    Glass Technology

    You may recall I asked about recommendations for someone to polish a very deep scratch out of my diriver's side window of the SSII. Well, the job was done by Glass Technology (google them) who has operators in various areas. I don't know the name of the actual operator as it was arranged by Sam...

    A friend is looking for a W108 280SE or similar to replace hers which was rear-ended and written off by the insurance company. She still has the old 280SE but it needs a new rear end plus other repairs. Regards, Brian

    Recommended car carrier?

    Is anyone here able to recommend a competent car carrier with a single, covered truck to move a car interstate? I do not want a large company that moves many vehicles - just a sole operator who takes care in his work - or in her work as the case may be. Regards, Brian

    W140 s500

    Welcome to Topklasse - the W140 is one of my favourite Benzs. For a pre-purchase check I suggest Autohaus 1 - http://www.autohaus1.com.au/Home.aspx as they tend to specialise in cars of the age you are looking at. Regards, Brian

    Rather nice 280SE

    Shannons currently have a rather nice 280SE for auction. It sat for a long time in their Park & Sell section at $10,000 but is now going to auction without reserve. Only real issue I can see is the passenger side front guard has been repainted and is a slightly different shade of white. The car...

    Rover Speed 20

    The freewheel was an economy feature designed to save petrol. As such, it was not considered necessary at Derby and Crewe. Yes - of course I like to flirt with other attractions. :D No one comapny had the exclusive rights to interesting vehicles. :cool: Regards, Benz-Boy

    Rover Speed 20

    Yes it had the traditional freewheel feature but I did not try it - I offered to buy the R110 from the 2009 ABD and was beaten to it by half an hour!!! The Speed 20 had wonderful features like a trapezoid seating arrangement so that a crank handle can be used to change seat height and rake of...

    Rover Speed 20

    Hardly!! He was trying to drag race us in the Austin 7 - despite the engine rebuild/hot cam/lightened flywheel and oversize jets we simply pulled ahead in silence.....:eek: Regards, Benz-Boy

    Rover Speed 20

    Possibly only Styria will relate to this car - although possibly Des would if he had been there... I went driving today in a 1940 Rover Speed 20 - original car, in original condition and only 2 owners. The last owner has travelled only 1450 miles in the last 10 years and the log books show an...

    Batteries ain't batteries...

    Until this morning I have had an NRMA battery in the Spirit and it was showing signs of failure so I replaced it with a German-made Bosch. The remarkable change is that the motor idles more smoothly and the electrics run better - the fan speed is higher and the windows quicker. The explanation...
