Re: Engine trouble

I have 2 engines partial mounted in my garage, and one rebuild in the car. The one in the car is rebuild by me. I have also a spare head, together with an old ignition, this makes it easy to look. So when you are not far from Assen/Groningen/Drachten, you are welcome to take a look ;) Without a wate...

Re: SERIES II [GOLD DASH] SPEEDO IDENTIFICATION

I have a spare speedo, also a "Dutch" one, but they looks the same. My original one with 71882 km's, is already in use in the car, and changed a little ;)[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1465929572_12584 [/frame] This is my spare one:[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=146...

somewhere between begin and end? 1951, the internal hinge was going to the outside, and later the mounting changed again.
Mine is end 1951, and has the external mounting

Re: Orange rubber Vs Ethanol

In Europe, a lot of hose manufacturers are active. In the Netherlands we have "Eriks" . This company has remade the original flexible hose between the pump and the carburettor for me, using the old connections. I am for sure in your area they are also. Maybe a dealer from the Parker Hannif...

Re: original hinge side windows

Looking on the old pictures from the 1950 car, one of them was also without external hinge, the other side was without hinge, so not interesting, I think.
But the small one can be the one for my (later) 1951.
The only problem is, I have two, for the same side... :x

Re: original hinge side windows

you have to open the window complete, to see this part.
And because both sides are the same, and all is chromed, this does not look like a local modification.

Re: An 1951 MM LHD, stripped, with a minimum on rust

Got the license number this week, now waiting on the license plates, because they have to be the "old type" you have to order them and wait.
Insurance is ready, so when the plates are there, I can drive on the road.

Re: This Europe referendum malarkey

The UK will thrive if we leave, Made in Britain will become a badge of pride for sellers. It amazes me that no government of any flavour has revived the Buy British campaign that was popular when 'ahem' most of us were young. Without the UK the Euro will probably collapse, Sterling will remain stro...

painted line on MM wheels

I had a green spare wheel with a line on it, but on my black wheels is nothing. Because my black wheels are never repainted, and without a line, I did not notice it. Was this line an option, or not for all wheels? I repainted the green wheel, and the spare wheel, and now still have 2 wheels in the o...
