you might want to tell the sellers there is no such thing as a 1958
MG-TD. It is definitely a TD, but in 1958 MG was selling MGA's. The TD
started around 1950 and ended around 1954 - I say around because there
were no hard rules for determining the model year of a vehicle. My 66
MGB was

A quick look at the VIN on the Lancia will tell you if it's a 1981 or 1982 or
earlier. Isn't there an emissions label under
I managed to get the 1966 230 started today with an external fuel tank. It
was a little reluctant at first, but once the fuel was flowing through the
carbs it idled pretty well. It pulled out under its own power and was
lined up with the rest of the cars. It didn't smoke or knock, generally

Just the pictures are mixed up... the main photos are swapped. The other
photos for the cars are correct. No swapping of parts.
The 230 actually looks great, except for the terrible rust and repair
underneath. The 220S is a little rougher overall, but more solid. Its
certainly worth saving.
My 1962 300SE had discs all the way around, I believe.

I wonder about the mileage on the 85 300SD. It looks like a lot of blow by on
the valve cover for only 121,400 miles. I don't get that much blow by on my 80
300SD with around 425,000 miles. Plus, I got well over 200,000 miles on the
starter on both my 617s.
Just an observation.

Given how easily it started and well it ran, I haven't concerns about the
engine. It didn't show any blow by at idle, so it's likely an issue of
messy breather hoses.
There were plenty of high mileage cars there... I don't suspect any reason
it's not an honest car.

Am I a heretic if I say I admire the T-bird?
The red/white seats remind me of an old 1950's wooden speedboat.

Hi Guys,
I've been helping a guy up here in NJ who was hired to liquidate an estate
that includes several Mercedes. A W110, W111, and a bunch of W126s. The
best of the bunch is a 85 300SD with 121,000 miles. They've all been
sitting for several years and will need some significant cleaning and

I don't think that MG-TD is a 1958.
Mitch.
What is the chassis number on the 230? Picture shows the
taillights of a 111, but it looks like the front end may be single
headlights. No good pictures of the outside. Doors have pockets
like an S (111) but by 1966, even the 110s had door pockets. I can't
see enough of the dash or
15 matches
