Apparently the guitarist from the bad Rush is the owner of a nice 380SEC and had a custom sound system installed. Its quite impressive, check it out here: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19940100carstereoreview.htm

Here is a quite good video series on the W116. Four parts that goes into quite a bit of detail.

I've recently purchased a set of 15" pentas for my 450SLC. I think this style goes really well with the C107 body shell. A couple of questions. 1) They didn't come with bolts, but from what I read on other US based forums, the bolts from the 14" alloys work. Is this correct? I have a set of...

This is an excellent website that shows the various wheel styles Mercedes offered. The Mercedes wheels are more for the moderns, but the AMG styles go back to W116, W123, W126, R/C107 etc. http://mercedeswheel.style

Last year I installed the Klima Design works monovalve replacement kit on my 560SEC. It wasn't a drop in replacement, but worked well and was a good option given the Bosch rebuild kits for the monovalve are NLA. I've just seen they have updated their kit with a true drop in replacement...

This is an interesting thread on Twitter about Full Size pickup trucks in America and how they are used. In the last five years these have become increasingly popular in Australia too. Generally I agree with the sentiments of this thread. Content for those not on Twitter: Pick-up trucks...

I've noticed that fuel seems to be more and more sensitive about its age. Recently I had a few issues on my Citroen DS I was waiting to have repaired. This meant that by the time I had that done, the fuel in the tank was from March. Now I have it back I have been using it for errands...

Here is a list of year by year colours for the W126 http://www.meinbenz.de/farben/126/Farbcodes126.htm Generally the move to conservative colours started in the mid to late 80s so the early colours are more vibrant. Its interesting that some colours like Black with red interior were really...

This is a list of colours for the W123 models. There are some really interesting ones here as the W123 spans a period where the colour options were changing a lot. It also got some of the new colours that came in with the W126 later in production...

These are the colour options available on the 116 model. There is sometime about the 116 that makes it wear bright colours better than nearly any other mercedes model. This includes yellows and golds etc. I think a 450SE in Mimosa yellow would be a very nice car to own for example...

Here are the colour options year by year on the 107. The 107 was in production so long that many colours came and went over the lifetime. http://www.meinbenz.de/farben/107/Farbcodes107.htm One omission is 906, which went from the start to 1979. Some really great colours here, shame the...

Here is a useful guide as to the colours available on the W114/W115 models year by year. Here in Australia white seems the most popular, probably as most didn't have A/C. This was of course back in the days when Mercedes offered a full palate of attractive colours...

This is quite a nice in depth review of the P6 from a real enthusiast of the model.

I’ve been the owner of this car for about the last ten years. Basically for those not familiar with the model, the 220SE coupe came out in 1961, at the Geneva motor show where it was somewhat eclipsed by the Jaguar E-Type. A shame as it’s probably Mercedes most attractive post war design and...

I attended this event with the MBCNSW. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/05/national-motoring-heritage-day-2021/ I managed to park next to a 300SL Roadster!

The JDCA ran an event today celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar e-Type. I attended along with 57 other E-Types. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/04/60th-anniversary-of-the-jaguar-e-type/

This is a really interesting article about Big Red, a concept gas turbine truck made by Ford: https://www.thedrive.com/news/37925/we-found-fords-incredible-turbine-powered-semi-truck-big-red-thats-been-lost-for-decades

Guidelines for this one. A photo of your car out on a drive in the countryside. remember, to click the like button on the photos you like as this is how the contest is judged.

Anyone have a few used bits for W126 they have sitting around they would part with for a reasonable price? I'm a bit sick of being messed around by people parting out cars for some basic requests.... What I am looking for: 1) rear drivers side door striker. I'm going to use it on the front...

I'm putting up some shelves so went through some of my spare parts. This shows the difference between early (1959-69) and late (69-72) headlight types on the W108/W109/W111/W112 models. I wrote an article a couple of years ago which I have also updated to the new photos...
