    Becker Radios

    If you have a Becker Mexico or Grand Prix I think it may have recently become signifiacntly more valuable. It appears that Becker have decided to drop the Mexico and Grand Prix from their catelogues due to falling sales in the face of competition from lower end companies who are providing...

    A good day for cleaning

    Today seems like the first really hot and dry day we have had for months in Sydney - perfect for interior cleaning. I shampooed all the carpets in all the cars - I use a Wertheim hot water vac for that + a mixture of methylated spirits/Lux flakes/eucalyptus oil and of course the K'Archer on...

    Mercedes-Benz loses preferred status!!

    As of yesterday, Mercedes-Benz has lost its preferred status in my household. Get this scenario; pouring rain and heavy traffic - flat tyre as a result of an unavoidable object on the road - struggle to get spare from under vehicle - nasty sharp edges on release mechanism leave cuts and blood...

    My Phantom II Continental

    Dear Mr P - you did not read the fine print alongside the first photo!! 118PY was repainted in the early 1970s by the then owner in Oxblood and Black. In due course it will be returned to the original colour scheme. I have original paint chips and original carpet for the correct colours and when...

    The 200TC is a lovely cruising car - I toured parts of Tasmania in one early last year and it was surprisingly good - but noisy. The Classic Throttle Shop is not shy when it comes to asking for a high price. Regards, Brian

    Two Ordinary Cars (Brown and White)

    Thank you Tim. Very kind of you. By the bye, generally one refers to an R-R as a Royce since Sir Henry Royce (mechanic) designed and made them. The term Roller is considered to be somewhat of a slang term belonging to the 1970s when the Beatles bought a Phantom and painted it in garish colours...
