    1955 300B Pininfarina

    I have never previously commented on this thread and posts therein. I know exactly what CraigS (sorry we don't hear from him any more) is talking about. I can take his observations a little further. Many years ago I owned a LWB 300SEL, 1966 vintage, with that venerable 300 six cylinder engine...

    Replacement of four doors - 6.9

    My friends, I hear and read what you are saying. Certainly no arguments from me. I will just see what action I will take in due course. Regards Styria

    Replacement of four doors - 6.9

    Mark, how uncanny is your observation in regards to handling properties with those B.F.s fitted to Gleaming Beauty. I never bothered to check the date of manufacture as there is plenty of good thread on the tyres and they were, as luck would have it, the correct 6.9 size tyres. During the last...

    Comment by 'Styria' in album 'Flynn P5 Coupe'

    That's been a useful car with many good parts that I have been able to salvage. Engine, G'box, Differential and a host of sundry components. Regards Styria

    Red Bull (5541)

    You could still put at least one, if not two, flags on it ! Regards Styria BTW, have you still got that car - it looks just so good. On reflection today, all words of wisdom. Do you still have that car and any progress on it ? Regards Styria

    The new ML

    BenzBoy, thank you for those details. I am a little surprised at the age of the car, but I am sure that you would have taken all that into account before you planted your hard earned cash. I bought Cappie (my Captiva) with 112K. on the clock, and it is now up to 215K. It's been a great car and...

    Old car - new Technology

    That was a great post of yesteryear. Unfortunately, E200K. spat the dummy when he got pulled up for something, and it is also unfortunate that we lost Tony 66 also a number of years ago. He was always good value with his knowledge and experience. That Pioneer Radio is still in Gleaming Beauty...

    Ferguson Four wheel Drive

    Very few cars that look better than a Jensen Interceptor. Many years ago, I had the option of buying one for $12K. - so that proves that it was long ago ! Why didn't I buy it, or perhaps a Lancia Flaminia Saloon at $3K. at the time - maybe money. The Flaminia had a badly slipping clutch, so no...

    Car of the week

    It's reasonable looking - certainly for its age. Unfortunately, the interior is probably its biggest downfall. Dirty and time worn carpets, accompanied by stiffness of the carpet pile and binding, and certainly the interior, in general, needs a thorough professional clean up. It just looks dirty...

    The new ML

    Well Benz Boy, you are certainly going about things the right and meticulous way and the car should prove a real asset to your various activities. I will not be so impolite as to ask you what you paid for the car, but I would be interested in date of manufacture and mileage travelled...

    W126 comparison

    I think that C107s assessment and experience with the W126 is "Golden". Plenty of hands on experience with his two cars, but one should bear in mind that he puts a lot of personal mechanical restoration into his cars, and he does not shy away from placing the cars in the hands of experienced...

    Gleaming Beauty - First Baby Steps

    Well, I have just read, or re-read, the thread from go to whoa. First comment - I can't believe that it was started thirteen years ago, and I admit to having little satisfaction for all the work I carried out at that time, and also at other times on account of many. many hours spent at the time...

    Restoration of my P5 Coupes

    You see, just goes to show what even a "dumb cluck" like me can be capable of (holding deep breath). As can be seen, that Mark 3 thread was started just short of three years ago. Furthermore, as can also be seen, much to my chagrin, that preciously little progress has been made since that...

    Restoration of my P5 Coupes

    A lot of information has already been posted in various threads pertaining to my Rover 3 litre P5 Coupes. It is hoped that further threads and posts will present a clearer picture of what the hell I have been up to ever since I was twenty four years of age - a neat fifty years ago.....and I...

    A big WOW on the way home...

    Thanks Patrick. It is actually my niece, my oldest boy's daughter. Richard has mentioned previously, say twelve months ago, "Dad, if Julie ever sells the car, give me first offer, as it would be an ideal first car for Zara" (his daughter). We had a belated family get together celebrating...
