Not A Proper Classic

Welcome to Not A Proper Classic!
Here you'll find videos on working on, living with, as well as loving (and hating) life with my C124 (W124 coupe) 1993 Mercedes 220ce.
As it was only 29 years old when I got it, apparently it's not a proper classic car.
There may be guest appearances from a Nissan Figaro and other cars crossing past the Not A Proper Classic workshop.

Formula Silverstone Single Seater - is it worth it | Not A Proper Classic
Переглядів 5116 годин тому
I unleash my inner #F1 driver at the #homeofbritishmotorsport #silverstone for the Formula Silverstone #drivingexperience - where they let you drive flat out in a single seater on your own! If you're thinking about getting this for someone or yourself, this is a quick run through of what to expect, and whether it is any good (spoiler - yes, yes it is).

Ahead of my Formula Silverstone track day - Mrs NaPC and I visited the Silverstone Museum and met F1 and motorsport royalty... Well worth a day out, especially if you have a Silverstone experience as you get half price entry for up to 4 people. If not, you can get annual membership. Some amazing race cars, bike, RAF and motorsport history - and we even got a chance to walk some of the (old) Sil...

This is nothing go to Amsterdam 😂😂
I’d love to!
Great video mate, thanks for that. Did the aerial needed to be extended for this procedure? The round piece that goes on first, how did you deal with the aerial? I may have missed this bit on the video. I'd think you'd have had to bring the aerial to the compressed position, slip the round piece over it, then extend the aerial through the hole in the body. Does this sound accurate?
I think it helps if it is extended. But mine is stuck up so I didn’t have the choice! As for the first rubber piece - that goes in first, from the inside if I remember correctly. Then the aerial goes in. May be worth loosely bolting it in place at this point. Then put the top piece over and sealing it up. It was a while ago when I did this - but I’m sure you’ll get there. If you’re struggling, put the rubber into warm/hot water the soften it up a bit.
Can I buy tickets for the Silverstone Museum in person, or do I need to purchase them in advance?
I think you can do both. We just turned up on the day - and as I had a driving experience later that day we got 50% off. If you buy a normal ticket I think it’s an annual pass.

Its a car
YES! 75 or ZT's way more aesthetically pleasing today compared to modern cars which seem to have been designed by a 9 year old with a ruler and a crayon 😅
@kingingit
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Stone drives are a pain..Nice Benz though…
Not the best to work on that’s for sure!
First registered in Cheltenham spa....If reg is original..
What the fuck
JDM import. Surprisingly popular!
I had one …. Money pit but loved it
Needs a turbo!
A non cvt gearbox would be top of my list!
Thanks for sharing, is there any guides/info you were able to follow? Cant find much info online for removing the harness from a m111
Nothing too clear I’m afraid. It’s just a case of taking it slow and taking off the bits to make it clear. So the airbox and pipes linked to it. And the bulkhead soundproofing with the plastic flower-looking clips opens that out. Then it’s just slowly unclip as you go.
Hi, great spot ❤ Where's it located please. Looks to have been off the road about 27 yrs😢. X
It’s down in the yard of a local garage. So there is hope for it. I think it looks worse than it is. Plus they’ve done a lot of work on other tvrs and lotuses. :)
It was an add concept that gave the driver convenience of a full size door on a sporty coupé but also access to back seats for passengers
And unlike the mini clubman the door was curbside for us in the UK.
I have a black 300ce
I got my eng Harness fited last weekend, my car is running good now thank god, just as well I didn't try fit it my self I would have fucked up 😆
Glad it’s running well. Mines still not right. So think I’ll have to fit new coils. Shouldn’t be too hard as I had to remove and refit them for the coil harness. Just annoying I had to buy new and refit. Should I’ve done it all at the same time really.
No harm in doing them might do mine as well
Let us know how U get on, my car is still a bit lump E on starting up, but it is still alot better since I got the eng Harness done PS next is a real big service, gear box oil, eng oil and so on , will let U know how I get on mate
parts have arrived today from AutoDoc. So I know what I’m doing tomorrow! I’ve not done anything on my gearbox, so guess it may be good practice to do a gearbox oil service? How do you do that? A part 7 will be coming soon….! Also doing the hoses and discs and pads tomorrow too.
I wouldn't know about doing a gear box oil change 1:38
Good job mate
I never have a problem 😊I have other vehicles but I like this one the best
Thanks I got one of these cars it’s been a nightmare but for some reason I still keep it half the time it won’t start for my wife I think she’s jealous 😊
Mines needed a lot of love (and money) recently but I wouldn’t change it.
Colombia
Avíseme por favor gracias
Estoy interesado en uno carrera 6N.2.49 barrio San Sebastian la Plata Huila precio
I’m not sure where to get them online. This one came from a B&M store in the uk. But I’d say get a more expensive better quality one as this fell apart a few months later having only been used 6 times.
Sunny
Would satisfy you for about 6 months then you’d want something more. Don’t get trapped in materialism
Older DB9's arent that expensive actually.
BCSD syndrome ...drive a yaris instead 👍
You’re gonna gloss over that Ford focus st 😂
I have done the coils and throttle body on my one, just need to do the harness 😢
That’s my job for tomorrow. I think I know how to do it! But obvs a video coming soon.
If u can do the harness, u can do coils harness, the harded part is getting the coils out and putting them back in, not much room to do it, theirs 4 nuts U need to take off on top of the in let, when u have them off they should drop out
How did u get on with the coil harness?
@@leslieleonard699 I've got it fitted and it appears to have made the difference - along with the refurbished wiring in the throttle body. most of the lumpiness has gone and it's no longer stalling. So that's good. It wasn't too hard to swap over either. The video is coming out in a couple of weeks. How are you getting on?
@@leslieleonard699 Not to bad - and it all appears to have worked. Video coming in a couple of weeks, How are you getting on?
Part 6 IAM watching
Part 6 coming in a couple of weeks.

Damn, a C6 Grand Sport
Yeah me too, i want one also 🤑
How did u do the loom that goes behind the bulkhead? That goes to your Maf??? Been trying to work that out?????
There are some plastic flower shaped screws in the bulkhead soundproofing. Thanks these out and the rubber stripping along the top off. Then the soundproofing should come away from the bulkhead giving you space to feed that wire along, and also to get the loom through from the battery into the engine bay. You don’t need to cut anything!
Thank U I was looking at them screws, thinking it may be the way to do it PS I need to have a good look at my Harness make sure I have the Right one
@@leslieleonard699 I tried to lay out the new one and the old one to check them side by side. Then realised k was missing a connector! So had to return the new one and send my old one off to be refurbished.
I see I hope I don't have the same problem 😃 I got my Harness and coil Harness from a company in Germany called Kurth classic Auto parts, the coil Harness was grand and fitted, so I hope the Eng harness does the same, still not sure if I will have a go at it my self, might get a Mercedes guy to do it for around 300 euro, PS I got my Throttle body rebuild off a guy in Belgium called Kay DL he's on face book, have been getting parts off him for some years, his parts are 💯
Hi u doing did u put part 6 up yet??? Would it be possible to talk to on the phone??? About doing my harnes?
I hope my loom fits 😆
Great videos u might need to do the Throttle body as well, and the coil hardness, i have 95 E220 my self , I have done the throttle body and coil harness, i have the eng harness there but have done yet, hoping to learn something from your videos 😆
I’ve got the coil harness on order and sileck.co.uk are doing my throttle body wiring too. They did the harness. So part 6 will be coming along before too long!
Look forward to seen part 6
Hi I got a bit worried when U said your Harness at first diding fit and U had to send back? So I just checked checked my new one like U said put across the eng Bay? Still not sure where every thing goes? So I checked the part number of the harness that's on the car, and it matches the same part number on my new one? So I should be ok then ye ye ye????
@@leslieleonard699 If you've checked the part number you should be fine! I didn't until it was too late. But I was luckily able to get my old one refurbished. And i found working from back to front made most sense in fitting the wires and connectors in.
So when fiting wires, did U start from the ECU ba

The Sukura is the electric version of this car. Too bad Nissan doesn't sell this car outside Japan as an electric only vehicle.
I think kei cars sold in other countries would do well.
I’d love one. They’re cheap to import individually but almost impossible to insure in the UK.
I’ve ended up looking on car import websites almost daily for a kei car now. Or a kei truck. I’d love something. And they make so much sense - small and cheap to run. Hadn’t thought about the insurance though…
Reference speaker?
I’ll be revisiting this soon, so will have something for you then.
I love it
Lovely 😊

YES, THIS IS THE POLE
Love those things! Big scene for them tuning wise over there too. Roomy and zoomy!
Cheers for the vid dude. My rear shocks were leaking oil. New shocks are around £130 but managed to find a mx5 breakers near by and got 2 complete struts for £10 each. The springs on mine were better, so I swapped them over. I managed to get the struts off and back on with a little difficulty but didn’t need to take any bars off. A bit of wiggling between the bars and they do come off and go back on without stripping anything else off if your nuts are as rusty as mine were. Car handles like a go cart again 😂 with no knocking noises. Time to save up for a complete set of new struts.
You’re a better mechanic than me if you were able to get it out without moving other bits!
Rough and ready more like 😂. The car is 20yrs old, all fittings are so rusty and most nuts I’ve undone in the past just round off due to the condition of them. It would be like opening a can of worms undoing more things on mine and creating more work. It was tricky but perseverance is the key.
I have one wiper also have you noticed the M the wipers make when the screen is wet
I have. It’s the jiggle in the middle! Do wish there was an easy way to make it park up in the centre of the screen - full DTM spec.
Unleaded..benz
Modern Mercedes’ still have that aswell!
