Wolf in Sheeps clothing
I've been trying to blag a go in my pals 'old banger' for years.
Yesterday he gave in and handed the keys over for the Morning.
I doubt most of you guys will ever see one as they only sent about 25 to North America.
It's an 1998 C43 AMG and boy does it go.
What old tech (apart from Cox's obviously) has made you guys smile recently?

This!
Ear to ear grin every time I walk into the shop. Pretty soon I will have my '58 MGA saddled next to it. If I could stop messing with the planes for 5 mins I might could finish them.

I'm not nearly as cool as Brando...... I can't wait to hear the triple bark! I spent 2K on the engine and that was me doing all the labor and assembly apart from the machine work. Now I have room to start sandblasting the frame and tins.

Re: Wolf in Sheeps clothing
Ohh, that is a nice bike!! Is it a 66-67?
I have a 1952 Triumph TRW and a 1963 T21, the last one is going through a complete restauration, any one who have a set of pistons

Re: Wolf in Sheeps clothing
That's my p200x from '81, not a real wolf but for a vespa it is quite fast. I do only a ,,road'' tuning in order to prevent engine blow up.
I fitted a 210 Malossi aluminium nicasil plated cylinder, do some porting, mounting a longstroke crank (60mm cam instead of 57mm cam) = so it has now 221ccm = 13,481 cui, mounted a 28mm Dellorto (still rotary slide), lightened and ballanced flywheel (1800g instead of 3000g), reinforced clutch and a shortened 4. gear. The exhaust is from a vespa t5 125 with a welded ,,200'' manifold (something between resonance exhaust and original, really quit). In order to stop I also installed a aftermarket disc brake.
It delivers now around 21 hp at the rear wheel and has an acceptable accelaration by low fuel consumption.

It's actually a '74 T150 model, last year of the right side shift. 1975 went to T160 designation with electric start and left shift. The entire T150 run went from 69-74 and was doomed from the get go by the introduction of '69 Honda CB750
It was Meridian's last ditch effort to compete with the very popular Japanese multi cylinder superbikes. Unfortunately the T160 was 6 yrs too late. As Honda already came out with the lekky starter and left shift yrs before.
