Its got SLS, so probably the last owner messed with that. Apparently according the updated ad, it has a defect notice as they cut off the muffler and made the back a lowrider and the cops defected the car. Could be an ok buy for somebody to undo that nonsense if its cheap enough.

I went in both April and May: April: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2026/04/auto-brunch-st-ives-april-2026/ May: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2026/05/auto-brunch-st-ives-may-2026/

It was a great car for me in the years i had it, and I hope for Ant's son too. I hope it goes to a good home.

I would be impressed if he can get $4500 but good luck to him. Must ride like crap though!

It looks like my old 300SE is for sale again, but now the rear suspension is either broken or its been adjusted so far down it looks like a DC3 taildragger. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/26100189126347635/?ref=marketplace_pdp_share Asking $4,500

So good news is that the engine does turn over. Haven't got it to run though. My mechanic came to help me today. With various fiddling with the gearstick and so on, we did get the engine to crank over. But it turned over very slowly and we had a wiring harness at the front of the engine...

I don't mind the AMG stuff, but the orange doesn't work well for me.

Really good article about Jaguar V12 cams and how the author produced road cams with shorter duration for much better acceleration at the expense of top end performance but found them hard to sell as people want the bragging rights of peak hp they never used, especially as the stock redline of...

It was an excellent event!

I would be curious how he was able to strengthen it properly to keep the structural rigidity.

I would not use E10 in a classic. The ethanol plays havoc on all the fuel hoses, diaphrams etc. It also promotes rust in the fuel system. We are incredibly lucky that we can still buy proper petrol in 95 and 98, in some places you cannot and you can read about all the problems it causes for...

I just know because the guy i sold it to, Craig, told me. I am always pleased to hear that new owners are enjoying them.

And now my old 280SE has been sold to a new owner in Tasmania.

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.
