I'm assuming that the energy generating axle adds some load to the rig, but that additional load is less than the 2l per hour quoted in the article. I guess there must be a battery too, for when the trailer is waiting for a period of time not generating power. Still, its a very interesting...

I attended the public display of this event today. Pictures below. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2022/05/jensen-club-national-rally-display-2022/ No, I'm not a member, nor do I own a Jensen. I do like them though! I took my DS up to the drive. This sort of drive is where the...

Great photos, thanks for posting.

I always assumed the bottom colour on your 6.9 was 906 Grey/Blue, same as my 450SLC.

I've been thinking about putting my 560SEC and 450SLC back to stock radios. Only issue is that they have become so expensive on ebay. Anyone have a Mexico cassette in good cosmetic condition they would be willing to let go of for a reasonable price? I only need the head unit, the amp was...

Couldn't find it in the book, but my reccolection is that it was 1984 that the switches were changed from hard wired, to plug in. Of course, your car may have already been modified, you could remove the door trims and look. Interesting that one of your switches has a headrest button and one...

Still worth it - $44 vs $1500

Holden wagon is a good idea.

Looking at the data card, you need the regular switch, not the memory one. Regular one looks the same but doesn't have the 1 and 2 buttons. There is one complication, early W126's didn't have pluggable switches, they were hard wired. I can't remember if 82 is in that category, but I can...

Good that it's HK and not Japan. Japanese 380s were the same as USA models with their single row timing chain and 155hp output.

Car looks like it has a lot of promise. Have you looked up the data card yet?

Are you sure yours are this type? Would be unusual for a 380SE to have the memory seats and if it did even more unusual for the passengers side to have it too.

Now have the car back. Much lighter wallet but it’s smooth, has more power and no more check engine light. Shaft was bad even outside the range. There were some delays getting timing chain guides from Singapore for a month. So we had the loan car for a number of weeks. Loan car was an...

Yes would be interested to read more about these

I would avoid the VW, I have a friend with a similar model which needed pistons and rings due to a mfg fault and multiple trans repairs. He was lucky as the original owner VW paid some years after warranty. Porsche would be expensive too. If you want European maybe a w210 e430? in...

Yes, that is the same for us. We just have those silly little plates with the ugly purple font.

Agree. the mountain of torque is pretty important on these heavy cars.

Good luck with the sale. Looks like a good project. if I had more time....

Sounds good. be interested to see some pictures when you're working on it tomorrow. You also have the opportunity to photograph the first three generations of S-Class together (W116, W126, W140)

Michel, your 380 arrive yet? Do you still have the W140 also?
