I've missed out on a couple of buyers being busy with work and work travel (one even was willing to pay for the car by deposit and pick up the next day), so I have just enrolled the car to the shannons may auction today. Car will be sold unreserved, so will sell either way.

I could see that working very well in europe, on heavily trafficed trunk routes. Might be a bit more difficult in Australia, but perhaps you would get a return doing the hume corridor between Melbourne->Sydney->brisbane. of course the truck can go into the faster lane, but I have wishful...

aftermarket roof racks now gone. My wife wanted a set and they fit her car perfectly. I found the proper S124 cross bars for the car. looks much better.

I use Zymol, which I have found softens the leather up quite a lot. Not sure where you get it here, but it used to be inexpensive when I lived in the USA and I normally buy it from there and ship it here.

And it now has a Becker - James and I were able to get one installed that matches the year: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2023/02/reinstalling-a-becker-mexico-cassette-in-a-1979-450se/

That engine has quite an interesting carburettor setup. Looks like quite an intricate updraft? I presume they were worried about fuel leaking into the engine block and bending a rod?

Good looking power plant, and the benz owners would be very familiar with the CIS-E fuel distributor!

Great pictures James. At least one car looks familiar! I would have been there, but for having just arrived back from the UK the day before.

I changed the 124 over to amber front corners this morning. I prefer the original look:

Interesting they had the race car there too.

It's interesting that Saab could take the same engine and have it super reliable and long lived. A lot of these British car manufacturers were known for never spending even small amounts of money to improve known issues with the product. I can only imagine Saab did some minor redesigns of the...

A good video on the background of this car and why its significant. Shame he doesn't get in and drive it too, but the video is well worth a watch:

With the amount they make these days somebody has to!!! :LOL:

I was thinking the same thing. I will need to check when the Jeep Wagoneer came out, but I think it was a fair bit after this.

The chassis was a modified Rover P4 saloon type, with a shorter wheelbase. By the time of this Series II type, it also had P5-style torsion-bar front suspension. Here's the torsion-bar suspension, pictured on RR8/S2 as restoration began. This is a styling model for the Series II...

There were clearly delays. In September 1957, the Rover Board learned of difficulties in the Road-Rover’s development that would delay production until May 1958 at the earliest. Then in March 1958, “it was not now expected that a full production specification would be available until January...

another article from James Taylor - if you're on facebook you can follow his page here: https://www.facebook.com/james.t.roverphile Some readers of this page recently showed an interest in the story of the Road-Rover, which is one of the largely forgotten parts of the Rover and Land Rover...

Lot 437 - 1989 300E One of the last ones before the facelift, this car has a good spec (leather on a series 1) and apparently low miles. Could be a very good starter classic or even daily driver. Lot 440 - W126 300SE Nice colour and desirable late spec. Had a cheap respray as they...
