Interesting that this very rare car had a similar (if not the same) driveline as the CW311. Pity we can’t see much of the intake. 7.4L 450hp, originally a 6.3 M100.

This is not progress....:mad::confused::(:eek:

Some things you may not have known at the intro of the range in Australia.

Unfortunately I missed out on this one as it ventured out of my price limit... Seems someone else knew exactly what it was and a bidding war followed for a brief period. As a first time bidder the Grays process seems to favour the seller with auction finish time extended if bidding continues...

Search this site & you may find what you need.... I haven’t tried them yet but a mate recommended them. https://www.ozwidetools.com.au/

The car actually inspired me to seriously consider LPG on a 6.9 with my own unique mods. I’m kinda glad in a way that didn’t work out!

I saw this one back in 2002 (ish) at a car dealer showroom at 1 Neerim Grove, Hughesdale, VIC. I didn’t have the money to buy it (and a few alarm bells were ringing), so I had to keep looking. From memory it was around $10k...

Cleaned TB for TPS conversion & injector sleeves...

Give these guys a try and they can make cams to suit your requirements. A mate has used them for his hillclimb 450SE. https://tighecams.com.au/

A lot has changed in 40 odd years!!

Worthy of some investigation: https://www.worlduph.com/mercedes_benz/w126/sedan/

Might be worth a look.... https://leatherworldtech.com/mercedes-leather-dye-color-chart/

I finally managed to free some space on my old phone & it’s now easier to find old images which I can now post... Dora on the way to the steam cleaner & the undercarriage & HPF after spending a few hours & $30. Next time I’ll remove the wheels & go nuts(er)!

Things are finally happening! No thanks to 2020.... Plus the throttle has been dropped off for TPS conversion.

This may actually be the first workshop for MKB and not AMG at all. MKB did most of the R&D for AMG.

I have it on good authority this was taken at Lausitzring, probably during testing since there’s no livery yet. It’s apparently the only venue for European 'NASCAR' to run on. Now I just have to find video of the car...

Playing around with air boxes to see what might work. If nothing suits from the MB parts bin I might have to go custom like most other parts for the EFI.
