Simply incredible nut and bolt W116 restoration!

I drove an A class sedan (new) recently, with HUD on the windscreen. Only problem was, with S-polarising sunglasses on, you can't see the display. The problem can be solved if the screen manufacturer incorporates a layer of 3M film (or equivalent) that alters the reflective properties of the...

Well, my post about the like-new 450SLC failed to get anybody's juices flowing other than Michel, but I certainly was happy to find the following W116 videos. He's a droll but largely accurate narrator: https://youtu.be/DTd2rQIjhBY https://youtu.be/I0HOHaqRYCw https://youtu.be/JVNTZD8Gq_8

Wow, superb. https://classicthrottleshop.com/1978-mercedes-benz-450-slc-astral-silver/

Hi All - My son has a 1984 230E. Great car, champagne gold metallic. Alas, its engine suffered a blown head gasket and he was pretty despondent. We found a donor car in Rose Bay (Sydney). It was the ideal candidate. Crap body with great engine and for $900 it was his! The good parts pulled off...

Nella scuderia, which means "in the stable".

Hi All - SLC in sunshine a few days ago ... Fuchs bundts care of House of Styria :)

One of the better examples in recent times in Oz: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/798702637174405/

Hi All - I've been away for 3 weeks and came back to a very low rear end on the 6.9 (left and right). When idling, it maintains normal height in the front (even left and right) and also responds to the raised H position at the front only. There's no leak from back struts so I wonder if the...

Just received from SL Shop for SLC. Fit this weekend. Very good quality remanufactured.

Just fitted this item (new old stock) from the SL Shop. Old one very stained. For RHD, passenger side NLA. Can get after-market to glue over. Might try that. Cheap.

I have original Fuchs alloys on the 6.9 (6.5J x 14H2) with part number 1084001002. There was a different part number for narrower 5.5 and 6.0J etc on lower models, plus other part numbers for spare parts sets with centre cap, metal stem valve and bolts. All NLA, and some 15" versions available...

My 117.985 engine in the 450SLC idles quite smoothly at the specified 750 rpm and normal temp (87C), but it shakes and vibrates the body (e.g. sitting at traffic lights). Is this an engine mount problem or other? Look forward to members' expertise. Thanks.

A stable-mate for the 6.9, my recently acquired 450SLC in Citrus Green with Parchment leather. 86,000 km, fully documented. Loving this precious car:

I've been watching this car. It was also in recent Mercedes Benz Enthusiast. Value of an original car on the up. Recent big 6.9 sale in France too. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281850001903?_mwBanner=1

Quite simply, wow. http://www.4starclassics.com/mercedes-280-se-auto-for-sale/

Pedantry and correctness leads to a request to Admin to rename this section as R/C107. There was no W107. See: http://media.daimler.com/dcmedia/0-921-657476-1-1279283-1-0-0-0-0-0-11702-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0.html
