Updated the original post with a few pictures.

I was told the other night that the MBCNSW aims to drive 107 C and R107s over the harbour bridge in a long line in November. If they can rustle up that many, should be an impressive sight.

Brian, was your loaner ‘AMG line’? I’ve been told that these cars have incredibly stiff suspension. Much more so than the real AMG cars.

I recently hit a kangaroo in the car and it is being repaired.

I’ve been the owner of this car for about the last ten years. Basically for those not familiar with the model, the 220SE coupe came out in 1961, at the Geneva motor show where it was somewhat eclipsed by the Jaguar E-Type. A shame as it’s probably Mercedes most attractive post war design and...

The green one is in the lead with only a few hours to go:

I attended this event with the MBCNSW. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/05/national-motoring-heritage-day-2021/ I managed to park next to a 300SL Roadster!

Not likely! But they are still nice cars. I like 6.9s, but I already have a 560SEL and there are other cars I would be more interested in if I was in the market right now.

This is a tale of two 1979 6.9s, both Aussie delivery, both in nice shape. They are both up at the lloyds auction. The first is 6132 a 12/79 complianced model: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=23105&lid=2857465&pgn=2&pgs=100 The second is 6032, also 12/79...

Looked like a nice car. I hope the new owner enjoys it.

Do you have the data card? Mercedes may be able to cut one for you. They no longer sell ignition barrels for this model, but I think they can still cut keys if you have the key code. if you don't, they will charge you a highway robbery fee to access the data card.

I had a look in some of my Jag books. They are called GKN Kent wheels and they were available on the higher end Jags during the early XJS and Series II XJ. Here is an XJ12C that I photographed in the Jaguar heritage collection for example.

The JDCA ran an event today celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar e-Type. I attended along with 57 other E-Types. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/04/60th-anniversary-of-the-jaguar-e-type/

Progress on the floors, have ground down the surface rust and treated with rust paint. Will cover with the 906 grey blue once properly dried. While I had the front seat out, got the rear seat bottom out to clean it properly.

Now have all new hoses and also rear calipers. Brakes are now very good!

That is quite the collection you had there! I bought a P5 MKIIc coupe from the Flynn auction a couple of years ago. While it was in a sorry state, you could see there was something special about the car and that a nice one would be a very nice place to be. In any case, parts from that car...

That is quite cool.

I think the winner is Nab and his 280S pulling the trailer. Congrats and good to see the car out and about!
