https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333221970815 Here is a desirable series 1 280E. Much nicer than the more common series 2 cars you see.

This SEC is the more desirable Series 2, but most people will assume its a series 1 as we didn't get the series 2 until 1986, whereas in Europe it was available late 1985. It is in the very popular 199 Blue/Black, and it has nice AMG wheels. I don't like the smoked tail lenses but they are...

This is a seriously nice 280CE: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/323817599054

This Daimler 250 v8 is a way of getting the MK2 experience for a fraction of the cost: https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-10037690/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1968-daimler-250-automatic-sedan

That is a great looking MK2. Also nice to see one that has not been turned into a coombs replica.

Somebody needs to buy this to prevent it from being slammed and bagged. Looks like a lovely original one. https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-10037689/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1969-mercedes-benz-230-w114-rwd-automatic-4-speed-sedan

There is a company in the USA who is doing interesting Dyno testing on a M117 560. https://www.facebook.com/Carobuengineering/ This is an average mileage USA spec engine (same as AU). The first thing they noticed was that they needed to recondition the heads as the valve guides were worn...

Question for Brian, why is this not valued any more than a Regular Bentley Mark VI? I know the Mark VI is not the most desirable Bentley, but my assumption would be a coachbuilt model from a reputable coachbuilder would have been worth more. This body looks much nicer than the normal MK VI...

Here is a P5B coupe in WA for sale. It is in very nice shape, and has some customizations like the picnic tables. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Rover-35-LT-1969/SSE-AD-6065550/?Cr=6 Asking $46k, been on the market for a bit.

its on next monday. I stopped by today to check out the lots. Some pictures and descriptions can be found here: http://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/05/shannons-sydney-autumn-2019-auction-preview/

It's a bit much for me, but I do applaud the original owner for going beyond the colours that were on offer at the time.

Mellow yellow. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sutherland/cars-vans-utes/my09-2008-turbo-diesel-7-seater-mercedes-benz-e280-1-in-australia/1213516788

Found this description of the development of the car, which was quite interesting: https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-p5-review/the-cars-rover-p5/ Styria, this paragraph may be of interest to you: In terms of powering the P5, the original plan of introducing it with a new engine...
