What Becker did your car have? Is this 2nd piece from a 2000 or a CD player?

This month's lloyds auctions:

Interesting you mentioend liquid intelligence. I've been thinking of trying this in my Citroen DS, which is a south Australian car originally so has a dirty cooling system. I normally flush it out every couple of years, but now i hear more about liquid intelligence, I may give it a go.

An import 560SEC is a great car to have. I love mine. Classic benz with 300hp, pretty good combo.

You've certainly done well to sort everything out. I guess you kept everything in the shipping containers?

That is hideous. who would pay EUR450,000 for that monstrosity, even if completed.

That sounds good!

At first glance this 300D looks alright, then you spot the rust in the doors and a few other issues. I was finding it hard to belive it only had 135k on the clock until I found the auction listing from 2021 and it all made sense. 12313022178610 https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-21016652/

The P76 was to have coupé (Force 7) and estate variants, but they did not go beyond the prototype stage. Just what the Aussie family needed – a vast bench seat upholstered in vinyl! The best known photographs of the P8 interior show the vandalised surviving prototype and do not do justice...

I think the little fellow was happy to see a car in an actual colour and not monochrome.

I just got back from a 4,344km family road trip in the W124. overall it went pretty well. Driving down to tassie: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2023/12/sydney-to-launceston-road-trip/ Some of the good roads: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2024/01/touring-tasmania-in-a-classic-car/ Passed...

There are rebuilds and there are reabuilds too. A simple reseal (all some rebuilds are) is maybe $3k. Most would replace the clutches too. Bands and torque converter are often extras. I wanted it all done properly as I don't want to have to take that transmission out again.

my mechanic organized it, but the guy who did it has now retired. cost a bit over $5k including having the torque converter overhauled and changing the bands.

If you wanted to adapt an MB transmission, you can get adaptors and a standalone ECU to bolt up the 722.6, which is the good 5 speed. (the 722.5 is the weak five speed). Not sure it's really worth it though. I saw a 450SEL with a manual conversion when In melbourne. Also rebuilt...

my 560SEC has 455nm and a 722.3 trans, so at least the ECE 560s should do that, and even the Aussie 560 is 400nm

they are rather impressive when you see them in a video. faster and quieter than electric.

it's now running and your new daily driver?

A few pics from the drive to Geelong today.
