The article says: "Throughout the 1930s Bentley Motors, then owned by Rolls-Royce, was producing fast, refined and well-built Grand Tourers from its Derby factory. While many customers sent their chassis to traditional coachbuilders such as Vanden Plas, H.J. Mulliner or Park Ward for elegant...

Dear Styria, Perhaps a mis-reading? The current factory is at Crewe. Not that it matters; it is a stunning car. Regards, Brian

Rolls Bentley? A new model? Sorry Styria, there are 4 different Bentley phases: 1. A W.O. Bentley made by the great man himself. This is the original and most valuable of any Bentley. A number exist in Australia. 2. A Derby Bentley made by Rolls-Royce after the Great Depression of 1930 send W.O...

Excellent material Styria. Much appreciated. Regards, Brian

My neighbour has a 380SL in immaculate condition and has been buying parts from - http://www.ecklersmbzparts.com/ He says parts always come within 7 days and packed correctly. This site may be of use to someone here. Regards, Brian

For the 450SE - NGK or Bosch plugs? I'm currently using Bosch and will replace them and re-time the engine this weekend. It's just that I hear people say they get a better idle from NGK. Is this true? (Styria, these are for the car - not the bike....OK? ;)) Regards, Brian

OK - my Michelins are now 7 years old with little wear - but obvioulsy due for replacement due to safety. I have a choice of Maxxis, Khumo or Hankook. :eek: These tyres are not H rated so pose some insurance questions. I can get Michelin XWS for $715 each or Vredestein at $419 each... Any...

I went today to my usual after-market supplier of Benz parts but found the rubber inserts are NLA. I tried Repco and ran; all I could get was bright green or pink. Alas, back to Mercedes-Benz who keep them in stock and will ship them over night from Melbourne. The price for the rubber inserts is...

Wanted to buy... 2 driver's side base adjustment handles...you know, the plastic triangular ones... Regards, Brian

I believe this could be Michel in disguise - testing his new purchase. Note the military support for secrecy... Regards, Brian

Did you see the one at All British Day - light metallic lime green? It looked superb. I know the colour sounds a little strange but it was truly effective and emphasised the long low lines that Rover first drew with their experimental turbine car. Regards, Brian

Tim - your new car gets a mention on p. 8 of "Star Torque". Well done! Regards, Brian

Congrats Styria on an excellent article on you 6.9 in the current edition of the MBCNSW magazine. Well done. Regards, Brian

Hmmm - I thought you would deal with that quite adequately without any help from me! Regards, Brian

There is some nice reading there. A Flaminia for 4000 pounds would now seem a bargain. And of course the very smooth Gamma - http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/lancia-gamma-1984-11844967?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=1&eapi=2&__N=1246 1247 1252 1282 4294964705...

I need to look at replacing the tyres on the 450SE. Tread life is about 60% left but age is catching up with the Michelins and I don't want them to fail due to age. Suggestions? Mind you, the car is fantastic but gets so little use I probably should sell it....:mad: Regards, Brian
