Can anyone recommend a MB specialist to rebuild a 560 sel top end engine around west midlands? & any idea where i can source gaskets, are sourcing parts i.e gaskets, going to be tough?
Now who would you want to see when the suspension of a Cosworth Mercedes 190 is being done? Rather serendipitous photo of the work that Adam at CCPS posted as they started work on the rear of mine. Made my day :)

I'm rebuilding my W123'S SLS valve presently, or to be more precise replacing the 5 o rings that cause the car's rear end to sag after a few hours.
Economies of scale meant I ordered loads of them, so 'special offer' to members, a set for £5 posted.
PM if interested.
Got myself my dream car after several years of owning a 1997 W210 E 320 Avantgarde for 13 years and now falling to the rust monster. A real joy to drive and mechanically sound - pity the lovely body falls off.
So, I finally found a sound car - W210 E55 2000 in Blue. Lovely with only 86k on the...

My 202 is off the road for the winter because to be honest at the moment it has some suspension problems, it spun at low speed or what I percieve to be low speed in the wet on a roundabout, a full 180 yet I can go around the same manoveur in a rather noisy R reg Xantia VSX at almost twice this...
