Have you seen the Carobu 560 system they have recently started advertising? http://www.carobu.com/hb-sport Same principles could probably apply to the 6.9.

Maybe Tim, you could make Michel and offer he just can't refuse? Would look good next to that 202.

I've been in the USA and I had a bit of spare time. On a free morning, I went to a local car show in Wisconsin: http://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/07/16th-cars-that-time-forgot-car-show/ I had a free Saturday in Dallas so hit a couple of car museums...

I've been driving this Dodge for the last couple of days. It's a lot of fun and nothing beats the instant torque of a big v8. the car companies are trying to tell us we want smaller turbo engines. I say no! For the price they pay, this is a lot of car, even if it has...

After checking every magazine seller I went past I finally found a copy! I have a few long plane rides soon so this will give me reading material for one of them!

Interestingly even Jaguar had their limits. During the development of the 420, they decided that the BW35, which they had recently placed behind the 3.8 liter in the S-Type and MKII instead of the DG was not robust enough for the 4.2 liter engine and so they went with the BW8. I understand...

Here is the world's worst W126 ute conversion. Even well done, I don't see the attraction, but this thing is an abomination. https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-7745315/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1986-1987-mercedes-benz-300-se-automatic-ute?spr=true

This P5 MKIII Coupe is in lovely condition. For sale on the rover club homepage. Asking price $32,000 https://www.roverownersclub.com.au/classifieds/

If the AC is cold I would say it looks pretty good.

The wiring harness is the big one on these. They are biodegradable and they do biodegrade! Sounds like work has been done, so if the engine harness is done that is the one that most needs it. I think 1995 is still M104 engine, which is known for head gaskets.

I find the best P6 model a conundrum - the P3500S has the best spec, but I feel the earlier cars are far better. Better built, better looking, nicer interiors etc. In some ways for a very early 3500 with a 5 speed transmission swap out of a rover SD1 may be the ideal P6.

Spotted in a swanky hotel car park in Bangkok. I was there for dinner at the rooftop restaurant with a customer. Not the first car I would have imagined with such a paint job

There is a lot to be said for owner a signal red short wheelbase W126 as your daily driver. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/north-parramatta/cars-vans-utes/mercedes-benz-380se/1220235419

Thanks Helmet, sorry I had not seen your post. Are you referring to the european spec cars? I can't find a proper diagram for them, but from what I can tell the only function for vac retard on them is A/C related. On the aussie one, the manual seems to refer to B as the retard, unless I am...

I think Styria’s ears are burning!!! :D I do like the backbencher comment. Brings to mind a Tory backbencher of the 60s with his bowler hat and moustache. The fictitious Jim Hacker MP had to live with an Austin Princess!

Here is one of the very small numbers of P5B's equipped with a metal sliding sunroof. they were mentioned in the James taylor book but I have never seen one. the seller is based in WA and wants $38,000 for it. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/greenwood/cars-vans-utes/rover-p5b-coupe/1221176321

The ultimate in 80s bling, the Trasco 1000SEL. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273894398841 Despite many assuming it had a 10l engine, the 1000SEL was mechanically a 500SEL, but I think the name came from it being twice as good or something like that. THis one looks like it was dragged out of...

I don't think there were many LWB W126's with a 5 speed manual made: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-mercedes-benz-300sel/
