It was nice to meet up with fellow topklasse members SEL69L, Michel, CraigS and of course, BenzBoy, now president of the Rolls Royce Owners Club. There were, as per usual, some very desirable cars on display, and my favourite was this Rolls Royce Convertible, with the 'Chinese' twin headlight...

I recently attended the MBCNSW concours d'elegance at Parramatta, and one vehicle, among many others, to catch my eye was the underbonnet section of a 380SL - picture previously posted, but will do so again right now. I had a really critical, and sober look at the quality of this engine bay...

Nothing subtle about driving this CLS 63AMG - it's go from the word go, love the reaction of the passengers. Plus the driver has got to be pretty good. That car sounds like a roaring lion most of the time. IMHO - Awesome...

Rummaging around Motec 6.9s recent 'offerings', I came across this website featuring the car as the title of the thread implies. Why am I showing this on topklasse, you may well ask ? Simply,because it was a car that always appealed to me. It was in the latish '70s that I owned a 1966 lwb 300SEL...

My apologies for the lengthy delay in posting these pictures from this year's Club concours, which was held at Parramatta Park in Sydney, Australia. For some reason, this one attracted some attention. :D 107s were well represented, with some quite magnificent examples on display. The next...

Found this thread on an old, almost disfunctional W108 website listed as a link on the MBCNSW website. I believe that our friend Alabbasi in the US, he is one of our members as well as on the M100 site, may have had a hand in dealings with this 6.9. http://www.w108.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=243...

For years, I have been puzzled by a "creaking noise" that seems to emanate from the Steering Box/Inner Chassis Rail and, quite frankly, I have been at a loss to determine its cause, the source and the exact location. It usually occurs when endeavouring to turn the steering wheel, with engine...

One of my customers is looking for a buyer of a complete set of leather upholstery, i.e. front and rear, plus a good percentage of sundry black interior items, such as armrests, door frames etc. These seat covers were purchased from GAHH in California, are still in their original packing box...

Discovered this German site last night. What I liked about it are of course pictures of the various cars - and let's acknowledge that they are quite beautiful - but I also liked their method of showing members' names and details/photos of their respective cars. In addition, study of the various...

This one is well documented, but still nice to have in our library of road tests. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/archive/mercedes-benz_450sel_6.9-archived_road_test Regards Styria

Thanks to 260Benz for his detective work - it's good to have him on topklasse. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/11q3/golden_brown_four_days_in_a_mercedes-benz_450sel_6.9-feature Enjoy a good read. Regards Styria

This one is in the care of our Anthony - very, very nice car...

At long last, I have some rebuilt units available. It is my understanding that new units are just about no longer available and, if and when they are, the price is substantial. What you see is what you get, and it needs to be on an exchange basis in order to maintain a reasonable supply now...

Absolute guide to understanding how the system works. http://www.auto-solve.com/mech_inj.htm#view Regards Styria

Nice to be able to drool over, but also appreciate ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8o8893gguk&feature=fvwrel Regards Styria

Came across some Invoices, spanning a period of some five months between late February and August, 1994. In other words, just on about seventeen years ago. The mileage was between 136,760 and 143,746 and the car involved was a 1978 - 6.9. I should add that there would not be a great deal of...

Some of you would be aware that Gleaming Beauty, my 6.9, has been my daily driver since purchase sixteen years ago - well, except for the last ten months when she's been in 'hospital' (! :o), and another six months spell probably about ten years ago when she was attired in her new MB 870 Petrol...

This would have to be one of the best and most informative group of photos that I have seen for a long time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/skitmeister/tags/maastricht/ Maastricht, of course, is famous for staging Andre Rieu's fabulous concerts, and the folk at Maastricht have obviously spared...
