The condition of this car is just unbelievable - judge for yourself. I remember, back in ASustria in the '50s, I had my cold, snotty nose, pressed hard against the showroom window of the Mercedes Benz Dealership - it housed a red 300SL Roadster. I've never forgotten that. When I went back six...

One was sold recently for in excess of $800K. A living legend, and yesterday's masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D4k188PqJQ&feature=related Regards Styria

There is no doubt that this article illustrates the joys of ownership of these Coupes. Judge for yourself. Regards Styria

Hi everyone, looking for advice - I think I know the answer, but would still appreciate confirming advice. Very simply the problem is this: When activating both the console and door switches to open the rear window, the window responds incorrectly by attaining the closing position. Conversely...

Excellent details of the workings of these pumps. Whilst strictly speaking not appropriate with TK philosophy, the details are nevertheless important enough to save in this section for future reference. Regards Styria http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Fuel/Injection#Pump

A classic in every sense of the word. Regards Styria

I can now confirm that the Rolls Royce is a 20/25 of 1931 vintage - is it a Phantom ? Maybe yes, maybe no ? I believe it has the 3.5 litre engine. I also got a chance to get some further p[ics of the Jaguar Mark II. However, it has been fitted with the 4.2 litre engine, with Coombs...

It is when one reads the article and looks at the photos, you begin to understand what heritage and tradition is all about. That is why companies like Mercedes, Bentley, Rolls Royce will always stand at the forefront when you come to discuss classic cars. Although the Japanese are catching up...

It is a Rolls Royce, of course, to have the upholstery polish put on by Parks in due course. BenzBoy would more than likely recognize the model. A bit rough and ready, but there isn't anything that money can't fix. She is a full recent import from the old country, but the feature...

No BenzBoy, by posting after finding the thread, I have basically 'book marked' the thread - I'll have more to say as soon as I get an opportunity. Regards Styria N.B. My apologies for doing things this way - I did not want to start another thread because I knew the matter of suitable oil...

This is the sort of thing that can happen on high mileage cars. The picture shown is the input shaft from Torque Converter to the front of the gearbox on a 6.9. You will note that the shaft on the left is completely berift of splines - in other words, there would have been no drive from...

Excellent expose by K. Bergsma on a 6.9 he bought and subsequent work. http://www.mercedessource.com/node/7382 With thanks to Oversize and the author Kent Bergsma.

It's not one that you often read or hear about.

Hi Lowan74 - that, indeed, is a big battery - rated higher than the ones for the 450 and 6.9. Before talking about my experiences, such as they are, you may have to be careful and make allowance for some possible problems when hooking up the new battery. The boys in Victoria, namely Oversize and...
