Lot 433 - There are a few white 126's for sale, but unlike some of the others, this one actually looks nice, and early bidding reflects that. Comes with books and original becker.

Lot 430 - 380SEC Kiwi import. Ordered with MPH speedo and heated seats for some reason, but MPH speedo is gone. Perhaps intended to be taken to the UK? Wheels are hideous, and the velour upholstory has been replaced with post 1988 seats, but overall it looks ok if the price is right...

The ones that are at least worth looking at: Lot 410 - 230/8. Nice example out of long term ownership. The 230/8 is not a particularly desirable model, but I would much rather a nice 230 than a shabby 280. And its a series 1 car which are much better looking. Lot 420 - 1977...

This month's Lloyds offerings:

One of the reasons I did the transmission instead of limping it along for another year or two, Is that I plan on driving the car to Melbourne in November. I wanted the peace of mind that it would get me there and back happily.

Yes i've now owned this car 5 years - time has flown!

Yes much better. Before it would not be very happy when cold. resistance in reverse and it would erractically shift at times, sometimes smoothly, sometimes banging into gear. Not it works really well.

Posting some of the photos as it really shows the strength of the W116 passenger cell:

think you bought the wrong car mate. 1930 Cadillac v16.

Looks good!

I was thinking something like a Mustang with a V8

Good luck with the sale. the 500 is the one you want.

I'm not sure either, but the PRV 6 that was in the Delorean wasn't the best performer, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is a custom job. That engine looks pretty big, so wouldn't surprise me if its a V8 conversion.
