I think you're right. the 5mm difference also exists on the Gen 1 cars, and on the LWB:

Looks like I was wrong about the 560SE, its the same as the 500. So the 500 and 560SE have the shorter wheelbase, but the 560 also has a higher ride hight. 260/300/420 have the normal wheelbase but 500 and 560 have the 5mm shorter one. I'll have to get out the brochure collection to...

Does anyone know what the correct battery size is for a w111? Mine recently went kaput and i needed to try a few from battery world to get one that fits. In the end the one I got is a bit too small and i had to pack the hold down with washers. Previously there was an older battery with...

This red 250CE seems to come up for sale every 2 years or so for at least the last 10 years. Its the bright red one with the red striped seats so its the same car. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201858396853?ul_noapp=true Looks like a real hack job, so I can only guess people buy it and then...

Looks great! I'm curious, there look like there are two switches, one on each side of the center console. What are they for?

A brace of SECs I used to own. the nice 560SEC and the winter car / rolling parts car that went with it.

at least on the Mercedes you need to be careful you don't seal the little openings in the swirl bowl with POR-15. A few people have found this out the hard way. O ther cars have a simpler system and the POR-15 works well on those tanks. For example, by Jag has a 'sump' that screws into...

Was talking to Syria today and he has been trying to get his gold 450SE driving again and was having a problem where it would start and run very poorly. Thinking about this I was wondering if it might be a similar problem as one I had on my old 250SE Coupe. When I bought the car, it would...

As it was in Melbourne, I did not go and see the lots myself, by my thoughts: Lot 9: Jaguar XJ6 Series 1: The pick of the XJ's in my view. This looked like an honest enough car and probably good buying for somebody...
