A really beautiful looking car Bryce. Thankfully, she will be driven again soon.

Some seriously nice cars for sure Styria.

Of course it is of interest Brian. It’s your car, and that is what makes it interesting. That is amazing economy considering it’s still very low k.

Fully agree Bryce.

I completely understand cheap insurance Styria. Your cars give you the reliability and service due to your diligent work in keeping your oil fresh. Question. When the Jazz is driven, how far/long is it usually driven for? If it does not get up to a full,operating temp, for a good period of...

Ohhhhhh boy. That sounds like when I start training people ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Then you should do nothing to the E350 Brian. It will be good for many years. Any information on the Estate?

Brian, Please check with Mercedes Benz as to what has actually been done to your paint work at the factory, (if any) The gold S430 I had, had factory paint protection and it was amazing. I’d hate to do anything to that factory finish that may effect its longevity.

All you mention Is spot on Styria. Modern oil, modern lead free fuels, super hot, very lean & efficient combustion (no unburnt fuel or correctly called soot particulates exiting the combustion chamber) combined with modern engine design all render build up obsolete. I’ve seen modern engines...

I’m with you Styria. It’s the little things and fine detail that make all the difference.

Great pics Styria. I just love the shape of the W116. However, as mentioned previously, I’m a 116 with hub caps guy. Just the soft spot I have from my early days as an apprentice.

Great post and read.

Very interesting read Styria. With today’s modern oils and fuels, a “valve grind & de coke” is a thing of the past thankfully.

Thanks Michel. I really appreciate that. It’s in WA, unfortunately I won’t be traveling there anytime soon with new Covid dramas :cry:

:eek: You could never forget it could you. A wrap is a good idea. Was it just me Ant, or is it pretty ordinary? Maybe one of us might really like this.

I just can’t believe someone would consciously do this to a car, stand back and think “shit that looks unreal” WTF was this bloke thinking? I’m guessing this is why it is priced so low. I’ve had quotes between $5k - $8k to get this crap off this stunningly beautiful car...

Another big job, Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one.

Big job mate. Looks like you are pretty organised though.

Wow. An old pic in an old sticky photo album. Great memories

Very cool mate. Can’t wait to see them on the car.

Sean, A charge air cooler is the correct term for what we most know the item as an “intercooler” This device is like a big radiator (air to air) where in the first instance the compressed hot air direct from the turbo charger impeller (turbine is the hot part of the turbocharger that is driven...
