I sold it rather than importing it. Only got $2800USD. SEC's are worthless in the states unless they are concours and with 50k miles. Still, I only paid $3400 and I used it for 2.5 years and drove it all over the country. I had another SEC I used to drive in the winter as a winter...

My brother is bringing over his W123 tomorrow as he has been complaining that at full lock the steering is making groaning noises (more than cars normally make on full lock). I first told him to check the fluid level in case the pump is sucking air, whcih he has - it was a bit low so he topped...

There is a 2007 model that I have seen on carsales. the price is high, but the good news is that I don't think it is affected by the balance shaft issues as I found the engine number cut offs on another forum, which I see as M272 9xx 30 468993 and using the russian vin decode site, the car I...

Does anyone have any tips on specific things to look at on an S211? Am thinking of getting one for my wife. Going to look at one this weekend.

My flight out of LAX was canceled last night so I ended up with a morning in LA to spare. I've always wanted to visit the Peterson museum which was excellent. For those who are interested I have uploaded some photos: http://blog.docmong.com/2016/08/the-peterson-museum/

This was a great event and there were some really interesting car, in particular in the 2nd shed. http://blog.docmong.com/2016/07/the-great-shed-tour-of-2016/

Interesting article from the good weekend in 1985 about Roger Rogerson's Continental. At the time fmr Sgt Rogerson was being investigated for Perverting the course of justice, he claimed he got the $110,000 from the sale of a Bentley Continental.

has anyone used this product? I've seen a few people on other forums swear by it and my DS spent many years in Adelaide so the regular cleaners you buy only do so much. Its quite expensive, which I don't mind if it works, but if its just the same as all the others then there is little...

I would encourage anyone who has an interest in French cars to stop by the All French day on July 17. It is free for spectators, $10 if you want to enter a car. I'll be there, most likely with my TA. Sunday 17th July - ALL FRENCH CAR DAY SILVERWATER PARK Start: 10 a.m. Location...

There is a W116 on carsales like this. There are some quite nice pictures, but in the description it says they are from the cars heydey and it has been stored for many years and is now in poor condition.

Here is a nice looking P6 for sale. Been a while since I saw a nice one, most of these you see driving around are real bangers unfortunately: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Rover-3500-1974/SSE-AD-3823715

Yes please do. I think there are plenty of cars that have been overlooked by the serious collectors but were either groundbreaking, or had some really interesting characteristics or a sense of occasion that set them aside from the pack. The P5 coupe does this for me as the four door coupe...

Yeah they have done some quite interesting cars over the years. I wouldn't call what they do restoration but they do quite a good job of explaining what they do. The sales guy is a bit of a pillock at times but it is quite a watchable show. Seeing this show and spending some time at the...

Are these rover specific or Lucas? There is a lot of Lucas stuff now available out of the UK. I've been looking at it for my slough built Traction which of course is all Lucas electrics. I've found many parts have a citroen part number and a lucas part number and if you can find out what...

An interesting engine arrangement that I think adds to the uniqueness of these cars. Nice to see it so clean and without the bonnet and front grill too. Bryce

makes sense I had never seen one in that colour - it really suits it. My favorite of the standard colours was the admiralty blue with the silver (not sure of the name) roof. Love to hear more about the cars and see more pictures as you get time and make progress. Bryce PS: I sent this...

Looks great Styria, I am a big fan of these cars and I think the yellow paintwork looks great. So many are in that grey colour which in my opinion does them no favors. Pretty good spect too with the manual overdrive and the sunroof. Notice you have the P5B wheels on it as well. Please...

You can get a workshop manual on CD for about $20-$30 on USA ebay. The quality of the scans is poor, but it will provide a useful reference. the original paper manuals are also available on USA ebay. if you are patient, these sell for about USD$100. They are much more usable than the...

Interesting article about the different generations of the Alfa Spider: http://www.hemmings.com/magazine/hsx/2015/05/Four-Aces---Alfa-Romeo-Spiders/3748524.html?refer=hsxweekly
