    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...

    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...

    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...

    Cranky about non-original chrome wheel arch trims!!!

    Hi All - I have surprised myself at how annoyed I am regarding the scourge of non-original chrome wheel arch trims fitted to seemingly the majority of 107s and 116s (and 126s, 140s too) out there in Carland. (Apologies to those Members and guests who have and/or like them. No offence...

    6.9 fuel consumption

    I'd be very interested in fuel consumption data amongst the 6.9 community... My AUS-delivered model delivers 20-21 litres/100km (about 13.5mpg) when driven sparingly in the Sydney metro area (not much peak hour or bumper-to-bumper). I am a bit discouraged by this even though it is a...

    Great Saturday morning

    Sometimes a great drive just ... happens. My 6.9 had been closed up all week with all the rain we've been having but finally this morning the sun broke through and, with all windows cracked, sun roof open and some good music on the Becker Mexico, I took off for a spin around Terrey Hills and...
