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

Cry now, and wipe your tears and nose later. Still shaking head. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JICL5N6059M N.B. Disregard THAT first song - it's pathetic. The second ? Somewhat more palatable.

Car for Sale from 'One owner car guy' - there is no doubt that as far as styling and elegance are concerned, the W126 series is almost beyond reproach. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1icSvtIITm8

The shape is wonderful, and the performance exhilarating - BenzBoy has driven one, so perhaps he can relate to this test. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXr50XM3O38

I guess no longer a Supercar by today's standards, but a Supercar nevertheless. I believe as far as every day driving is concerned, the handling on the limit leaves a lot to be desired, and it can be depressingly hot on a warmish day. Air Conditioning was never an option, nor can it be fitted...

Made in Sweden, by Swedish Engineers, and they have let themselves down badly - they could only achieve 391 kilometers an hour. I think that in every sense this is a true Supercar a la Bugatti Veyron, AMG SLS and others. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nblIoM7zbwI

Probably one of the most expensive Ferraris one would buy today. Any of the 250s fetch a fortune. This video is great because you are really driving with the driver in actual competition in one of the Goodwood Festival vintage races. Hope you can enjoy. Regards Styria...

A Supercar in every sense of the word - unbelieveable styling, an interior that I have not seen being matched by any other car and a V12 engine - for the money, what else would one want to buy ? Regards Styria

If you like American Automobiles, this museum takes some beating. Please enjoy. Regards Styria http://hooniverse.com/2011/08/01/a-still-in-denver-edition-the-cussler-auto-museum-the-american-gallery/

If you have a bit of time to kill, or if you really want to get specifications on a huge number of cars and various models, this site gives you everything. http://www.automobile-catalog.com/model/amg/w-116-amg.html Regards Styria

They are one of my favourite cars - Rovers. In fact, I still own several of them,including a 3 litre 4 speed manual with overdrive, celebrating its 50th birthday. I also have a 1966 Mark III, and I am restoring a 1965 Mark IIC for a friend of mine. Magnificent cars, not a Rolls Royce, but not...

As a rule, I am not all that keen on referring ebay sales to TK unless, of course, the sales relate to 107, 116, now 126 and generally interesting vehicles for whatever reason, and this Sprinter meets that criteria. It is quite impressive in its own right, in very nice condition and it will...

Tim, I have already indicated where his priorities lay nowadays. I cannot give you any other information. Regards Styria

I just stumbled across this thread the other day. In my opinion, it was one of Des' finest threads, with plenty of great pictures to marvel at. Those were the early formative days of TK, and posts also featured Martin 280S in Brazil, and 116 Benz in Queensland. In those days, it was Michel and...
