I too am looking forward to this build.

I have had the great privilege of sitting in the W165!

Vixen:
Simon, Do you happen to work for a certain car company in Northants?

sco:
Yes - the last two years after the Festival of Speed they've brought the cars up to the factory and fired them up in the car park.

Chatting to one of the MB classic team they are now running the cars so much that their stock of original parts is getting depleted and they are having to remake some bits.  Apparently the desmodromic valves from the 300SLR proved quite a challenge for Mercedes HPP at Brixworth!

I saw the germ of this project begin in ME a while back!   Welcome Mike

Looking forward to this build as well!
