The wheels are now mounted on the car. I also took time to try and clean out the wheel arches before mounting them. I'm glad I did. The front lug nuts were not all that tight, and one was even missing. I think that was from when the brake hoses were changed (not by me). I'm really...

For Sale: Set of four 16x7.5 ET23 replica 8 hole wheels to suit the W126 or similar models. Come with near new 225/55ZR16 99W tyres, less than 3 years old with only 7,000km on them. No curbing or gutter rash. I had them on a W126 560SEC but these rims would likely fit other Mercedes that use...

Yes, has BT, USB and Phone - not sure about car play though.

This product has been announced and should be available in 2022. I would imagine the local distributor, classic auto sound will carry it. Photos for those who don't use facebook: Note they allow the colour of the illumination to be changed, which would need to be amber to fit in with the...

Yes, quite the fire and explosion from that disaster.

Which car is this on? Can you do custom rings? I've heard this is not as expensive as some factory rings.

Yeah I really should get a pressure washer.

Quite a bit of progress on the 107 of the last couple of days: I just had the subframe mounts done, they were so bad there was metal grinding on metal. Never done in my ownership. I used the genuine ones even though they are expensive as I hear the Febi ones flatten after a couple of years...

Could be a good project. It was a shame we never got the big engine SWB 126 models. I would have a 560SE instead of an SEL if they had made that model in RHD and sold it here.

Yes, that looks pretty good!

There is a monthly event held at Centennial Park. I've been meaning to go for ages, but finally got around to it today: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/10/centennial-park-cars-and-coffee-october-2021/ Quite a good event and I would go back.

Walk around video of a 1964 MKII Saloon with manual overdrive. Not a show car but a nice original classic:

This w126 280SE looks nice with not long left on the auction: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=27048&lid=3197812&pgn=2&pgs=100

Ignition was a bigger issue then than it is now. Jaguar struggled with ignition on their high revving v12 engine. A v12 at 6500rpm is a lot of ignition pules per second!

There was a 450SE with similar wheels at our MBCNSW night drive last night. Looked good!
