    Fiat 750 Zagato Abarth

    Some of us would be familiar with the names as mentioned, particularly Abarth and Zagato, the Italian coachbuilder. Every so often we have these unusual and welcome visitors, and this particular is certainly one of them. It pays to remember that it is only just recently that an ordinary, albeit...

    6.3 engine in 280SL Pagoda

    Some people, again, are very resourceful and extremely capable. Such as fitting the mighty M100 6.3 engine into the small 280SL Pagoda model. http://www.auto-kromm.de/pagode/album/slides/01-text.html I don't know what the handling would be like, but straight line acceleration would have to be...

    Rebuilding 6.3 Suspension Compressor

    This thread has been copied from the excellent International M100 Board. The reason for copying the article in this section of Topklasse is for "easy finding" at future times when my time comes to rebuild some compressors I have on hand. It is hoped that no one will be offended by this action...

    Heater slides inoperative

    This is a common problem on 116 models - when the sliders become inoperative, it means that either of the two flaps has gone into the 'overcentre' position and become stuck. This invariably means that the foam that's glued to the flaps has disintegrated. It is in fact the foam that prevents...

    Servicing 6.3 Injection Pump

    This is probably one of the most important, and dare I say, troublesome aspects of driving the Chassis 109 - 6.3. The main problem relates to the overfilling of oil from the main body of the pump to the Governor housing. As a result, the petrol mixture is compromised by oil contamination...

    Glove Box Timber Warpage

    Most 116s are afflicted with that problem - sometimes it can even be unsightly. I have endeavoured to adjust this out when fitting replacement dashes, but success has been somewhat limited. We have now devised a process that will straighten this timber fillet. So far, complete success with one...

    For sale - 6.9 gold

    I am looking for a buyer on behalf of one of my ex-customers. The asking price is $6000.00 - reasonably firm. It is an early model - about 1976 - with the 8:8 to 1 high compression engine. The gearbox has a slight leak from the gasket area - mainly from standing around constantly. Engine is in...

    From the photos, it appears to be a very nice looking car. A couple of observations and queries from and to the knowledgeable: http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/buy_and_sell/for_sale/d0b4c4ee-02e3-4e5c-83b5-1902ead0796c 1. Appearance wise, do the seats look like leather ? Recall the car in...
