Found this on FB which might be of use to owners...

This car was very nearly my first Benz, however I backed out and decided a 6.9 would be a better option for my Buick project. I wonder if this car survives today?

I loved the machine-turned trim in this SLK when I first saw it and I still love it now, since it is also a feature on my 57 Buick... Pictures taken when I was servicing the car. Sadly it was later written off by a subsequent owner when it lost an argument with a concrete barrier....

Well I took a lot of pix and couldn't post them until now, since I had to download them from my video camera. I couldn't use my phone, since it's full of old pix that I don't have time to copy, or delete; time for a new phone I think (which will have a better camera)... At least the video...

Well that’s a surprise with clear links to Mercedes Dealer Lanes! Who knew?? I’d buy it if I didn’t have so many other projects....

This seems a mystery to many, however it’s really rather easy to determine. Easiest is to find the marking on the wheel following ‘e’ or ‘ET’. However some wheels aren’t marked or it’s no longer readable. This works with or without a tyre fitted. Turn wheel face down on a flat surface, Use...

I will be hosting MBCV attendance at Hanging Rock this year which will be rather special if I’m able to get a car ready in time. I’m also planning a cruise to the Geelong/Colac area around May plus a S Class run in early December. It’ll be a busy year.... Pix to follow after the show.

Looks cool but I know nothing about it!! Pix don’t do it justice (I need a new phone)...

I haven’t used them myself, so I can’t recommend through personal experience, but others on FB have said they’re quite good. $800 for a pair. Perhaps they can even do HPF struts too?? https://www.wwshockabsorbers.com/?fbclid=IwAR1r62h-xhKMEFh4uPsWGRK-MfV3H5cZL-F33gF-Pou3hvtS4yMFyVoaCdw

Powered by a 350hp M100 6.3 too! Sadly no engine pix that I’ve found (yet)!

I’m sure I’ve posted about this amazing car before, but searching revealed nothing! Named after it’s drag coefficient & powered by a M100 6.3 mid Mount with a special intake likely built by AMG/MKB. The engine may even have been sourced from AMGs surplus after the Red Pigs were retired...

Wow! Interesting there’s no mention of engine mods for the W116. Check out the W126 prices!! 😳😮🥴🏆😎

Too far gone to fix, she’s saving at least 3 other cars!!

Here's another mob in the USA. Looks like they've repaired some aux trans pumps too. http://www.doanemotorwerks.com/hydraulics-pneumatics-rebuilt.php

Here’s a few pix from the annual event!

Finally an advertising campaign that caught my attention because it just makes sense in Australia!!! https://mgmotor.com.au/models/mg-hsplusev/

I need to replace my AU FG V8 as she’s sadly past her prime & fulfilled her tour of duty. Requirements: Budget under $20k, Reliable, Not too costly to run or maintain (tyres & fuel), Large enough to tow a 8x5 trailer, Space for tool boxes & car parts, Not too low to the ground for access...

I would’ve sworn I’d posted a thread on these amazing cars before but multiple searches found nothing!! Here’s some recently found period pix of the M117 5,0 twin turbo engine. I’ll add more info to this thread later as there’s lots to include!

Let’s see how this goes.... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/truganina/other-automotive/-oversize-victorian-custom-number-plates/1292920756?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=ios_MyAds&utm_medium=social&utm_source=com.apple.uikit.activity.copytopasteboard

Not Dora 2!! This is the original one.... A project that I’ve decided I don’t have time to complete. I’ve had to be realistic & have decided to sell some of the hoard to make room & fund Slingshot Dynamics etc...
