A sign of things to come for 2016-2017 as evidenced by latest S Class Sedan - note diamond pattern of upholstery among other things. Regards Styria https://www.windingroad.com/photos/galleries/2013-mercedes-benz-sl65-amg/

I need to explain that in the sixties I was not a motoring afficionado - I was restricted to my first car purchase under the Hire Purchase arrangements available in those days - in my case, Custom Credit Corporation, and a 1956 Rover 90 I bought at auction at half price of a new Holden -...

There is a significant asking price on this car - to all intents and purposes, and unless one looks very closely at pictures other than the ones that show virtual perfection, it is impossible to fault this car. However, and I mean however, take a look at one of the original seats, and you'll...

Yes, you're reading correctly - the Dachstein mountain is the highest in Styria which is the province where I came from in much earlier days. Its height ? Three meters short of 3000. Why am I writing about this - well, first of all, quite a number of months ago I spotted Ralf Schuermann and...

This is a bit of an experiment for me, and if you don't like the song, I ask for your forgiveness in advance. The singer is Andrea Berg - a huge star in Germany and she had been around for many years. Please try it ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qbW5Kx2RE4 Regards Styria

Every so often you find an organization that charges absolutely over the top premiums for their spare parts. This is one of those - the asking price for some items is just beyond belief. You be the judge ! http://www.ebay.ie/sch/porforauto/m.html?item=172331080728&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562...

Charles Ironside is a well known and probably Classic Car Dealer in the UK. This particular car appears to lack nothing - new upholstery, new paint and everything else correct, hence the asking price may well be justified. You have to ask yourself why such a low mileage example should have...

It said Autohaus Naples and immediately I thought of our friend Helmet. Anyway, this is Florida,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5adfTLQfOM but the car is in beautiful condition. Regards Styria

Sorry to be a bit slow to respond. I have three Rover Coupes that I am presently restoring, and the last time I had done any serious work on the three cars was probably about twelve to fourteen years ago. The work at the time included: Rebuilding of engine, gearbox and differential...

I found this particular car for sale at about 12K.Euros. I really like some of the unusual features interior wise, but the main reason for posting is to draw the attention of SEL69L to this particular car and its features. It's very, very smart. SEL69L is of course the owner of a 1998 (?)...

It's not before time that it has been decided to include articles, news, announcements etc. etc. in the pages of TK, covering the Ch. 126 models. As Michel said, their understated elegance speaks for itself, and it is certainly a worthwhile inclusion. It is hoped that a gradual build up of the...

I don't think one could go very much past the kaleidoscope of these photos - nostalgia at its very best. Regards Styria https://www.google.com.au/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_sitesearch=topklasse.org&gws_rd=cr&ei=3UJ3WPTSJMHB0gTK7b7IBA#gws_rd=cr&imgrc=ideiPpZw7HBQ6M%3A

Nice, straight, well kept car in the Southern State. Just a couple of observations. Firstly, one would think that the owner could have cleaned the carpets. Secondly, the Paint Colour appears to be Petrol MB877 - a rarity on a Ch. 116 car as it really did not come into its own until the advent of...

Germany appears to be a better market, but nevertheless.... https://www.classic-trader.com/au/cars/listing/mercedes-benz/s-class/450-se/1979/76534 Others: 6.9 239,634 kms. $69,000 Car Sales 6.9 172,600 22,000 Car Sales 450...

I originally purchased my 450SE probably 12 years ago, primarily for the purpose of fitting its interior to another 450SE that lives (lived) in the Snowy Mountains. Once the interior had been removed, I was going to part out the car. However, it did not take long to realize that I had a really...

Baden Baden is a small city in Germany and very much at the forefront of perceived affluence and cultural achievements and events. I was curious to see the types and quality of classic and vintage vehicles that would be on display. I was not disappointed. The video goes for some little time...

Known as the Rover 105R, it was only manufactured for one year - 1958. Don't ask me why, but I had always stayed clear of that model. Maybe in my younger days, I preferred a manual transmission car, but the perceived complexity of the transmission seemed to cast a shadow on this model. Those...

Sounds familiar ? Especially when applied to older cars going back to the fifties, sixties and perhaps even seventies, or when perhaps referring to the venerable M100 engine with its complex injection system. Of course, I understand that some owners and members may disagree and, of course if...

Many times I have mentioned the Lagonda Rapide, basically a four door version of the Aston Martin DB4. Sure enough, the article makes it quite clear that there was more to creating this Saloon merely by extending the wheelbase and adding two doors. I wanted to feature this write up in TK...

I hope this link is going to work. http://roesenclassics.de/M120/W116-V12-600-SE-5543.jpg I am a little biassed, but Petrol (MB877) has got to be one of the finest 116 colours. The other notable feature has got to be those wheels. Can anyone identify them ? BTW, looking up that website shows...
