This is quite a nice example of a manual 3 litre P5. Saloon, not coupe https://www.swva.co.uk/lot-56-rover-p5-3-litre-1965/

This W123 is a time capsule car with less than 20,000km and apparently history to prove this. I love the colour, pity its a 230 carby, not the best W123 model. Not sure why anyone would have fitted a towbar to a 230! Seller is asking $15k which is probably not unreasonable if the miles...

I put 5l of petrol in my rover last night and it fired right up after not having run for a few months. It had gotten quite low and I didn't want to damage the fuel pump by running the car with no petrol in the tank. I've been impressed with the 3 liter unit - its smooth and has plenty of...

Was there a link to this car or a picture?

One of the flynn rovers has come up, asking $10,500. Sold for $900 at the auction. Its clear the buyer of that car has spent some good money as the car from memory was quite rough at the auction site and needed a lot of work. I suspect this chap purchased some of the interior lots to make...

this one is in a Jag but could equally be applied to a benz https://imgur.com/a/Kiflf

Never driven one but you would have to assume there was something wrong with it to be that slow.

The car in question.

This 6.9 has seen better days: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL-1979/SSE-AD-5014139/?Cr=3

Sounds good! I keep meaning to put some more gas in the tank and drive it around the parking lot.

The car in question:

Had I more time you could probably take my car as a donor for repairs to this one.

I was in canberra for family reasons this weekend but found 10 minutes to stop by the german car show on the way somewhere. http://www.classicjalopy.com/2017/09/2017-act-german-car-show/

Looks nice. Sounds like it needs mechanical work though:

Yeah, the size, purple and that horrible font. In the USA you can use a period plate which is a nice option. Has to be the right year for the car. I did this when I lived in Michigan.

Reminds me a bit of an Excalibur. and like an Excalibur the proportions seem slightly off.

I didn't have time to make my own adaptor like I did for the W111 and Traction. So for the SLC I bought a 'novelty' plate but specified no letters. A ready made adaptor! More here: http://www.classicjalopy.com/2017/09/mounting-nsw-historic-plates/

Supra gearboxes are apparently easy to adapt to old british cars and there is a company who makes adaptor plates for them. Half the Jag Mk2's for sale these days have Supra's to replace the old MOSS gearbox. The other common choice is the tremec
