Sunday 9th September 2018. Meeting at Jolly Miller, Sunbury 8am. All models welcome!!

What size is this sucker (46mm?) & was there a special tool to remove it with the tank in the car??

Most of my old contacts for parts and services have moved on or closed down. Time for an update for all your hydropneumatic HPF / HPFE needs and other easier to find W116 and W126 parts. Mention my name & hopefully they’ll look after you.

So finally the real work starts.... My target ‘finish’ date is 9th September.

Was a W116 of course!! Motor Manual Christmas 1978....

Spied in Officer South of Melbourne....

Going by the reviews of the seller the ad could be bogus (I hope not): https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202196351856

Seems like a good deal to me.... However the freight might be a hurdle since they’re now classified as dangerous goods. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F361539818324

Seems like interest in the W116 is climbing, particularly if the car is in half decent condition...

I was reading the paper yesterday & found this interesting article. I did some digging and it just got more interesting! Apparently Ron was nearly killed and if he’d been in a lesser car maybe he wouldn’t be with us today. It didn’t end well for the car though... Only question is exactly what...

I haven’t read anything yet but it looks like a cracker edition!

W126 560SEL 300hp M117.... PS I didn't take the pix (they're not up to my standards)!

I happen to attend the MBCV Concours Judging and Vehicle Prep day last Saturday (17/03/2018) and I'm glad I made the effort. Not only did I get to catch up with a mate that I haven't seen in ages, but I also got to see some great cars, get an insight into the judging and how the elite detail...

Obviously she's been there a while & I hope the owner realizes very soon that the one thing a W116 hates is the weather!!! Seems like reasonably priced secure undercover storage space is very hard to find.... Looked rather nice inside too (for now).

The long weekend is off to a flying start!!!
