    Looking for 600 #1054

    Not that one. The colour seems fairly unusual. I suspect its sitting in somebody's garage down on its suspension and looking rather sorry for itself.

    Looking for 600 #1054

    This 600, a 1968 build, was owned by the grandmother of a friend of mine from new and sold in the 80s. He still has the service book and would love to find out if his grandmother's car is still on the road and give it to the current owner. Thanks to Anthony checking M100 group records, we...

    Sold: 1986 300SE W126

    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.

    6.3 #2723

    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...

    Camshafts

    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...
