With compliments (so to speak) from the Mercedes Heritage Classic Centre comes this absolutely magnificent hand built 300 Coupe. The styling - elegant and totally exquisite. Very much typical of Pininfarina styling of that period. Look at some Ferraris etc. etc. and even a "lowly" Rover 3 litre...

.....and I mean serious - I just love those huge trucks battling water and mud and some impossible situations. You be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPDwykpH9K8 Regards Styria

Straight from the pages of Mercedes Benz Heritage in the States - some delightful Mercedes Benz exhibits. That 2-door Ponton Coupe - delectable. I could have bought one a few years ago (say 15) for $25K. - that was on the day when Rene Rivkin's 600 sold for $40K. A steal at that price, and it...

I have seen them in real life - in fact, I suspect that the blue/white car took part in 2005 Mercedes Classic Days in Salzburg. You had to see those cars to be just about blown away by their presence and beauty. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjNxJTCH6jU

The ultimate Endurance Racer of the early '70s. Some famous battles with Ferraris of that period. An absolute classic today, fetching huge money. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvNX9Z6zueM

I just think we need to keep this type of video for future reference. It is quite an eye opener. Hope you guys find it of interest. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjigOY5FEAM&feature=related

All of 16 cylinders, with an awesome sound. It would seem that it is air cooled, and is fitted with a Supercharger. The streamlined version exceeded 400 kilometers on the Autobahn. I know the dialogue is in German, but one could still appreciate what this machine is all about - a monstrosity...

That's when the men are playing, and boys like me look on in wonderment. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=5NS11fNQisI

Text to follow. Lost previous uncompleted post. In the meantime, this is the museum building - a far cry from the Stuttgart creation. Many of the URL's I have had to delete. Each referral finished up with "This page can't be displayed." In the meantime, I will leave the thread open to fill...

A technical and electronic tour de force - what will it be like to service and maintain in future years ? I guess you'd keep it for four years, and then trade up or in - I just wonder how the concessionaires would feel taking a three year old S-Class as a trade-in ? It'd be an interesting...

Okay, I need some volunteers that possess of small change to collect these cars for restoration and as a profit making exercise. Just kidding, but don't you feel like a little kid that wishes to have an unlimited supply of money ! Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL2gm3OmZ2U...

It is located in California, and if ever you were looking at solid gold and brilliant diamonds values, go no further than this museum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJf4VlIugO8 I must admit that not all cars are to my taste, but as far as Art Deco cars are concerned, you're not likely to find...

PART1 - Removing and replacing the water pump from a 6.9 engine is straight forward enough, but there are a number of tricks, or call them idiosyncracies, that need to be taken care of. Strictly speaking, it is not necessary to remove the radiator core, but it certainly helps in gaining access...

Perhaps some of you may recall my admiration for the 300SL of that vintage - 1952, rightly famous for some of their Sports Car Racing achievements, but of course they were also the forerunners of the 300 Gullwing Coupe. The gallery of pictures hereunder simply pay homage to what was, and is, a...

Very, very attractive, looks like a mixture between a Jaguar and something else (Forgotten the name !), albeit priced at about $95K. in this country. There is just one item I completely dislike - the two cupholders on the gearbox tunnel. They might be what the manufacturer perceived the public...

Not only do I think it is cute, but it also reeks of tradition and practicality. Surely the forerunner of today's SUVs - in fact, it appears to be much more versatile. I am sure that BenzBoy's Spitzes would feel right at home...

There is no doubt about the inherent excellent styling of the 126, especially with some nice modifications. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmUzoSVsWtg Regards Styria

I think it is fair to say that to some of us there is no better sound than a healthy exhaust note. As I have previously intimated, the exhaust note on Gleaming Beauty is toxic, in a nice, re-assuring and satisfying way. If on the other, however, you want a roaring lion crawling out from your...

If you've never been sure which of the two would be preferable, and I am talking about German versus British as far as Interior Furnishings are concerned, this excellent video should once and for all clarify which of the two take preference. On the mechanical front, it would appear that the...

A nice video showing all features of what is essentially quite a rare version of the W116 series - I believe there were fewer 280SELs than 6.9s produced. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=kVCDs5EXeew&NR=1
