I don't have a picture. My understanding is that the TX valve can be a generic one so long as the specs are correct. I'm about to replace the TX valve on the Spirit and my R-R tech man told me any would do so long as it fitted and was the correct temp range. The same happened with my Alfa 164...

A wooden body always has some flex. The PII has steel wire girders that run front to rear through the body to minimise flex but it can only be fully controlled by a steel shell - and that is where the monocoque body is so successful. Thus, with some flex a rear hinged door can pop open...

My ML has them so why not? :D Actually, the ride can be quite bouncy and you do need something to steady yourself against. Remember, we are talking about solid front and rear axles!! You also need something in case the suicide doors fly open. Most have installed a hidden lock. I certainly have...

If it was with the Lambda then that is the one I mean. The VSSC car for display, discussion and looking at next Tuesday's meeting is the Bugatti that was at Eastern Creek. Regards, Benz-Boy

Show me a phoot and I tellya. There is a considerable number of desirable cars in the S H. The best I know of is a Vauxhall - model etc I am not up on - but one of the originals. There is a hell of a lot around. Join the Vintage Sports Car Club and a whole new world opens up. Buy a Phantom and...

Yes it does look OK. The white instruments were a special order - as was the barometer on the passenger side. Michel; maybe next time? :D:D I know the lure of Oran park is too great for you...:eek: Regards, Benz-Boy

Well, no. I was actually out playing with this 20/25..... And the Rover was a diversion. You may recall that you pleaded 'too busy' to attend? :D Regards, Benz-Boy

OBH. Is there nothing that you have not owned? :D Regards, Benz-Boy

Here 'tis, especially for Styria. Sighted today at an RROCA event I organised and so I took it for a ride. Great ride comfort and very nice handling. All round, a very appealing car. No wonder Styria likes them. Regards, Benz-Boy

Well done Oscar. Your awards Sir, for service to the restoration of Fine Machinery; Regards, BenzBoy

You can't take any notice of consumption figures in Canberra, Styria. They are like the Consumer Price Index and vary according to the cost of bananas. Now every time you talk of Your Gleaming Beauty, the following springs to mind. Is this the one you mean? Regards, BenzBoy

Can someone please explain scrub radius to me? Regards, BenzBoy

This is the best I can come up with... Regards, BenzBoy

Well-done Styria. All that patience will reward you for years to come with a sweet engine. What oil now that the first flush is done? Regards, BenzBoy

Er, perhaps not..... 1954-1969 was the period of the Cambridge (I seem to recollect) and perhaps BIG hair was a little later? Mind you, this one is VERY today in a lovely green. I know for a fact that Michel loves green. Regards, BenzBoy

I remember that they were VERY popular in cream with a tan flash above the chrome strip and a lovely brown interior....VERY Michel, wouldn't you agree Des? Very 2001. Regards, BenzBoy

Begins with C and ends in E. Just the thing to drive to a Topklasse BBQ? Think you can handle all this power Michel? Change a flat wheel? Plait a whip? Regards, BenzBoy

Hmm. I think the Prince has indigestion of the worst kind. I remember when the Austin Freeway and the Cambridge were the latest in British Motoring for the Great Outback. Reliable they were and that Pininfarina styling meant you could see all corners when parking. A lot to be said for that you...

Here is just the car for Michel. In fact, here is Michel hopping in to go away for the weekend with Lady Michel.... Regards, BenzBoy

Des has put his chief scribe to work - what title is fit for the Godfather's budgie? Regards, BenzBoy
