Search this site & you may find what you need.... I haven’t tried them yet but a mate recommended them. https://www.ozwidetools.com.au/

I saw this one back in 2002 (ish) at a car dealer showroom at 1 Neerim Grove, Hughesdale, VIC. I didn’t have the money to buy it (and a few alarm bells were ringing), so I had to keep looking. From memory it was around $10k...

Give these guys a try and they can make cams to suit your requirements. A mate has used them for his hillclimb 450SE. https://tighecams.com.au/

Erhard Melcher was one of the founding members of A(M)G and the engineering brains behind the brand, who then went out on his own way back in 1970. Melcher founded MKB which then conducted much of the R&D for AMG and many other tuners. They actually developed the Hammer (DOHC 4V) M117 and...

Worthy of some investigation: https://www.worlduph.com/mercedes_benz/w126/sedan/

Might be worth a look.... https://leatherworldtech.com/mercedes-leather-dye-color-chart/

Wow this owner obviously had some serious expendable income!!! 4V & S2 HPF!

If you had serious coin back in the day you could completely restyle your new SEC!! I love the dash; not so much the exterior! And gull wings means no sunroof...

Great reading even though it’s not entirely accurate! They should’ve consulted me before going to print!! ;):D:rolleyes:

According to this catalog/brochure the badge was not available without 2 or more external pieces. Not a guarantee of authenticity, but it certainly helps to know...

Discontinued pretty much everywhere, but if you’d like to look even more original then this is the place to go: https://www.kingswoodcountry.com.au/buy/car-rego-registration-label-decal-sticker-1953-198/HQR20

Anyone who’s after an old school classic look might be interested in this company in South Australia. I haven’t used them myself, but they might be worth a try for that custom style: http://www.autoshades.com.au/

With the loss of local manufacturing, 2 recent withdrawals and now the loss of the Adelaide circuit it seems the series is on its last legs. Unless they change the format significantly to attract more teams & manufacturers, it’ll be gone by June 2021. They lost me when Benz & Nissan pulled out TBH.

Thanks to Geoff for finding this unusual one-of-a-kind race car. Seems like it started life as a CanAm car which morphed into a wanna be LeMans prototype. Reported to have 600hp making it the most powerful NA M117! AMG obviously helped develop it at one stage judging by their logo on the high...

I found the engine first and then tracked down these very rare cars. Few would know they ever existed since there was only 2 cars and they only competed twice before being mothballed. Apparently at least one still exists and I’ve love to take a closer look at them! Very few photos exist on the...

Lots of people have criticised Benzes built from 1991-2010ish but BMW & Audi aren’t a lot better apparently. I know of a 2010 BMW X6 with a blown turbo & needing a timing chain. Apparently the owner can’t get rid of it for even $5K! That’s a lot of depreciation & headaches....

Looks like someone’s making new replacement panels. Not sure what they’re like but it’s a good sign for the future... https://www.millsupply.com/auto-body-rust-repair-panels/mercedes/w116-chassis/1979/

Well turns out I've been asked by MBCV to organize club attendance at the Hanging Rock car show!!! It'll be the first time the club has officially attended the show, which explains why there's been very few Benzes there in the past. Despite the fact the day is not only Valentine's Day but it...

I love this car! Geoff you might like the sound system.... The owners very secretive about what’s going on under the hood! https://www.facebook.com/TunerPerformanceWorldwide/videos/890644591318565/?vh=e&extid=l3Xh4aZdFSrpNihj&d=n

Saw it the other day & missed a chance to take some pix. Well you can run but you can’t hide!! Lol! What I really like is the blacked out look. Not so sure about the side skirts....
