And here is B158LS, for sale here in Australia for AUD$150k. Being a late 4 1/4 liter, it is a nice example of the 'razor edge' coachwork that was popular in the late 30s. personally I prefer the earlier styles in the 3 1/2 liter and early 4 1/4's. Being a late car it has the overdrive...

Some of you know I am a fan of the Derby Bentley. This is B118HK, and early 4 1/4 liter from 1936 and one of the nicest coachbuilt bodies i've seen by J Gurney Nutting.

Interesting 3l manual overdrive in the uk. I like the colour combo of burgundy/grey. a little tatty but shows the lines of the car well. for some reason it is sporting a single lucas fog light. I also don't like the mirrors halfway upo the front wings, something you see on a lot of uk...

This 6.9 looks like a decent example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/202325855490

Nice two tone rover at a recent show: This one is a nice colour and has the lucas driving lights

Octane Magazine did a feature to see the Northern Lights in a cheap ebay Silver Shadow. You can see the behind the scenes look in these videos. Worth the watch: Note, it is about an hour to watch both videos. VIdNcbsgOiM R8kLE9vVlJ0 I don't subscribe to the magazine, so have not read...

https://www.autotrader.com/car-news/beige-luxury-car-interior-dead-281474979855362 I can't remember the last time I saw one that wasn't black

somebody needs to buy this and save it from the ridiculous suspension it is now sporting: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camperdown/cars-vans-utes/classic-mercedes-280-s-1969-model-for-sale-sydney/1183514335

I've been staggered by a couple of recent examples of depreciation I have seen in luxury cars. 1) My E350T. Purchased 9 years old with a full year of rego for $18,000. Sold new for over $130k. That is almost $13k per year of depreciation. 2) My brother is buying an E63 BMW (650i)...

Good photo gallery of the Citroen CX: https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-citroen-was-made-to-crush-continents-with-a-family-onboard The CX didn't do well through the banger phase and few are left. There are a lot of untrue rumours about these cars like how the C-Matic transmission can't...

While not related to Syria's 3500, this one for sale has a great red interior! https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cygnet/cars-vans-utes/1971-rover-3-5-litre-sedan/1182444079

Was some great buys there. If I had more time, I would have bought a couple of cars and some boxes of parts and out of them built 1-2 really good ones. For example there were freshly painted body shells with no engines or interiors going for $80.

See below for the first part of an excellent article on automotive styling great Paul Bracq. This first part covers his history at Mercedes-Benz and some of his key designs like the W111 coupe cabrio, W108 etc. There is a part 2 on the same website I have not yet read that covers his career...

Interesting article: http://classicsworld.co.uk/news/old-tyres-under-investigation/ My own experience is that old tyres even with full tread go hard and deliver unsafe handling somewhere between 5-10 yrs old.

Red S1 W126 anyone? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/north-epping/cars-vans-utes/1985-mercedes-benz-380-sedan/1180419637 $3900 Looks in decent shape for the price. Unusual to see a 380 with plastic hubcaps

500SL 107. In my view the best of the 107 SL's as the 560 looked over done with the various spoilers, 3rd brake light etc. https://www.pickles.com.au/cars/item/-/details/CP-01-82--Mercedes-Benz--SL500--Convertible--4-Seats--2-Doors/3020065667 Car looks ok from the fairly poor quality...
