I've been in Europe for the last week or so for work, and managed to have Saturday afternoon and Sunday free. I rented a car to go and see two motor museums. On saturday the beaulieu museum near the new forest and then the british motor museum in warwick. I will upload some photos in due...

TyQXBeYwFUc Some of you might be familar with Doug DeMuro, who does a weekly review of an interesting car on youtube. He can be quite a polarizing figure, but I generally find his reviews quite interesting. He recently did a W126, and while he gets a few things wrong, its quite a good take...

I would have thought that 2.7 would be quite a low ratio for the power of the motor. Might not be much fun as you would probably need to disengage overdrive for the smallest of hills. You could probably get away with something like 3.3, but 2.7 seems very low. I'll be interested in...

Period road test (1963 - Autocar) of the P5 Coupe: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/triggerscarstuff/sets/72157641657245864/

Special car alert! Apparently 'George Daimler' signed off on a special run of 500SLs as opposed to the 380, or presumably the normal 500SL. Given this one has railway sleeper bumpers its probably a USA 380SL with a 500 badge glued to it. Not only that but there is a lot wrong with it...

Looking at a few different tyres for the S211. Anyone have any experience with: - Michelin Primacy 3ST - Pirelli p1 - Bridgestone T001 - Continental Ultra contact 6 - Hankook Ventis 452 I am currently leaning towards the michelins. Best price I have found so far is $199 per tyre at...

New year monstrosity anyone? https://skagit.craigslist.org/cto/d/unique/6443072431.html only asking $500USD, but that is $500 too much.

Good article on the development of the P5. http://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-p5-review/the-cars-rover-p5/

Nice write up Bill. I can also note that similar modifications are required for a W126 fan, but the W107 fan is the same as long as you get the one for cars without climate control.

Here is a video of a rather nice P5 mkIII. This car is an automatic, but is in very nice condition: yFCLu_H_HRM

A few more pictures: The 1963 Mk IIa While all three cars are excellent this one (above) was my favourite. The 1965 Mk II C that belongs to Styria’s customer And the 1966 MkIII Compare to my car that will be a parts donor. It’s a 1965 Mk IIc Finally here is Styria’s P6 3500S...

I spotted this outside a panel beaters in the northern beaches. Not sure if it’s real but it is LHD and of the right era.

My rover is now with its new owner after a fair uneventful drive over. It joins a stable of 5 other rovers. I wonder if you can guess where?

Picked up a copy of this magazine yesterday. nice overview over the 3 models. Unfortunately not much on the 3 liter model, most focus is on the V8. As you may remember, I own a very rough P5 Coupe. Its been an interesting introduction to the model. My car is too rough for me to do...

This week's car is the rare 500SLC. These have really jumped in value the last 3 years. At this price it will probably get exported to europe. This particular car is pretty much exactly the spec I would want on one. the later 4 speed transmission, no problematic chrysler sourced...

This weeks car is chosen for its simply hideous interior. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mooroolbark/cars-vans-utes/mercedes-benz-swap-trade-1979-450slc-v8-pillar-less-coupe-2-door/1143737263

This weeks car, a 280SE 3.5 W108 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-280SE-V8-Factory-Air-Power-Steering-4000-just-spent-on-MERC/173016820968 Looks like a decent car. Price is not cheap, but probably not out of the range of one of these cars. Car is clearly not perfect but looks like a...

Some of you might remember I bought an S211 E350 about 15 months ago. At the time, the car needed rego and the previous owner had to put two new front tyres on to pass. He put on the 'bob jane all rounder' and I can say after less than 10,000km, they are pretty much bald now. Tyre...
