    My Citroen DS21

    Some may recall my DS was in a smash last september and its now being fixed. Insurance was going to have to paint the front half of the car, and the paint job was not the greatest, so I am getting the repairer to paint the back part too. The repairs are now done and the painting will begin...

    Car of the week

    This 300SE would be worth a look. Sharp price, low miles, seems ok condition. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-300SE-1989/SSE-AD-4820242/?Cr=18 This 300D is also interesting as it has a manual transmission. Miles are very high though. I'm not really into...

    Parts car for BenzBoy

    Its listed as an 1884 model, I guess Rolls Royce were developing the S Spirit model for about 90 years: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROLLS-ROYCE-1884-SILVER-SPIRIT-114-000-KLMS-DAMAGED-STARTS-AND-DRIVES-UNREG/142395633379

    why does the 500SE have a shorter wheelbase than other SWB W126?

    I think you're right. the 5mm difference also exists on the Gen 1 cars, and on the LWB:

    why does the 500SE have a shorter wheelbase than other SWB W126?

    Looks like I was wrong about the 560SE, its the same as the 500. So the 500 and 560SE have the shorter wheelbase, but the 560 also has a higher ride hight. 260/300/420 have the normal wheelbase but 500 and 560 have the 5mm shorter one. I'll have to get out the brochure collection to...

    why does the 500SE have a shorter wheelbase than other SWB W126?

    I've seen this spec a few times, where the 500SE has unique measurements in terms of wheelbase size of any other W126. All the others, including the 560SE are the same except the 500. Does anyone know why?
