Hi C107, how do you find Shannons to deal with ? How critical are they in their assessment of vehicles to be auctioned off ? Just very curious in your thoughts and assessment of the process. Regards Styria

Mark, again great photos. Your detective work is amazing. BTW Patrick, please don't hurt BenzBoy. Life is tough enough as it is.:LOL: Regards Styria

I am probably compromising this thread if I started to talk about Motor Bikes. Seeing that there is no further news for the time being on those swish looking pistons (Mark/Oversize), I/ll throw in a couple of bike names - and I might even be able to dig up some photos and perhaps the odd story...

Well Mark, enough praise has been expressed already by others on TK, and deservedly so. Me ? Would you know, I have never seen this thread previously ! Maybe advanced wisdom has gotten the better of me, but allow me to make some comment now. Your contributions are simply exemplary. I pride...

I really couldn't walk away from the Imperial Coupe. What a splendid car - no - what a work of Art essentially. The other car to really appeal to my tastes is the Lancia Flavia. I had the privilege to drive an example with the five speed Manual, and it was uncanningly quiet and effortless in...

Well, I did the driving for him. I very much remember driving a Dolomite Sprint some about 50 (?) years ago. It was a beautiful handling car around my favourite test track - namely the Comenarra Parkway, all the way from Ryde Road (the old Ringroad 3) at West Pymble up to Fox Valley Road at...

Mark, any further news on Dora ? It's been close enough to twelve months and I am just wondering about the status quo on the car. BTW, are your Avatar listings up to date ? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards Styria

Patrick, yes. Three cars and no bike. It was an accident damaged Suzuki GS750 - a very desirable bike in those days. Many years later I purchased a Suzuki 850 shaft drive, but that's another story. If you would want me to elaborate I will do so. Always something to tell that may be of interest...

On much closer examination, I came to realize that he had bought a car quite badly neglected in a number of areas. When we came to inspect it, I should have been far more thorough in examining the car. I thought it looked well cared for, had nice bumpers and all the stickers in the right...

I think now is the time to update our joint effort and dealing with the seized engine in general, and the car in particular-perhaps it should be the other way round. My partner in crime is my oldest son Richard. He got his taste for the P6 Rovers right from when he was able to drive around my...

Has anyone brought all of this to a satisfactory conclusion ? I recall an "unmolested and untouched" 6.3 engine. on a Ch.109 I was restoring. Now, this is original and gospel - No.2 and No. 5 (as viewed from the front) had four ring pistons, as opposed to the other six that had three ring...

Hasn't anyone else seen the pictorial collection of these cars - surely please. Two favourites of mine apart from some others - the 300SLMercedes Sports Car and that absolutely gorgeous yellow.................? Lancia - how delectable - come and take my GB !

Yeah Michel, don't worry - I saw that left rear wheel 5 feet up in the air and still blowing blue tyre smoke. That was enough for me, especially after I saw that cheesy grin when next you came down that long "Mulsanne" straight before you hit first gear to get around that corner again - Ladies...

I have always gone a simple, but effective step further when, to all intents and purposes, the Water Pump needs replacement. I remove the Radiator, plus the triangular water housing and water pump as one unit - just to get away from the Crank shaft pulley that makes it difficult to remove the...

Nah Patrick, Michel wanted to try my Gleaming Beauty as well on the day, but after I witnessed his futile attempts to destroy the Red Terror, I said thank you, but no thank you. He drove like Fangio and Mirling Stoss as one. Regards Styria

Patrick, many years ago I purchased an AMG spoiler/Air Dam from Silver Star Spares. In due course, I had a mould made up which I still have to this day. At that time, I had about ten units made up in Fibreglass, and sold them, painted if so required, for about $380.00 complete. Michel's Red...

Okay, Oversize or anyone outthere in the wonderful world of the multi tasked web - I am looking for a starter motor suitable for a 6.9 - can anyone help ? Mark, I have mentioned this to you before - are you the saint that can help me ? Surely there must be something in your collection that...

It is almost beyond description, but this thread first saw light of day more than ten years ago. I really can't add much more to this story. People probably don't realize just how nice the interior of the car is when compared with some 6.9s that have been advertised over the years. Regards...

BenzBoy, the web page you have brought up succinctly illustrates their beautiful array or selection of their wedding car fleet. Additionally, I have also spotted the open roof of the Sedanca de Ville style arrangement. Regards Styria

Well silly old me, I just spotted it as I was leaving my factory, and on the way home I stopped my car. Traffic was heavy and my attention was mainly drawn to the two tone colour scheme and the graceful lines. BenzBoy, there was mention of the Wedding Hire company on somewhere on the back of...
