    R/C107 not W107

    Pedantry and correctness leads to a request to Admin to rename this section as R/C107. There was no W107. See: http://media.daimler.com/dcmedia/0-921-657476-1-1279283-1-0-0-0-0-0-11702-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0.html

    Classic value - the W116

    It's fair to say that TK members love and value their cars disproportionately compared to what they presently might realise in terms of dollar value. I'd contend it's time to 'talk up' the value of our cars, consistent with reason. It doesn't help when we are overly critical about the...

    Fiat Abarth 500

    From when I first saw the generation 1 Honda Jazz launched in 2001, I was struck with how, like so often with Japanese styling studios, they had flattered a European marque by imitation. I refer to none other than the W168 A-Class Mercedes-Benz. How apt, seeing this is primarily an MB...

    Bridgestone MY-02 tyres on W168 A190

    For a while we have been putting up with cheap, mis-matched tyres on our A-class. The front had Champiros and the rear Accelera Alphas. Both types could only be described as cheap and nasty. They were fitted by the dealer that sold the car and suffered from flat spots, convex tread blocks and...

    280SE when new in 1975

    With only 1,500km at the time, here is our family 280SE. Photo was taken in Italy in the spring of '75, not long after delivery at Sindelfingen. The following year the car arrived in Melbourne and made the journey to a new life in Hobart. She was last seen in Canberra in late 1981: I still...

    A-Class launch last night

    We attended quite spectacular A-Class launch last night. Think MB will do well with this car in its segment. A180 starts at AUD40K on road, thru to AUD60+K for optioned up A200 Sport. A45 AMG in July. Garry Crick Prestige Sunshine Coast used twilight airport as backdrop complete with music...

    W116 with column shift

    Early W116s (at least 280S/SE/SEL) were available with auto column shift/gear selector (Lenkradschaltung). This brochure shot also showed a rare combination of no radio but with air-conditioning (Klima-Anlage)! Nowadays, we have come full circle with the W212 and W221 using column-mounted auto...
