    [JT] Rover P4 Dropheads and Coupes

    The lines of JET 1 worked extremely well when adapted as a drophead coupé. This is the first of the Tickford dropheads, the black car.

    W126 500SEL full hydro???

    Just found this old thread. This is a factory option, it uses petrol to heat the cabin of the car by heating the coolant. Was never offered in Australia for obvious reasons.

    C107's 1981 240D W123

    As I posted in the Projects Thread, I recently purchased a 1981 240D. I wasn't really looking one, but this super original car fell into my lap and I couldn't say no to it. I've been enjoying driving it so far as its a good contrast from my other cars.

    This is one of the nicest W114s I've seen in many years: https://www.carbids.com.au/c/allbids-car-auctions/classic-unique-sports/12-1970-mercedes-benz-230-w114-4d-sedan-cream-23-1528787 Looks like original plates and still has the AWA radio that would have been dealer fitted.
