Question Help wanted with old mercedes...

I've got a 1968 250SE which I'm looking to rebuild the motor. I live in Adelaide, South Australia and am looking for somewhere where they know mercedes and can help me with parts and support.

If anuone knows of such a place, please let me know.

Thankyou,

Harry

Try contacting Mercedes (of Australia?) on the net. Mercedes has a program where they help (and even remanufacture parts) for the old pre-70 classics. Yours might not be glamorous or a gullwing to someone else, but it is to you and there are people at Mercedes who will understand and appreciate that. I really wouldn't be surprised if they could put you into contact with the right resources....
