It would seem a few French classics might appear if this legislation goes through .... 'Old bangers' and classic cars to be banned from Paris - Telegraph Interesting comment in the penultimate paragraph ............

I just picked up the Sept issue of practical classics and read the 4 page article about the w123. Lovely pics of the 280ce used for the british motor show of that year, but it seems they let Mark Cosovic have a bit too much input. The whole article reads like a scare story to put people off...

This is usually a good event. LINK. 2012 is a 3 day Jubilee Special!!! 2000+ Classic Car Spectacular & Cheshire Auto-jumble in the 26th year at Tatton Park. 90+ top car club displays with many clubs holding their northern nationals at this massive event, up to 600 private entries too, Large...

anyone been to this place? anyone bought a car from here? the cars look amazing!! Mercedes-Benz Classic - Classic - Young Classics

November issue of Practical Classics Magazine is just out and has a 7 page article comparing Mercedes w126 500sel with the Jaguar SIII XJ6. The article refers to an original 1979 'Car Magazine' review of the w126, which ran the rather xenophiobic headline 'Will the Germans ever win'. I think we...

Which models do you think from the last 15 years will obtain "classic" status and actually increase in value?

Is anyone going to Croxley Green on Sunday? A great show up to 2000 cars and a steam rally. 10 am till late, weather looking good as well. Croxley Green Herts WD3 3 for sat nav's.

May I remind everyone about one of the best events in the country? Classics on the Common It's a general event, but there will be a good sprinkling of MBs. The total number of exhibitors is limited this year for some reason, but it's still going to be well over a thousand. Unless you are...

This sounds like a great idea, shame it's not available in the UK.. Top Mercs are as good as new - Telegraph

... I mean it seemed such a simple idea - one everyday classic car that could be driven in all weathers. Something not too precious or rare that parking it would not involve driving to the top floor of the multistory - where it would be alone and safe and with running costs that would not break...

So just out of interest what do people see as being the future classics in the MB range from the last ten years. I'll start the ball rolling with my SLK32AMG. Why you may ask? Because I happen to have one :D and I've had it from new. It's comparatively rare, being one of only limited numbers...

Is anyone from the MB Club going along to this event in Suffolk. It's on tomorrow (Sunday 15th). I'll be showing my car on the PistonHeads stand, along with a couple of TVRs, a Vette, a Viper and a couple of kit cars :D If you're going, pop over and introduce yourself (I'll be the only...

Classics May Be Banned Some environmentalists are urging the EU to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. They argue that banning older cars would lead to them being replaced with more modern cars more beneficial to the environment. But replacing a car every ten years with a new one could...

Hello. Is anyone familiar with a company called E&C Classics? I purchased a 1988 300TE, it appears to be originally a European car, but found its way to Japan where it was sold in an Auction and brought to Canada. I bought it after that. It is a nice rust free car, about 65,000 miles. I'm...

What is everyone’s idea of the next future classics that is cheap(ish) now but will make good money in 10 - 20 years time. I’ve been reading a bit about the 365 Daytona in a couple of Classic car mags and they seem to have gone up significantly in the last 5 years and making some owners tens...

Classic Mercs are very tempting, but will they run on unleaded or do they need expensive head work? The ones I have in mind are: 300 SEL 6.3 280 SL Pagoda Any ideas on how much it would cost to convert to unleaded if it needs to be done?
