Looking at a W116 300SD
Looking at a W116 300SD
I've had an exchange of emails with Tom Hanson who has confirmed this started life as a LHD car. There's no reason to think the RHD conversion wasn't carried out properly - it's not as if there weren't any RHD W116s around to lift parts from. Again though, that remains to be seen.
As with most people on here I'll be looking for 'more' from the engine. Not sure how much more, but given one eye will be kept on economy, it'll need to be a careful plan. Of course, with more power and torque a taller diff could be used which could help with cruising...
I kinda need to get my hands on it first.
Some more pics below.
And the important bit at the front.

It looks pretty good in the pics... The proof will be in person!
