I think the other change is that 6.9s are now worth more than they used to be, and unmodified cars are worth a lot more than modified. So you could end up spending $10k for this change and then loose $5k of the value of your car. A 2.47 diff would be hard to find in LSD, as you would need...

The 500E board has a great UK spec price and options list for the W126. It is after the move to the soft leather interior, so I guess 1989-1991. https://www.500eboard.co/forums/threads/c126-v126-factory-options-price-list.2125/ File also attached here Some of the options are pretty...

Michel, are you interested in building up a fleet of 400SELs? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/254717675249?ul_noapp=true

This MKIII is very nice from the outside although the seat leather is a little tired. On ebay with a buy it now price of $16,900 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/193649504213

The radiator started leaking from the top tank on the SEC, so I have a new one. While I am at it, I have seen random warm air come on with the A/C. Looks like classic monovalve failure. Challenge is that the genuine and Bosch monovalves are pretty much impossible to get and the alternative...

I love a red interior. Obviously a respray from the strange position of the model designation. https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=18230&lid=2374264&pgn=1&pgs=100

It's a good idea to do the chain. Here is a link to an older thread on this job, some of the part numbers may be slightly different for a 500vs a 450 but they are both M117's and you'll need to change all the same parts even if there are minor differences...

https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=18230&lid=2362436&pgn=1&pgs=100 I've always admired these, but I doubt I would fit into the car!

This 380SE looks nice for the money, great colour combination and looks like it has at least some service history: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/randwick/cars-vans-utes/1985-mercedes-380se-w126-v8-rego-warranty-4999-special/1253748374

I wonder if it is a series 1 vs Series 2 thing? Here is my car next to a Series 1 SEC. A bit hard to see because of the angle of the photo, but it does not look like the cut out is there. I suspect the AMG thing is bragging rights at cars and coffee!

Those tips are great, much better than the horrible thing on my SEC.

I am not planning it any time soon, but for my ECE 560, like these exhaust tips. I have a horrible aftermarket one now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Amg-sebring-Style-W126-C126-w124-W210-W201-W202-R129-W140-exhaust-tips/233615467732?hash=item36649124d4:g:fD8AAOSwYE9e4N6A

This 280SE looks quite nice other than the faded paint. As you know I am partial to the W126 in signal red. https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-7766680/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1982-mercedes-benz-280se-automatic-sedan?spr=true One day left at $1200 FIN...

Another interesting video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdFRL6dEMo0 HdFRL6dEMo0 Pierre laments the lack of love for the 114/115. And I think he is right that it is probably the least valued of the classic mercedes models. I do think the coupes are in a different class, as is the...

This 300SE has less than 24 hours to go and with the current bidding at less than $1500 seems like it could be excellent buying: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=17044&lid=2280387&pgn=1&pgs=100 FIN WDB1260242A421031 Model 300 SE Engine...

There was a MBCNSW drive with the Rolls Royce club today. I went along and we made a big W126 line up. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2020/06/mercedes-club-drive-to-peats-ridge/
