    6.9 advertised as 450SEL?

    I came across this eBay advert for a 450SEL, however, the VIN number seems to be a 6.9 -- and a very late production model. Can you guys confirm my suspicions? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL_W0QQitemZ220514464129QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item3357afb181

    Idle on a 6.9

    I just decided to drive the 690SEL home tonight from work (it is usually garaged in the office complex) and noticed that the idle in neutral was over 1000 rpms. Is that normal (the car was relatively warm)? What should the idle be on cold and on warm in Neutral and in Drive?

    Wheel colours

    We all have different tastes and we don't always agree with others and that's what makes this world such a wonderful place to live in. Here is a new interpretation of the Bundts, as I see it on the 690SEL. I'd like your opinions. I do apologise for the low resolution pictures
