This week's car is the rare 500SLC. These have really jumped in value the last 3 years. At this price it will probably get exported to europe. This particular car is pretty much exactly the spec I would want on one. the later 4 speed transmission, no problematic chrysler sourced...

This weeks car is chosen for its simply hideous interior. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mooroolbark/cars-vans-utes/mercedes-benz-swap-trade-1979-450slc-v8-pillar-less-coupe-2-door/1143737263

This weeks car, a 280SE 3.5 W108 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-280SE-V8-Factory-Air-Power-Steering-4000-just-spent-on-MERC/173016820968 Looks like a decent car. Price is not cheap, but probably not out of the range of one of these cars. Car is clearly not perfect but looks like a...

Some of you might remember I bought an S211 E350 about 15 months ago. At the time, the car needed rego and the previous owner had to put two new front tyres on to pass. He put on the 'bob jane all rounder' and I can say after less than 10,000km, they are pretty much bald now. Tyre...

The easiest way to tell when looking at cars for sale online is to look at the instrument cluster as there is an indicator in the speedometer that lights up when the system activates. in the photo above you can see that indicator (square) above the odometer. For when they show the whole...

This SLC on grays looks interesting. Current bid $6000. Its listed as a 1973, but I estimate it to be a 79 or 80 model. Its an import, so probably a high comp motor too. Can't see rust in the usual places although you would need to get underneath to be sure...

One for Styria, a 3 part publicity video on the launch of the 'new' 3 litre car in the late 50s and some interesting coverage of how it was made: 3WAOUpUUO30 iiq73_KUJgM N79kzwNfUIk The videos are quite an interesting view of how cars were made in the late 50s even if you have little...

This is quite a nice example of a manual 3 litre P5. Saloon, not coupe https://www.swva.co.uk/lot-56-rover-p5-3-litre-1965/

This W123 is a time capsule car with less than 20,000km and apparently history to prove this. I love the colour, pity its a 230 carby, not the best W123 model. Not sure why anyone would have fitted a towbar to a 230! Seller is asking $15k which is probably not unreasonable if the miles...

Styria, these are the photos I took for you: IMG_1172 by Bryce Dunn, on Flickr IMG_1171 by Bryce Dunn, on Flickr

I put 5l of petrol in my rover last night and it fired right up after not having run for a few months. It had gotten quite low and I didn't want to damage the fuel pump by running the car with no petrol in the tank. I've been impressed with the 3 liter unit - its smooth and has plenty of...

Was there a link to this car or a picture?

One of the flynn rovers has come up, asking $10,500. Sold for $900 at the auction. Its clear the buyer of that car has spent some good money as the car from memory was quite rough at the auction site and needed a lot of work. I suspect this chap purchased some of the interior lots to make...

this one is in a Jag but could equally be applied to a benz https://imgur.com/a/Kiflf

Never driven one but you would have to assume there was something wrong with it to be that slow.

This 6.9 has seen better days: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL-1979/SSE-AD-5014139/?Cr=3

Sounds good! I keep meaning to put some more gas in the tank and drive it around the parking lot.
