    Another 107 joins the stable

    Bought this reasonably recently. Was part of a deceased estate. Former owner was a doctor, and had owned the car for at least the past 25 years. Car was an English import at some stage. Mileage is 114,000 miles and according to a note behind the speedometer, it was repaired in May 2000 when the...

    I have joined the 107 club !

    Latest purchase. It is a 1975 450 SL C. Approx. 220,000 km. Service history. Needs some tidy up inside (carpet, seat bolster, etc) but it is rust free ! Yes, I know that is a big statement for a C107, but I have pulled most of it apart and the critical areas for 107's, such as the inside the fan...

    Better than ! We totally redesigned the piston and had them made from forged alloy. I own the mould.

    Ant's new car

    All I will say is that they are less expensive than Mercedes ones, and give higher compression.

    Last weekend's wrenching

    Finally got around to replacing the front and rear shocks on the 6.3 last weekend. The front ones were sort of OK, although the rebound rate on one was double that of the other, however the rears were good old Munro air shocks, that had no return whatsoever ! Now it has new Bilsteins all around...

    Beautiful 6.9 just sold in NSW

    Saw a beautiful Gold 6.9 at MB Classic Star today. It has just been purchased from Gosford. It was a one owner car (owner was apparently in his 90's) and it has 111,000 km on the clock. It is having a service for the new owner and new spheres. Can't tell you who the new owner is, but he owns a...

    6.9 # 7114 - it lives !

    The heads have now been cleaned up and ready to go back on the car. Some photos of the head and the worst of the burnt valves. For those interested, the cost was $1800 for the head work, which included welding of the valve seats as explained previously, and valve guides which I supplied, which...

    What is this ?

    I have never really taken much notice of the light pictured in the following link but it is the one in front of the shift lever. I have done bit of a search and cannot come up with any photos of anything similar. When the hazard lights are on, it also flashes in sync. When you turn on the...

    Mercedes fitted luggage

    For many years, Mercedes offered fitted luggage for most of their models, both pre and post WW2. I have various sets for my 300b, 220s ponton, and last weekend, I picked up this set from an auction in Germany for my 170s. Frankly, I "stole" it at EUR 960. This set is made by Hepco, who were the...

    Latest purchase

    Bought this the other day. It is not running and the previous owner has been told that the ECU is kaput. I bought it because I have a 300E-24 and will use mine to test it and hope that is what the problem is. If so, I will get another one from the UK, then decide what to do with it. Because of...

    1939 - 770K German Staff Car

    I saw the car in Hamburg. Since 2011, the company changed hands and now "Mirbach" is only in Munich. However, Claus has re-opened in a different suburb of Hamburg as Claus Mirbach (http://www.clausmirbach.de). Both companies have changed direction however and neither of them have as many...

    New (Mercedes) purchase

    I bought this yesterday http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf0ecb4f6.jpg There are other photos, so you should be able to scroll through. They are not the best quality but should give an idea. The former owner is a Brisbane mechanic, of German origin, and has been slowly rebuilding the...
