    Difference Between W116 and W126

    W126 comparison

    I’ve been thinking about getting a W126. Don’t ask me why, I think they’re gorgeous and are the most classic looking Benz ever. I did own two at one stage - a 280SE and a 560SEL. Obviously the 560 SEL would have to be the ultimate as it ticked all the boxes while the 280 did absolutely nothing...

    Happy 50th Birthday R107

    In April 1971, production of the all-new Mercedes-Benz R107 SL began, a car that would go on to become an automotive icon, a status symbol, a car of inspiration and the poster child of an entire generation.

    Another Project

    I guess I couldn't let this one pass, although this model is probably the one I least like or desire, but it was too good to let go, at least on paper and in the photo. It has books from new and could do with a bit of body work and a respray. Time will tell if I made the right decision. I'll...

    The new bumper bar

    My CLK430 has suffered a series of mishaps with the front bumper bar. It started with one of my sons parking too close to those bumps that stop you from parking too close to walls in car parks. That cracked it and ripped it on the way out. Jerry fixed it with fibreglass and repainted it. Then...

    Vacuum???

    Doing some maintenance on the Red Terror today (plugs, belts, etc...) uncovered a cracked vacuum ‘something’ see pic below. I know it has something to do with the heater valve. Can someone enlighten me as to where I can get my hands on one of those ? Are they available new? Many thanks 😁
