    Another Project

    Well, Jerry has been busy panel beating and repairing the minor dents that were around. The ‘Ghost’ (as the Lebanese Benz lovers like to call the W140) is in the Spraybooth to paint the bumper bars and the lower section of the body. Here are some pics prior to that.

    6.9 6 speed manual kit

    Now that would make the world of difference, but would a W210 gearbox handle the torque of a 6.9?

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Whoever buys it can get it painted by Jerry. I'm sure he'll do you a good deal.

    Another Project

    I guess I couldn't let this one pass, although this model is probably the one I least like or desire, but it was too good to let go, at least on paper and in the photo. It has books from new and could do with a bit of body work and a respray. Time will tell if I made the right decision. I'll...

    The two Cs

    My 1990 Spur II had a lovely 4-speed automatic and was a dream on the motorway, especially when my son Albert drove and I was dozing off in the back electric retractable seat :p

    Insurance options

    I did some digging and found out two more insurance companies that specialise in classics/vintage/special cars. One was Famous Car Insurance and the other Enthusiast Motor Insurance. I called the first (Famous) five days ago and was told that someone will call me back, because only that person...

    Insurance options

    Gentlemen, I've just received my car insurance renewal for my seven vehicles (under one classic policy) and was shocked to see that the premium had doubled :eek::eek::eek: I have been with Ryno Insurance since I left Shannons' in disgust many years ago because of their new Suncorp-inspired...

    The new bumper bar

    My CLK430 has suffered a series of mishaps with the front bumper bar. It started with one of my sons parking too close to those bumps that stop you from parking too close to walls in car parks. That cracked it and ripped it on the way out. Jerry fixed it with fibreglass and repainted it. Then...

    I doubt this is more than just an AMG body Kit with some Ronal wheels and a Guigiaro steering wheel. AMG used to fit Italovolante steering wheels de rigeur. The speedo is unchanged (normally changed to 300km/h with AMG in the middle) and standard seats. Also AMG would not fit chrome wheel arches...

    The Delage V12

    A very intersting article on the famous Delage V12 wich had disappeared and was lately 'found' and is inthe process of being rebuilt. A french article that can be easily read with the help of the 'translate' feature in Chrome...
