Had a quick look under the car, the kidney mufflers are new and there there is zero rust. I replaced an exhaust hanger and a shift bushing. Need one more exhaust hanger. The suspension has been done by pedders at some point. I didn't have a chance to look more closely to see the brand of...

This car was introduced in the COVID19 projects thread, but I thought it would be worth starting a specific thread on this car. I had to go to the shops today so I went and got the 560 to give it a further drive and take some better photos. Some more thoughts are here...

This is a pre-merger AMG SLC in a double green livery. These cars are starting to fetch real money although I am not convinced that AMG had much do with some of the mods outside the body kit. It doesn't have the cohesiveness of Michel's 107 AMG. They also mention a different diff ratio...

He is right about only about 5000 made. The rare one is the long wheelbase version (not 300SEL, but 300SE Lang) though. The prices quoted are silly though. The valuable one is the 300SE Cabriolet and to a lesser extent coupe. Even the long wheelbase four door is not even close to that value.

This parts car in the uk looks like a hpf. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-560-SEL-Engine-Runs-Smoothly-Non-Driver-Faulty-Hydraulic-Pump-/133344218105

Interesting colour combo on this mkII coupe. I like it but I don't think it goes with the interior. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283799739041

My brother in law had his car written off in the big storms recently. He has a budget of 18k to spend and is looking for a big hatch or small station wagon. He is looking at cars that are a couple of years old. Previously he had a corolla and if Toyota brought the wagon version in that...

Is it part of the RR owner uniform?

That 6.9 that sold at shannons for 66k a while back is for sale again, on carsales for 32k. That price seems far more in line with that they actually sell for. It looks like a nice car. Given that owner would have spent money on the car, they have sure taken a bath on it...

I've never seen the Renault Torino before. I just looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently it came from an Argentinian acquisition. Are any here in Australia?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VojePSOrnYw VojePSOrnYw This ad highlights the safety features of the W126. It's a testament to how strong these cars are.

Most people know about the Berline (Sedan) and Safari (Wagon), and even the Chapron convertible. But the small number of coupes that were built by Chapron are far rarer. Personally, I don't like the proportions of the Cabriolet, but the Coupe models are really interesting. There were only...

Sounds like you've taken a big step forward with the HPFE system, doesn't sound like too much more work to get the car back on the road more permanently.

My Dad had one (Saloon, not Wagon) for a week, I think as a loan car or rental. It was still quite new. His comment was that it was nice and smooth, but had the turning radius of the QE2.
