I finally bought a new(er) car a few weeks ago now. Not perfect & need of a little TLC. Most finishes & surfaces are rather delicateso you have to treat them well. Late 2012 Ford Territory Titanium petrol 2WD. Strangely no GPS fitted but has factory DVD & other bells. So many cup holders &...

Yes it’s a horribly massive plummet from grace!!

Still in situ but most of the front now removed incl hydraulics. So annoying when others have tampered with parts before & rounded hex nuts or bolts cause they’ve not used pipe spanners or been careful enough & cross threaded connections. In saying that, the dry sump hoses are insanely tight &...

Confirmation that the Aussie delivered cars could use 91RON

The brochure as part of the media pack which was available on the day. There were some Polaroids taken but the official pix were later processed, approved by MBA & sent out to various interested parties. I’m not sure how they determined who received the pix or how they were sent. Obviously it...

I’ve always had a great interest in her so it’d be great to pick your brain on another Sydney trip!

Found these hidden in the boot of one of my cars!!

I think Styria mentions ‘Dubbin’ in another thread?? I might also check Horseland re saddle treatments

Here’s the competition

That’s exactly where I bought it! A mates headed there Mon to pick some up!

Actually the total cost was £20.9M which is $36.4M AUD and that was 10 years ago!!

There’s some VERY interesting facts about the W196 race car if you care to look it up. 2.5L I8 built for the 1954 & 1955 F1 seasons just before the horrific crash that saw MB withdraw from racing for 30 years. The only one sold privately 10 years ago went for $29M....

Yes that was an expensive & risky exercise trucking the racecar all the way out to Riddells Creek on Monday 11th September 1978 (the day after the demo race at Sandown).

Thanks for your kind words Styria & Patrick. The best is yet to come! Hopefully very soon I can reveal all the details. Some teaser pix from the official MBA 6.9 media pack from 1978! Yes I’ve managed to borrow one from a safe for just a few days, including very rare extra Polaroids...

After catching up with someone involved yesterday there’s more big news coming in the next week...

She’s on the back burner for the moment since I’ve been focussed on Red Bull & other priorities. But she is my best chance at getting one on the road to keep so I’m rather keen to return to the project. Oh and yes my Avatar needs updating for sure...
