    6.9 High Pressure Steering Hose

    Absolutely good news John. It is only in the last three months that I have had an involvement with a 6.9 that would groan and gurgle with a set up that was being used. When stationary, and on Idle, one could hardly move the Steering wheel. Another workshop obtained three replacement hoses...

    Removing tint

    Unfortunately, right at this moment I can't come up with a satisfactory "solution". A few years ago, I became involved with the removal of tints from a Nissan SUV, and it took a long, and frustrating time. I obviously used the wrong material - whatever it was. I used a heat gun, my finger...

    water pump

    John, as best as I can determine, your prices are fair. Are you able to price the rubber block and also the Alloy Housing that fits between Pump and Engine Block. Regards Styria

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Okay, some more thoughts. As best as I can tell, it is a 1960-1961 Mark1(1A) as evident by the chrome surrounds of the two main Instrument Dials, plus the early one piece Head/Inlet manifold (as best as I can tell) and also the Rover 3 Litre lettering on the upper part of the Radiator Grille...

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Well, well - some interesting snippets. By the looks of things, the guys are quite taken by this Rover. I suspect that the guys are not terribly familiar with some of the finer points of the car being illustrated. Firstly, that cruise control module is in fact the wiper motor. Rovers didn't...

    history of motec 6.9

    Not too sure of what to make of this post. Is Geoff talking about a car different to Memnoch, Milan Brown in colour, and I wonder if he has recommenced his efforts in finishing off the car which, I believe, is still in Perth with the Panel Beaters. Maybe if Geoff reads this post (thread), he...

    Another 450SEL... Work in Progress

    Well, the main consideration is that you got paid for it. BTW, I've not yet seen it figure in the Bash event. Maybe it's languishing somewhere being totally unloved and lonely. It's a bit like a Swiss guy (chief) that purchased my 300SEL with M189 engine and I understand that he was starting...

    7 years since this video off Memnoch

    Geoff, do you have a time frame in mind ? From the pictures I have seen elsewhere, this car of yours seems to have a lot going for it. Especially, as I can recall clearly, you purchased a hell of a lot of new parts probably about four to five years ago. What exactly is next on your agenda ...

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    Perhaps you can see what I mean by referring to the dash when compared with the Pearl Inlaid offerings by some of the Mercedes models of that era. Nevertheless, the Horch Dash in this most unusual timber pattern also constitutes a work of art, as some of the other Chrome fittings that are...

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    When I travelled to Europe in 2005 and 2008, I was fortunate in stumbling across C. F. Mirbach, a prestige and Classic Cars dealership located in Bavaria between Munich and Salzburg. It was an unforgettable experience, and that is where I laid eyes on my only Horch I had ever seen, and...

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    No words needed really. Comparing the '30s Horch with the various Mercedes Cabriolets of the same period, I found that the In-Laid Pearl dash of the Mercedes was a step above the Horch. Regards Styria

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    BTW, take no notice of old threads on this magnificent Marque - all videos have disappeared, for reasons unknown. Regards Styria

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    Quite an interesting video giving details of one found in Leipzig, in the old East German. Regards Styria

    HORCH - the other '30s German

    I was privileged to see one of the Convertibles in Germany in 2005. They are magnificent. Regards Styria

    Another trueism

    So Sean, what happens after that ? Any clues ? I thought I'd come up with a smart reply seeing that the post had not attracted any replies. It is just one of those days today. Regards Styria

    My, oh My, that was ten years ago. Do you ever miss it, Michel ? Regards Styria

    Well Mark, all I have ever done to 6.9 engines that I have had an association with are the high compression engine in my Gleaming Beauty, and an Astral Silver 6.9 that was purchased by Chris P. now living in WA. I've not heard from him for some time. I carried out Valve Grind and De-Coke on...

    Ferguson Four wheel Drive

    Strange that we should be talking Jensen Interceptors. Recently, the son of the owner of the Gold 6.9 that I am keeping in my workshop, called in with a brand new dash for said 6.9. During a brief conversation he enquired which car the unit was for - "is it for the Jensen" ? "No" I told him...

    Michel, I know you stopped fretting a long time ago - don't worry, Gleaming Beauty did not make the cut either. Nevertheless, some beautiful cars that feature in the illustrations. Regards Styria

    BMW M5 Competition Series

    Mark, time to get the 6.9s going - have you got any candidates likely to fulfil that role ? You know, talking about BMWs and their role as "driving machines" - my understanding is that few cars can match them dynamically, but I think the idea is to keep them for five years max and then...
