    Mountain in Styria

    Yes, you're reading correctly - the Dachstein mountain is the highest in Styria which is the province where I came from in much earlier days. Its height ? Three meters short of 3000. Why am I writing about this - well, first of all, quite a number of months ago I spotted Ralf Schuermann and...

    Music I like

    This is a bit of an experiment for me, and if you don't like the song, I ask for your forgiveness in advance. The singer is Andrea Berg - a huge star in Germany and she had been around for many years. Please try it ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qbW5Kx2RE4 Regards Styria

    US Spare Parts Supplier

    Every so often you find an organization that charges absolutely over the top premiums for their spare parts. This is one of those - the asking price for some items is just beyond belief. You be the judge ! http://www.ebay.ie/sch/porforauto/m.html?item=172331080728&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562...

    Ironside (UK) 6.9 for sale

    Charles Ironside is a well known and probably Classic Car Dealer in the UK. This particular car appears to lack nothing - new upholstery, new paint and everything else correct, hence the asking price may well be justified. You have to ask yourself why such a low mileage example should have...

    Fuel Starvation and poor running

    Sorry to be a bit slow to respond. I have three Rover Coupes that I am presently restoring, and the last time I had done any serious work on the three cars was probably about twelve to fourteen years ago. The work at the time included: Rebuilding of engine, gearbox and differential...

    E55 AMG 210 Series

    I found this particular car for sale at about 12K.Euros. I really like some of the unusual features interior wise, but the main reason for posting is to draw the attention of SEL69L to this particular car and its features. It's very, very smart. SEL69L is of course the owner of a 1998 (?)...

    The W126 - 300 - 380 -420 -500 -560

    It's not before time that it has been decided to include articles, news, announcements etc. etc. in the pages of TK, covering the Ch. 126 models. As Michel said, their understated elegance speaks for itself, and it is certainly a worthwhile inclusion. It is hoped that a gradual build up of the...

    Great selection of photos

    I don't think one could go very much past the kaleidoscope of these photos - nostalgia at its very best. Regards Styria https://www.google.com.au/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_sitesearch=topklasse.org&gws_rd=cr&ei=3UJ3WPTSJMHB0gTK7b7IBA#gws_rd=cr&imgrc=ideiPpZw7HBQ6M%3A

    450SE for sale - VICTORIA

    Nice, straight, well kept car in the Southern State. Just a couple of observations. Firstly, one would think that the owner could have cleaned the carpets. Secondly, the Paint Colour appears to be Petrol MB877 - a rarity on a Ch. 116 car as it really did not come into its own until the advent of...

    My 450SE for sale

    I originally purchased my 450SE probably 12 years ago, primarily for the purpose of fitting its interior to another 450SE that lives (lived) in the Snowy Mountains. Once the interior had been removed, I was going to part out the car. However, it did not take long to realize that I had a really...

    concours - Baden Baden

    Baden Baden is a small city in Germany and very much at the forefront of perceived affluence and cultural achievements and events. I was curious to see the types and quality of classic and vintage vehicles that would be on display. I was not disappointed. The video goes for some little time...

    Rover Drive

    Known as the Rover 105R, it was only manufactured for one year - 1958. Don't ask me why, but I had always stayed clear of that model. Maybe in my younger days, I preferred a manual transmission car, but the perceived complexity of the transmission seemed to cast a shadow on this model. Those...

    Fouled Spark Plugs

    Sounds familiar ? Especially when applied to older cars going back to the fifties, sixties and perhaps even seventies, or when perhaps referring to the venerable M100 engine with its complex injection system. Of course, I understand that some owners and members may disagree and, of course if...

    1962 Lagonda Rapide

    Many times I have mentioned the Lagonda Rapide, basically a four door version of the Aston Martin DB4. Sure enough, the article makes it quite clear that there was more to creating this Saloon merely by extending the wheelbase and adding two doors. I wanted to feature this write up in TK...

    6.9 Speziale

    I hope this link is going to work. http://roesenclassics.de/M120/W116-V12-600-SE-5543.jpg I am a little biassed, but Petrol (MB877) has got to be one of the finest 116 colours. The other notable feature has got to be those wheels. Can anyone identify them ? BTW, looking up that website shows...

    Styria's Rover

    It's fair to say that James Taylor, in most ways, is the ultimate in authority to write about Rovers. There are two or three other books dedicated to the marque as well, also been penned by him. I really like the picture on the front of the book - lovely colour and it lends elegance to what is...

    Sean, are you offering ? I do have an excellent Auto Electrician, but he doesn't come cheaply. One of a number of issues relates to the warning lights for Oil Pressure, generator and the cold start warning light. At the back of the instrument cluster, are three plastic tubes that the bulbs fit...
