whatever, but don't forget...

Thanks guys. Hope to find it a good home.

1979 Mercedes-Benz 280SE. Australian Delivered. Update model with the nicer veolour carpet and full wood trim. Original Becker Mexico radio. Well optioned including alloy wheels, sunroof etc. 906 Grey Blue with cream MB-Tex interior, both in great shape. Original books, data card...

Australian delivered W126 300SE in striking signal red and cream MB-Tex interior. Both interior and exterior in nice shape. Car was repainted by the previous owner. I've owned the car six years and it was my daily driver until the covid lockdowns. Since then I have a different job and...

Asking $12k. Cheers.

Hi Patrick, not yet - I am in Thailand at the moment - I get back late 31/12, so will list it 1/1 and see how I go. If you know somebody interested please let me know. Bryce

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1994-mercedes-benz-e-class-e280-auto/SSE-AD-13675947? This is a real steal. the paint is a bit average, the E280 was only imported for about 18 months before they switched to the anemic E220 wagon. These cars have the wiring harness problems, but at...

Great update. Good to hear it’s now running.

What a great turnout. About double what we had at the NSW event!

making good progress!

My 1979 280SE W116. Australian delivered update model with velour carpet and full dash wood. 906 Grey Blue with cream MB-TEX interior, both in great condition. Original Becker Mexico cassette. Well optioned car with sunroof, alloys etc. A lot of work done in the last twelve months...

Well I have another 1,000km on the 280SE and it's running really well. Took it on the MBCNSW night drive to Bilpin the other night. The M110 really likes revs! Anyway, I'll probably put the car on the market in the new year. Anyone looking for a nice but not perfect 280SE let me know.

Lots of good progress here and great pictures detailing the work you're doing.

I thought that 6.9 was a bit of a basket case and was very lucky to get that price. Needed everything. Paint was stuffed, mechanical work. The works.

Sounds like a good solution. some kind of reversing assistance is almost a must in modern cars as you can't see the corners from the drivers seat. The worst were late 90s and early 2000s models that had the modern shape but not technology to help park them. As an example the W210 is much...

You're making great progress on this car. Good news the damage is limited to the intake manifold. keeps the job focused. Not really a surprise that the 6.9 needs a bigger radiator than a 450. And you want it to cool nicely when our weather goes back to hot again,.

I bet that did wonders for its longevity.

Great progress. Sounds like a good result if the engine itself is undamaged. A losing the EGR doesn’t seem like a loss. I’ve never heard of anyone failing an inspection due to EGR removal. and in any case there was a great thread on OzBenz where the poster removed all that crap from his...

Went from 46:15 to 52:17 Presumably this was to rationalize parts, as I don't think the rear axle itself fundamentally changed. Or possibly they were trying to solve some other problem like a resonance. 1980 USA models 450SEL and 450SL/SLC went with 2.65 also due to the CAFE laws they had...
