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...

Tony, the P6 Rover had excellent suspension - particularly, the sliding tube De-Dion rear suspension with the inboard disc brakes. Even on gravelly surfaces, you could just about take off on full throttle and you'd get almost no wheel spin. I must admit, far superior (at least in that regard)...

A very interesting car on a number of fronts. First of all, thanks to Motec 6.9 for finding it in the first place. As Benz Boy says, the price is substantial with some unusual features, but also some curious, shall we say, untruths at worst, or talking up at best. Heated rear window, those front...

Gleaming Beauty in all her glory - well, sort of. ..........is this a tool kit ? Well yes, it is, but it isn't ! .....and that's my reasoning - only old Rolls Royces (very old) and some Jaguar Mark V might have more desirable .. Regards Styria That's the one that graces the...

MoreCocours pics. - this is now my third attempt. The previous two were frozen by the PC. So, no more comments, just pics........... ...rear bucket seats - 220SE Convertible - how very, very nice and rare.. CraigS and Brendon, esteemed topklasse 'big shots' - in earnest...

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...

Ah, the vagaries of Photobucket. There is not a lot that remains the private property of the uploader - as witness the following picture.... Anyway, it's not a real worry unless, of course, you take pics that shouldn't be seen by anyone else. That's a nice looking car you've got there - I...

Hi Tarek, this should work okay. It relates to a post on the Amerang Museum in the southern part of Germany - Bavaria to be precise. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=943 That's just about the most magnificent collection of Adenauers I have seen in the one spot. Regards Styria

Hi Mark, you're pretty right about the power output of the 500/560s when compared with the 6.9. I am fairly certain that the two smaller engined engines will out accelerate the 6.9 (not by much), but of course they have a lighter body - at least, that's what I believe. I have only ever driven...

Hi Testie, as we have had no update, I am not certain if this post is still of relevance. I did have the opportunity the other day to have a closer look at the heating/cooling system on a 450SLC. Whilst I cannot diagnose your problem, I can confirm that: 1. The dash top can be removed without...

HI Tarek, as indicated in the other thread on the Adenauer 300, we are talking different periods. I certainly agree with you that Rover's story is not one of success and, in realty, it was the Rover SD1 that commenced the demise of Rover, and any collaborations with Honda and BMW were nothing...

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...

Hi Testie, I would be very interested as to how you are getting on with solving your problem. Unfortunately, I am not much help in this instance as I have never had to deal with this problem on a 107. I did have a chat to someone very, or quite, knowledgeable with this work and he indicated that...

Nice, clean looking, tidy car - I wonder in what area of Siberia sergeich77 is located ? Regards Styria

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...

Hi Mark, this link should take you to the colour chart section in our library-it's been there since 17th April, 2010. www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2220 Regards Styria
