Dear Mr P - you did not read the fine print alongside the first photo!! 118PY was repainted in the early 1970s by the then owner in Oxblood and Black. In due course it will be returned to the original colour scheme. I have original paint chips and original carpet for the correct colours and when...

The 200TC is a lovely cruising car - I toured parts of Tasmania in one early last year and it was surprisingly good - but noisy. The Classic Throttle Shop is not shy when it comes to asking for a high price. Regards, Brian

She has found a 1997 C200 with low miles, good condition, fsh etc. Nice car - but, were they susceptible...

Recently I was advised that one should never use cruise control in wet weather as the loss of drive to one wheel, or both, may lead to a skid as the car does not react as it would if the driver took his foot off the accelorator... Obviously, this is now controlled by ESP but would it apply to...

OK - so now we have had "washing your car" 101 and 102 and 103..... How do you dry your car? I use the dog dryer to blast water out from crevices - http://www.ezycoat.com.au/ - and then move on the a waffle-weave microfibre towel and finish with a barely damp microfibre cloth. Next comes a very...

A friend called this evening seeking help. He started his 420SEL and the timing chain snapped. Compression is down on 3 cylinders and the loca mlechanic told hie to throw away the motor and get a second hand one - that the crankshaft would probably be bent. Hmm - sounds a bit dramatic to me...

A new metal polish - NOT for painted surfaces - is Purple Polish. I used it today on a felt pad wrapped around a cork block to ensure even polishing - removes very light scratches and leaves a brilliant shine. For deeper scratches I used Swissvax metal polish and then finished off with Purple...
