    To add further, I am also trying to work out in the diagram I have annotated, what is plugged in where on the regular K-Jet 450. On the Aussie one, A is vacuum advance, which means there is NO advance at idle, and peak advance at moderate throttle openings (i.e. cruising on the motorway) B...

    k jet 450 Vac Advance/Retard diagram non-smog

    Does anyone have a diagram of the vacuum lines for the M117 450 K Jet for the rest of the world models? I've got the vacuum diagrams for both the AU and US models complete with EGR and lots of retard built in. For reference mine is a 1977 model. Since the EGR is long since disconnected on my...

    Mercedes S-Class W140

    This E220 Coupe is unsual for an auction car in that it has a full service history. https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0019-3439404/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1995-mercedes-benz-e220-automatic-coupe the E220 is very economical, but I found the sedan version my dad had at one point rather...

    This low mileage 560SEC looks nice. Terrible ad though, no mention of sevice history or anything that would prove the low miles. there are some signs like the needles on the instrument cluster still being orange and the interior that would make you think it might be true, but I would not pay...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Meant to post these after the RR show last October. This is a P5 Coupe that is under restoration. The owner has had it repainted in the two tone scheme and had the blue leather interior re-done. At the time of photos it was not quite back together with some trim missing, but I saw the car...

    No. There are a few variants. The AU one has 178KW, the normal one has 200KW, and the high compression one 220KW (300hp). I'll post a bit more about the differences later, but the engine in Dora2 is the high output engine.
