The easiest way to tell when looking at cars for sale online is to look at the instrument cluster as there is an indicator in the speedometer that lights up when the system activates. in the photo above you can see that indicator (square) above the odometer. For when they show the whole...

This SLC on grays looks interesting. Current bid $6000. Its listed as a 1973, but I estimate it to be a 79 or 80 model. Its an import, so probably a high comp motor too. Can't see rust in the usual places although you would need to get underneath to be sure...

One for Styria, a 3 part publicity video on the launch of the 'new' 3 litre car in the late 50s and some interesting coverage of how it was made: 3WAOUpUUO30 iiq73_KUJgM N79kzwNfUIk The videos are quite an interesting view of how cars were made in the late 50s even if you have little...

This is quite a nice example of a manual 3 litre P5. Saloon, not coupe https://www.swva.co.uk/lot-56-rover-p5-3-litre-1965/

This W123 is a time capsule car with less than 20,000km and apparently history to prove this. I love the colour, pity its a 230 carby, not the best W123 model. Not sure why anyone would have fitted a towbar to a 230! Seller is asking $15k which is probably not unreasonable if the miles...

Styria, these are the photos I took for you: IMG_1172 by Bryce Dunn, on Flickr IMG_1171 by Bryce Dunn, on Flickr

I put 5l of petrol in my rover last night and it fired right up after not having run for a few months. It had gotten quite low and I didn't want to damage the fuel pump by running the car with no petrol in the tank. I've been impressed with the 3 liter unit - its smooth and has plenty of...

Was there a link to this car or a picture?

One of the flynn rovers has come up, asking $10,500. Sold for $900 at the auction. Its clear the buyer of that car has spent some good money as the car from memory was quite rough at the auction site and needed a lot of work. I suspect this chap purchased some of the interior lots to make...

this one is in a Jag but could equally be applied to a benz https://imgur.com/a/Kiflf

P5 Manual transmission and overdrive on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182819764442?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Never driven one but you would have to assume there was something wrong with it to be that slow.

The car in question.

This 6.9 has seen better days: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL-1979/SSE-AD-5014139/?Cr=3

Sounds good! I keep meaning to put some more gas in the tank and drive it around the parking lot.

The car in question:

Had I more time you could probably take my car as a donor for repairs to this one.

I was in canberra for family reasons this weekend but found 10 minutes to stop by the german car show on the way somewhere. http://www.classicjalopy.com/2017/09/2017-act-german-car-show/

Looks nice. Sounds like it needs mechanical work though:

Yeah, the size, purple and that horrible font. In the USA you can use a period plate which is a nice option. Has to be the right year for the car. I did this when I lived in Michigan.
