I went to the 2026 event in my 240D: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2026/03/wheels-2026-act/

This 450SEL is a non runner, but has good paint and an average interior. will probably go very cheap: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=68372&lid=5760633 This 280S isn't bad: https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=68372&lid=5753239 This...

Should also add that this W116 was probably my favorite car there on the day:

I did a day trip for one of the days of this event: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2026/03/mb-clubs-national-rally-bathurst-2026-day-trip/

Yeah i think these K-jet cars are happier running slightly richer than a modern car would. Nice result.

I would test the fuel pressures. a gauge set is not all that expensive off ebay (at least it wasn't a few years ago) and the various fuel pressure readings normally quickly point to issues. It will show you if the accumulator is functioning properly.

Still no dice. today I removed three spark plugs to inspect the inside of the engine. while I think this is highly unlikely, as the engine ran well 18 months ago its an easy thing to rule out. all three I looked at looked good, then I had to go and pick up the kids from cubs.

The battery is brand new, but before I tow it, I'll use a jump pack too and see if that makes a difference.

I’m now back from overseas and finished with the 123 event so thought I would have another go with the 6.3. Instead of worrying about where the ground strap went, I got a jump cable and ran it from the negative battery terminal to the drivers side engine mount arm as it’s quite accessible. The...

I think so, but I'll try again just in case. Bryce

had a go with the brake pedal pressed and no dice, so will put the car up in the air and inspect the connections to the starter, but probably won't be able to get back to work on the car for a month as I have the W123 event and then a work trip. Stay tuned!

Went to the January event today: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2026/01/auto-brunch-st-ives-january-2026/

Aaah thanks for the tip on the starter. I'll try that. You did mention the cold start. I hadn't tried that yet as I wanted the engine to crank a bit and circulate oil around since its been a while since it was run.

Had some more time to work on 2723. 2) Drained the old fuel (about 15-25 liters left) and changed the strainer. The old strainer was pretty good, but not perfect so I used the new one since they are not particularly expensive. You need a 21mm hex to do it. They are about $20 from...

Pending Sale

Not a lot happening on 2723 as i've been quite busy with work. However, a few things: 1) Started draining fuel, the hose from the tank to the pump is very perished, so will replace that. 2) Replace the interior light with a spare that came with the car: 3) Clean and feed the leather...

I just got a couple from pelican parts. Genuine at UD$36 each.

This is a 6.3 for sale on car sales with a chassis number that makes no sense to me. My understanding is that 6.3's had their own sequence, and so would always be less than the roughly 6500 cars they made. But this car shows a data plate as below...
