Not too sure of what to make of this post. Is Geoff talking about a car different to Memnoch, Milan Brown in colour, and I wonder if he has recommenced his efforts in finishing off the car which, I believe, is still in Perth with the Panel Beaters. Maybe if Geoff reads this post (thread), he...

Well, the main consideration is that you got paid for it. BTW, I've not yet seen it figure in the Bash event. Maybe it's languishing somewhere being totally unloved and lonely. It's a bit like a Swiss guy (chief) that purchased my 300SEL with M189 engine and I understand that he was starting...

Geoff, do you have a time frame in mind ? From the pictures I have seen elsewhere, this car of yours seems to have a lot going for it. Especially, as I can recall clearly, you purchased a hell of a lot of new parts probably about four to five years ago. What exactly is next on your agenda ...

Perhaps you can see what I mean by referring to the dash when compared with the Pearl Inlaid offerings by some of the Mercedes models of that era. Nevertheless, the Horch Dash in this most unusual timber pattern also constitutes a work of art, as some of the other Chrome fittings that are...

When I travelled to Europe in 2005 and 2008, I was fortunate in stumbling across C. F. Mirbach, a prestige and Classic Cars dealership located in Bavaria between Munich and Salzburg. It was an unforgettable experience, and that is where I laid eyes on my only Horch I had ever seen, and...

No words needed really. Comparing the '30s Horch with the various Mercedes Cabriolets of the same period, I found that the In-Laid Pearl dash of the Mercedes was a step above the Horch. Regards Styria

BTW, take no notice of old threads on this magnificent Marque - all videos have disappeared, for reasons unknown. Regards Styria

Quite an interesting video giving details of one found in Leipzig, in the old East German. Regards Styria

I was privileged to see one of the Convertibles in Germany in 2005. They are magnificent. Regards Styria

So Sean, what happens after that ? Any clues ? I thought I'd come up with a smart reply seeing that the post had not attracted any replies. It is just one of those days today. Regards Styria

My, oh My, that was ten years ago. Do you ever miss it, Michel ? Regards Styria

Well Mark, all I have ever done to 6.9 engines that I have had an association with are the high compression engine in my Gleaming Beauty, and an Astral Silver 6.9 that was purchased by Chris P. now living in WA. I've not heard from him for some time. I carried out Valve Grind and De-Coke on...

Strange that we should be talking Jensen Interceptors. Recently, the son of the owner of the Gold 6.9 that I am keeping in my workshop, called in with a brand new dash for said 6.9. During a brief conversation he enquired which car the unit was for - "is it for the Jensen" ? "No" I told him...

Michel, I know you stopped fretting a long time ago - don't worry, Gleaming Beauty did not make the cut either. Nevertheless, some beautiful cars that feature in the illustrations. Regards Styria

Mark, time to get the 6.9s going - have you got any candidates likely to fulfil that role ? You know, talking about BMWs and their role as "driving machines" - my understanding is that few cars can match them dynamically, but I think the idea is to keep them for five years max and then...

Hi BHW, what a beautiful little poster. I am jealous. Regards Styria - BTW, you are located in the States, aren't you ?

I have never previously commented on this thread and posts therein. I know exactly what CraigS (sorry we don't hear from him any more) is talking about. I can take his observations a little further. Many years ago I owned a LWB 300SEL, 1966 vintage, with that venerable 300 six cylinder engine...

My friends, I hear and read what you are saying. Certainly no arguments from me. I will just see what action I will take in due course. Regards Styria

Mark, how uncanny is your observation in regards to handling properties with those B.F.s fitted to Gleaming Beauty. I never bothered to check the date of manufacture as there is plenty of good thread on the tyres and they were, as luck would have it, the correct 6.9 size tyres. During the last...

That's been a useful car with many good parts that I have been able to salvage. Engine, G'box, Differential and a host of sundry components. Regards Styria
