The Mitsubishi Colt got away?

Last night I went to testing the radios. I already knew the Mexico cassette would need repair, but the 1402 was last working in Styria's car some years ago, so it needed to be checked. As the wiring in my car has been cut, I needed to buy the proper plugs, which have now arrived. I want...

That’s a nice Rover. I always think that people who don’t list an asking price are playing games or don’t actually want to sell.

worst case, a rusty parts car would help, but sometimes these lpg systems are just sitting on top of the original benz stuff. would have to check.

450SE with rare red interior. Paint is a bit faded, and its a D-Jet car with LPG, but that red interior is great: https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/353447140307573/

according to mercdes website, a new S580L is 368k on road, so the 6.9 was higher than today's range topper.

great, thanks, will amend!

They were not. The ones not in bold are the years made, only bold ones sold here. Might not be that clear……

I'm trying to verify which W116 models were sold new in Australia in what years. So far I have: 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 280S x? x x x x x x x x 280SE x? x x x x x x x x 280SEL x x x x x x x 300SD x x x 350SE x? x x x x x x x x 350SEL x...

Couple of interesting contrasts. W113 pagoda vs E-Type, R107 vs C107.

what a great car, great to see the photos and hear the story behind it. I've always thought the R107 500 was the pick of the bunch, better than the later 560s for example. The Penta wheels look great.

I just noticed a new Member (Stephen Nemeth) had added some photos of his car to the Gallery. It looks lovely. Stephen, it would be great to hear a bit more about your car when you get a few mins. Link to the gallery: https://www.topklasse.org/forums/media/mb500sl-jpg.345/

What a nice car

Had the rear calipers rebuilt and new front shocks fitted last week. Finally all that pedders crap off the car. The pedders shocks were not that old and already falling apart. Making noises and the outer sheath was starting to break. I think the previous owner of my car was ripped off!

the brake pad light came on recently, so friday nite went to change the pads. Looks like one piston has been doing the work of two. Measured the thickness of the rotor and it's almost out of spec too. Put the old pad back in until I can get these rebuilt - kits on order.
