The specifications and pricing structure make compelling assessments - how about the supply of Chinese sourced parts ? That aspect, to me, seems a real worry. Another Chinese manufacturer, in fact two LDV and Haval - again they make a hell of a lot of sense. Spares may be an issue...

Okay, please ignore one of the photos - it's a double. However, if you think that this is a heck of a lot of photos, you're dead right, but I haven't even shown the carpet material for the the knee pad panels, not the quarter panels that are positioned near the occupants' front feet. So, there...

I just wonder how many owners are aware of what is involved in replacing the carpet in their 6.9, or for that matter, just about any 116 model. To provide an overview of what is involved, I am illustrating by way of pictorial information, the true extent of the work. For starters - all, or most...

Mark, a late reply but based on recent experiences. I've not bought any upholstery supplies, whether that be Leather or otherwise, EXCEPT for carpets, for some four to five years now. I just recently lodged an enquiry with a very well known supplier in California, namely GAHH, and the news is...

Hi Pete, no problem - I have the part on hand. I am not sure at this stage, but you may need an alternative lock and key. I will check tomorrow to work out what you are likely to need. Regards Styria

BenzBoy, that is indeed a good outcome. It was probably four to five years ago that I witnessed a Windscreen guy remove tint very quickly and successfully, and I thought at the time just how easy it looked. It must have been steam. Without wishing to be tactless, was the job expensive ? It'd be...

Apologies for duplicate.

Some four to six years ago (please don't quote me !), I did come across a very stubborn pump (housing) that I simply could not get past the crankshaft pulley - try as I might. Removing of the crankshaft pulley requires a good quality, and sturdy puller which I did not possess at the time. Come...

BenzBoy, I have just spoken to an experienced Windscreen Fitter/Remover. I used him the other day. He suggested to use a "Steamer", presumably hot, and that there are Companies or tradespersons outthere that can do the job without damaging the fine wiring. Regards Styria...

Bryce, I have several 'NEW' engine mounts on hand that you may wish to consider or have a look at. However, I am unable to confirm which model. Somewhere, there must be some schematic drawings that would illustrate shape and size of various mounts. You should also take into consideration that...

Absolutely good news John. It is only in the last three months that I have had an involvement with a 6.9 that would groan and gurgle with a set up that was being used. When stationary, and on Idle, one could hardly move the Steering wheel. Another workshop obtained three replacement hoses...

Unfortunately, right at this moment I can't come up with a satisfactory "solution". A few years ago, I became involved with the removal of tints from a Nissan SUV, and it took a long, and frustrating time. I obviously used the wrong material - whatever it was. I used a heat gun, my finger...

John, as best as I can determine, your prices are fair. Are you able to price the rubber block and also the Alloy Housing that fits between Pump and Engine Block. Regards Styria

Okay, some more thoughts. As best as I can tell, it is a 1960-1961 Mark1(1A) as evident by the chrome surrounds of the two main Instrument Dials, plus the early one piece Head/Inlet manifold (as best as I can tell) and also the Rover 3 Litre lettering on the upper part of the Radiator Grille...

Well, well - some interesting snippets. By the looks of things, the guys are quite taken by this Rover. I suspect that the guys are not terribly familiar with some of the finer points of the car being illustrated. Firstly, that cruise control module is in fact the wiper motor. Rovers didn't...

Not too sure of what to make of this post. Is Geoff talking about a car different to Memnoch, Milan Brown in colour, and I wonder if he has recommenced his efforts in finishing off the car which, I believe, is still in Perth with the Panel Beaters. Maybe if Geoff reads this post (thread), he...

Well, the main consideration is that you got paid for it. BTW, I've not yet seen it figure in the Bash event. Maybe it's languishing somewhere being totally unloved and lonely. It's a bit like a Swiss guy (chief) that purchased my 300SEL with M189 engine and I understand that he was starting...

Geoff, do you have a time frame in mind ? From the pictures I have seen elsewhere, this car of yours seems to have a lot going for it. Especially, as I can recall clearly, you purchased a hell of a lot of new parts probably about four to five years ago. What exactly is next on your agenda ...

Perhaps you can see what I mean by referring to the dash when compared with the Pearl Inlaid offerings by some of the Mercedes models of that era. Nevertheless, the Horch Dash in this most unusual timber pattern also constitutes a work of art, as some of the other Chrome fittings that are...

When I travelled to Europe in 2005 and 2008, I was fortunate in stumbling across C. F. Mirbach, a prestige and Classic Cars dealership located in Bavaria between Munich and Salzburg. It was an unforgettable experience, and that is where I laid eyes on my only Horch I had ever seen, and...
