Some of the older, and perhaps not quite so glamorous Americans, are certainly worthwhile perusing. For instance, the following I found of great interest, possibly perhaps I have not really seen them previously..... Hudson Hornet - what an imposing limousine. Wonderful looking Chevy - how...

For the information of members, there are many more pictures taken on the day of the show. In all, I took eighty pictures, many covering (in my humble opinion) some lovely Italian rarities, and other unusuals and Classic Cars. Regards Styria...

There is no doubt that there were just so many beautiful, so many delightful, so many unusual cars on display - and I daresay that each and every owner has put just about all of their resources, and maybe knowledge, but certainly pride to each of their cars. I must admit that I just about get...

I don't know what the blue eyed, yellow faced 'thingy' stands for, but it looks appropriate for the thread which, in itself is characterized by the absolutely new and brilliant expression "Frustration Colossiale" (don't you guys agree ?), so appropriate for certain aspects of 116 ownership. Oh...

Hi Bill, I'm all for leaving well alone - in other words, if it ain't broke, don't bother to fix it. It could well be that driving the car for a few days may get the suspension to settle down and get rid of possible 'Air Locks', but I have some doubt. Generally, if the system is working well...

Hi all, one of the most tedious jobs on a 6.9 and most 116s relates to the removal of the above mentioned components, particularly the switch panel that incorporates the slider heater/fresh air controls and the rotary dials for the Air Con. and Fan. There are a number of issues to...

Got your engine bay nice and shiny - please feel free to let us have a pic. of your pride and joy. Here are a couple of samples... Gleaming Beauty - fairly neat and tidy..... Regards Styria

Hi Bill, I'll go along with your observation regarding Chris and Michelle - an absolutely delightful couple and I was indeed sorry to see them move away from Sydney. Naturally, I am glad that you were able to help and I am indeed grateful and appreciative of your action. Pretty frustrating to...

Hi Alabbasi, thanks for those photos. It's always interesting to see the inner and outer workings under the bonnet of a 6.9, and this car is no exception. I have to say that I am surprised, and perhaps disappointed, to see the state of the engine bay of this particular car. Yep, all those...

Hi Bill, thanks for taking 'ChrisP' under your wing - it is a pity that he moved to WA which means that I cannot advise him properly, and whilst he is no 'duffer' from a mechanical point of view, it does help to have some 'intimate' knowledge of the hydraulic system. I was perplexed when I...

Hi ChrisP, it's nice to see those pics of "Kaiser" Wilhelm - and him looking in such splendid condition. As you know, we have talked about a couple of matters in relation to the problem, but I was never aware that you had fitted another pump. New ? Second hand ? How good is it, and was it...

Hi Alabbasi, any chance of getting a pic or two of the automatic control servo ? I have heard so much about them, but know absolutely nothing. As far as jumping up and down on the bumpers, I'd never have the heart to do so - the Euro/Aussie bars are quite delicate and need therefore be treated...

These are available at a very reasonable price as quoted on their website. I am not sure how many you get for the money quoted. http://www.paragonperformance.com/mercedbrk.html Regards Styria

Tim was kind enough to forward an ebay link on a Coupe for sale - in Victoria. http://cars2.ebay.com.au/Mercedes-benz-W111-280-SE-Coupe-1968_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ290460195333 I would be interested in other's opinions. The price is NOT cheap, yet it is left hand drive, it is a 280 and not...

True to his word, Michel got out his gun and got Jerry to perform his deed.... ,,,,,and I need to say that it does indeed look pretty good. Me thinks I've changed my previously held opinion. Regards Styria N.B. So now we need an all encompassing and honest opinion from all topklasse...

Okay, that's the standard charcoal or light grey........... ..and that's the black SEL69L has been talking about.. ...and then there is, of course, the experiment with body colour - unfortunately, ther are no alloy strips and that tends to take away from the possible attractiveness...

Well, I think it's been a good and useful discussion, and I am sure that there has to be a lesson well learned by each of us somewhere along the line. I myself will use Nankangs again as I have had no adverse experience either by way of lifting treads or any other defects. Regarding the harsh...

Has anyone ever removed this 'dry sump' tank from their car ? Believe me, it's one of those jobs that can be quiote cumbersome and physically demanding. The tools required, primarily, are Open End spanners ranging in size from 36 millimeters down to 27..... and it5 is necessary to remove the...

Hi Oversize, sorry it has taken a bit of time to display pictures of the suspension blocks - the two on the left are the front ones, and the others obviously the rears. I have also included pics of the choking blocks that should be used when jacking the car with the standard jack. I have...

Picture of rear carpet.... Regards Styria
