    6.9 advertised as 450SEL?

    I came across this eBay advert for a 450SEL, however, the VIN number seems to be a 6.9 -- and a very late production model. Can you guys confirm my suspicions? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL_W0QQitemZ220514464129QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item3357afb181

    Idle on a 6.9

    I just decided to drive the 690SEL home tonight from work (it is usually garaged in the office complex) and noticed that the idle in neutral was over 1000 rpms. Is that normal (the car was relatively warm)? What should the idle be on cold and on warm in Neutral and in Drive?

    Wheel colours

    Thank you Simon and everyone who commented. The 690SEL was a project that started as a 'cheap' quick job and evolved into something a little more than I anticipated. From a 'quick' fix-it-for-fun, it ended up having new front end, new discs and brakes all around, new engine mounts, new...

    We all have different tastes and we don't always agree with others and that's what makes this world such a wonderful place to live in. Here is a new interpretation of the Bundts, as I see it on the 690SEL. I'd like your opinions. I do apologise for the low resolution pictures

    Got me a chin spoiler finally...

    Nice spoiler Nutz. I've never seen that variety, especially the ones that replace the entire bumper. I have the AMG style repo available here (from Styria). I have seen W126 side skirts come up on eBay regularly, however, they are for an SE and not the LWB. What is yours?

    Wanted parts for a 280ce (w123)

    Looking for a bonnet, grille, headlights, bumper and some front bits for a W123 280CE that I have bought recently. A full car that is in need of parting is another option I would consider. Thanks
