MrT was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever: My huge pile of mags is just that - a huge pile, and in no particular order! So, can anyone remember if any of the mags have done a buyers guide or restoration feature on the Mercedes Benz W123 range in the last year or so. Just so I know which magazine(s) I'm hunting for! Not English ones, no. I've got one in German floating about...

Rather odd this little gem, I have a pair of hiff6 carbs on a TR6, the rear carb insists on vibrating when the throttle is at constant depression, I think it may be the dash pot springs are not man enough, the ones in it are from a Rover 3.5 V8. Why would the dash pot piston shake about and vibrate? Alastair

I think I heard it said that the Dolomite Sprint is the only Sports Saloon you can drive whilst wearing a bowler hat. I think this refers to people of normal stature and wearing the bowler in the customary position, but the point about headroom is well made :-)

Sorry for raising an off topic subject but I thought someone here might know the answer to a registration number that puzzled me today. I was driving back from the Lake District when I came up behind what looked like a current right hand drive Fiesta. Nothing unremarkable about that but although the car showed no nationality plate the registration number was just a series of 5 digits and I was...

There was a company called 'ex-pressed steel' that might be able to help you. I think they were doing a lot of Ford stuff, and the geography sounds about right. I don't have any contact details but I would think a web search or one of the classic magazines might help. HTH Mike. "THuNK" wrote in message ...
