Final row. Lot 274: This one has been up a few times now. Ruined front spoiler, needs a general tidy up. I suspect that's because its in average condition but the seller sees the prices for nice ones and wonders why his/hers doesn't get those prices. At the right price could be a good...

Lot 269: This looks like a quite nice car and worth keeping an eye on the price. Seems in nice condition overall. The headliner is quite discoloured, so I would want to make sure the sunroof drains are not letting water into the cabin. I think the series 2 wheels work really well on the...

Lets see if there is anything better with the 2nd row: Lot 256: Fist one that looks halfway interesting, a great model in a great colour. Let down by having W108 seats, and I think door trims. Shame, as a W109 should have its proper equipment. I would pass on it for that reason alone...

Lot of interesting cars coming up this weekend at the Lloyds Auction. Here is a bit of a preview. https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/AuctionLots.aspx?kw=CCEUR&pgs=100 Lot 250: The auction is all confused, on one hand saying its a 180, on the other a W180 220S. Its def a four cylinder...

Obviously you would have seen the 280SE made it to the show. The engine ran well and the idle actually settled down to where it should after more driving. I'm not going to drive it far until I fix the tie rod end and drag link. Will also check steering shock and idler arm while I'm at...

yes your 6.9 would have really stood out.

I have their spheres in my 560SEL and have experienced no problem. have also used their brake hoses, again no problem.

It was a great day with lots of lovely cars on display. 11 W116's that must be a club record. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2022/06/50-years-of-the-mercedes-benz-s-class/

On the way to the s class event in the 280SE, it’s first outing and only the 3rd time I’ve driven it on the street. Last night I wired up the antenna, reinstalled the carpets and floor mats, checked tyre pressures, changed all fuses, washed the car, refueld and took it on an extended test...

Last time I got mine from Shane Herbert, and they were not that expensive, but that was W126 SLS cells, not 6.9

As an update on the 280SE, I’ve made good progress and it’s first outing may end up being the MBCNSW 50 year anniversary of the S class event. The w116 waa the first official S class so it would be good to bring the car to that event. It’s now riunning pretty well. Having the WUR cleaned...

The standard spec of the USA models was always interesting. For some reason they always removed the warning triangle and 1st aid kit. Not sure why this was - if its was legislative, or they thought they would be sued it it didn't work. who knows. Given so many of these cars were sold...

I was in the USA for work, las vegas to be specific. I had a little time the afternoon I arrived, so I did what most people would do while in Las Vegas, skipped the casinos and went to a self service junkyard. I had spotted they had a 560SEL and I had only been there two weeks. In...

This car is coming up for auction, and on the surface it looks reasonable. However, the more I look at this car the less I like it. https://burnsandcoauctions.com.au/portfolio/1979-mercedes-benz-450sel-6-9lt/ It's clearly an import, yet it has a KM/H speedo, which makes the whole 88k on...

That car was unused - as in four figure mileage.

Yes, that's right. the St Ives one is 1st sunday and eastern suburbs one is normally last sunday.

I made it back again today and as usual it was a great event. Huge variety and some really interesting cars. I was parked next to a V12 Toyota Century. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2022/06/auto-brunch-st-ives-june-2022/

The engine was worse than it looks in these photos. Looking down at the camshaft, it was completely toast.

I recently stopped by Styria's workshop to pick up a couple of radios he had for me. I was able to take a few photos of what he will probably update on the site too. His son bought a P6 3500S in the last year or so, and styria has been doing an engine swap. I'll let him explain the...

Was able to find what I needed, thanks to Styria.
