There is a lot to be said for owner a signal red short wheelbase W126 as your daily driver. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/north-parramatta/cars-vans-utes/mercedes-benz-380se/1220235419

Thanks Helmet, sorry I had not seen your post. Are you referring to the european spec cars? I can't find a proper diagram for them, but from what I can tell the only function for vac retard on them is A/C related. On the aussie one, the manual seems to refer to B as the retard, unless I am...

I think Styria’s ears are burning!!! :D I do like the backbencher comment. Brings to mind a Tory backbencher of the 60s with his bowler hat and moustache. The fictitious Jim Hacker MP had to live with an Austin Princess!

The ultimate in 80s bling, the Trasco 1000SEL. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273894398841 Despite many assuming it had a 10l engine, the 1000SEL was mechanically a 500SEL, but I think the name came from it being twice as good or something like that. THis one looks like it was dragged out of...

I don't think there were many LWB W126's with a 5 speed manual made: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-mercedes-benz-300sel/

Good article on the Jaguar XJ. I've always fancied a S1 Saloon or a S2 Coupe. https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/why-jaguar-xj-worlds-best-saloon-car

These are a classy car and can be picked up for good money: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/382989768629

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333221970815 Here is a desirable series 1 280E. Much nicer than the more common series 2 cars you see.

This SEC is the more desirable Series 2, but most people will assume its a series 1 as we didn't get the series 2 until 1986, whereas in Europe it was available late 1985. It is in the very popular 199 Blue/Black, and it has nice AMG wheels. I don't like the smoked tail lenses but they are...

This is a seriously nice 280CE: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/323817599054

This Daimler 250 v8 is a way of getting the MK2 experience for a fraction of the cost: https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-10037690/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1968-daimler-250-automatic-sedan

That is a great looking MK2. Also nice to see one that has not been turned into a coombs replica.

Somebody needs to buy this to prevent it from being slammed and bagged. Looks like a lovely original one. https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0001-10037689/motor-vehiclesmotor-cycles/1969-mercedes-benz-230-w114-rwd-automatic-4-speed-sedan

Good luck with the car, seems like the seller isn't in a big rush to sell. As this is the 500th post of this thread, here is a rather nice looking 500SE: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/dubbo/cars-vans-utes/1984-500se-mercedes-benz-v8/1216946452

There is a company in the USA who is doing interesting Dyno testing on a M117 560. https://www.facebook.com/Carobuengineering/ This is an average mileage USA spec engine (same as AU). The first thing they noticed was that they needed to recondition the heads as the valve guides were worn...

Question for Brian, why is this not valued any more than a Regular Bentley Mark VI? I know the Mark VI is not the most desirable Bentley, but my assumption would be a coachbuilt model from a reputable coachbuilder would have been worth more. This body looks much nicer than the normal MK VI...
