Sean, Be careful as any engine running more boost that it’s design allows, can be catastrophic. The main things are. Turbo charger failure. Charge air cooler (intercooler) failure. Destroying bottom end bearings. Cylinder head, and cylinder head gasket damage. Does your car run a charge air...

Not wrong mate. It would be great.

Gents. Not that this is for sale, however a mate of mine picked this up from a barn out west for $500. Just needed a battery, service and tyres. The rest is pretty mint he said. Sorry about the crappy pics. If I get to see it in person, I will get some better ones.

Insulating material, or built up dust/dirt Bryce?

Getting there mate. The paint looks 2m deep, beautiful paint.

Good job mate, Glad you are happy :p

Simply stunning Michel. Amazing image. I’m sure a large version of this will be framed and make it to a wall somewhere?

Very interesting read Brian.

A mate of mine Dennis who used to be the MB club president has a petrol green 560SL. I was lucky enough to have a good look at it at his place a couple of years ago. I’d love to buy that amazing car from him one day.

What a truely beautiful car mate. Stunning in fact.

Great story Bryce of a very special car. Any images of it “pre Skippy”?

I’m one hundred percent with you on this Brian. I was just trying to give reason why they are now coming up with the crap they are now coming up with, as you said after this much experience, they should be at the top of the heap. Not to mention, their “loaner” has really put a bad taste in...

Brian, He was right about safety for the driver to see all four corners of the vehicle. However, this then allowed the driver to be vulnerable as safety started to creep in, while pushing motoring pleasure slightly to the side. Not only do we now cocoon the driver in a safety cell, with numerous...

As I am not familiar with this car Brian has reported on, I guess others maybe as well. Here is a pic and some specs. I see what you mean about the seats Brian. A short arse like me may be ok, but I can see why a tall chap like yourself would have massive issues getting comfortable in this...

That’s a very good and comprehensive report Brian. It just goes to show how looks and kerb appeal trump quality, engineering and the driving experience that Mercedes Benz were renowned for. I’m sorry that getting a nice current model loan car ended up in disappointment. At least your write...

Now that is an awesome story Ant, and with 2 of the most desirable cars ever made. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, Looking forward to that pic Michel. I tell you what, you did a great job with your phone mate. I’m looking forward to comparing :cool:

Totally agree chaps. I’d be mortified if someone looked inside my car that I have prepared to a level where other people could view or judge. During events with the RROC, my wife and I hid everything, that was not to do with the car itself. One can only imagine what some of these people’s...

Don’t get me started Nab! :LOL:

Wow, What a truely amazing image Michel. Simply stunning. I hope there is time lapse video of bumping them all into place? What camera was used please Michel?
