This is a very special 300D turbo diesel sedan. It was named "Bubbles" by the previous owner because she felt the color looked like the color of champagne. Rather than try to tell you all about this car, I am going to have you watch a number of videos below. The first video will explain how we came to be owners of this pretty W123.
You are looking at examples of two of my favorite car designs of all time. I named them after the legendary Mercedes Benz designer Bruno Sacco. I personally consider this man one of the best automotive designers of all time. He shaped the face of Mercedes Cars during the 1980s and 1990s.
The M116 and M117 V8's survived production for over 20 years (1970 to 1991), so now these engines are all 30 to 50 years old. The rear fuel delivery system is an important part of these engines and it is often neglected even by professional mechanics. Recently I have seen two cars that had their fuel pumps replaced professionally, but the old fuel hoses were not changed!
<p>Monark has just partnered with PE Automotive and the nozzle production has started back up at the factory in Hamburg!!! We are thrilled to be able to offer the Monark brand nozzles once again for our Mercedes Customers!!!
So you want to pick up and restore an old Benz - maybe even a classic SL convertible? I have a recommendation. Bring home a running and rolling restoration project. Do NOT bring home a project car that is not running, needs a repaint, and shows severe signs of neglect.
Our primary focus is providing solutions to the most common technical problems that owners face on the early 1960's up through the early 2000's. These include the W110 W111 W113 W108 W109 W114 W115 R107 W116 W123 W126 W201 W124 R129 W140 W210 W211 and W220 chassis. As time goes on we may be adding some of the other models as well. If you love those Mercedes gas and diesel models and are a do-it-yourself ( D.I.Y. ) mechanic you have come to the right place. Even if you have never worked on a car before we can help teach you how to fix those little annoying problems, improve mileage and performance and save hundreds of dollars in the process.

It's been a long and busy race season. Our race at The Ridge with the all girls all star team we finished middle of the pack, no issues. The Benz is just slow for Chumpcar.
