Because a new member asked via PM, I’ll add some links to repairers & parts suppliers which may be able to assist in getting these HPF vehicles back up & running: http://www.600airsuspension.com/#hpf https://starmotorsny.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ser-HydroSuspGuide.pdf...

Anyone know the shelf life of unopened coolant? I’m not sure if I should use the old stuff or go to the expense of buying new stock...

Build date & location finally confirmed, along with some interesting details on options ordered. Strange they didn’t go for rear seat heaters. It would’ve been great to have a rear blind, but probably not much use in GB....

Aussie 420SEL:

560SEC 6.0 AMG widebody: https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19/paris/lots/r0041-1989-mercedes-benz-560-sec-amg-60-wide-body/733327

I may or may not still have a few.... 😉

Yes looks correct. Just remember they were banned in 1995 so possess it at your own risk (I doubt anyone would care & they work better if they’re still pressurised)!

Pretty confident they all had extinguishers when delivered. I probably have a few brackets & pix; I’ll have to check.

Lol! Not me BTW...

Those screws held the bracket... With coolant go 50/50 distilled water with factory concentrate or this stuff: https://www.valvoline.com/en-australia/our-products/coolant-and-antifreeze/zerex-g-05-antifreeze-concentrate

The Aussie cars had a metal bracket that held a yellow halon (BCF) extinguisher. I prefer these but they’re not kind to the ozone layer apparently: http://www.environment.gov.au/protection/ozone/halon/halon-disposal

After some cleaning:

Almost fully optioned with HPFE, split rear seats & rear blind! I even like the colour combo....

Similar to Dkubus, these guys can supply all sorts of performance parts for early Mercs. Apparently they’ve been around for years but I only just found them on FB... Another well kept secret unearthed! http://elbe.ee/contact/

Hi the hoses I just bought are NOS (I’m told) so I’m hoping they don’t burst when put to use!!!

Long skirts too!

Spoiler alert!!!
