Designated the BJ8 the Mk.3 was the last and most powerful of the big Healey's with walnut veneer dash. wind up windows.
The engine had a revised cam shaft, valve springs and twin SU 2" carburettors, together with a redesigned exhaust system all of which raised power to 150 bhp. Servo assisted brakes were now standard. Unlike the earlier version only a 2+2 seater was available.
In May 1964 a modified chassis was introduced to increase ground clearance and in March 1965 indicators were added

A fire in a San Jose recycling facility went to three alarms, May 2, 2013. The fire got into large bales of cardboard and other recycling material, and presented fire fighters with several challenges. After about 6 hours the fire was under control, although fire crews remained on scene overnight pulling apart bales of cardboard to extinguish all the smoldering debris.
San Jose Engine 3 is a 2012 Hi-Tech build on a Spartan Gladiator chassis.

Hand built during 1970 in Stuttgart, Germany this 3.5 litre V8 engined Mercedes 300SEL was a remarkable car in its day. The self levelling air suspension meant that this car handled like a boat, smoothening out all the bumps on the road, but simultaneously making the maneuverability a cautious exercise - the suspension was a delicate mechanism. I always felt during aggressive turns that the body would snap off the chassis if I turned really hard. Not to mention the problem of the huge amount understeering from the wheel.
The engine itself was a powerhouse. Even with the bonnet closed, the 175ºC heat would be seething into the cabin. A lady friend of mine burnt her little toe when she unknowingly placed it on a part of the passenger floor. The air conditioning never worked and the car smoked just as much as Dad did. With an automatic gearbox the fastest I ever did with this was about 140km/h on the M2 (don't tell anyone)- I would have loved to take it to about 180km/h+ but never had the guts to do it. I know this car will kill me the moment that I think that it can do what I want it to do. You see this car drives YOU. She decides how fast she wants to go and you simply get in sit down and shut up. But when you get confident and start thinking that your able to take over the driving experience she gets very angry VERY QUICKLY. I've never estimated her ability to punch a hole through a concrete wall, but if I were to estimate, I'd say that I'd still be under-estimating!
The comfort in this car was unreal. We had the leather seats replaced and upholstered with new leather from cows from Santa Monica, California (I don't know why they had to be imported) but the quality was superb. It was like sitting on the world's fastest leather couch.
What attracts me to this car is how the designers incorporated the vertical headlight configuration to the classic Mercedes grill. When I look at other 300SELs on the street and see the singular headlight, I laugh because it looks so ugly- like someone wearing oversized goofy glasses. The vertical configuration looks so sophisticated and elegant. Looking at horizontal head lamps on other cars is so boring and urbane, I'm really glad that Mercedes did the vertical on the 300SEL -it's so pretty.
The proportions of the car, I feel are spot on. Being 20cm longer than the 280 (the 300SEL's poor gimpy cousin) the passenger rear windows are elongated and clear - perfect for a princess to be waving out of at plebs who couldn't afford such classic motoring . The rounded front and rear windows flowed with the cabin shape adding to the aerodynamic profile and aesthetic simplicity.
The doors as well had a lovely supple weight to them - they were heavy and felt strong. They curved also, and made the archytypal door closing sound. I'd learn to appreciate this sound often, because the engine was so unreliable that I'd be getting in and out of it to open the bonnet to figure out what was wrong.
Here, me and my Dad spend an afternoon cleaning the Mercedes, shining and polishing, drying and air blowing to a nice reflective finish.
Currently the head gasket in the engine has eroded and a few other components need fixing, not to mention that the transmission needs to be replaced.

The steam train "461" doing its annual trip to Wicklow, a lovely old engine and such a pleasure to see, I love to hear the whistle blow as it passes by.
Engine 1 pumps from its deluge gun during a Driver-Operator training course.
The Arkansas Fire Training Academy in East Camden, Arkansas maintains a fleet of three pumpers. Engine 1 is a 1988 Pierce Lance equipped with a single-stage 1,250 gpm Waterous pump and seating for ten personnel. It was purchased in 2010 after a tornado, which struck the AFTA campus on October 29, 2009, damaged existing apparatus beyond repair.
Here are a few pics of an engine casualty we had a while back. We spun a couple of main bearings (which then fried and melted to the crank and rods) and broke the oil pump. One of the pistons overheated and caused the liner o-rings to fail, which then flooded the crankcase with coolant.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are visiting Strange Places. I never thought I'd see a musician in the engine compartment of a Ford Focus, though we do live in strange times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cobb's Engine House (properly known as Windmill End Pumping Station) in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England, is a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade II listed building built around 1831.[1] It housed a stationary steam pump used to pump water firstly from Windmill End Colliery and later other mines in the area. Utilizing a shaft 525 feet deep, 1,600,000 litres of water were pumped from the mines into the canal daily.[2] It ceased work in 1928 and the Newcomen type engine was moved to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan in 1930.[3]
It stands near Windmill End Junction in the Warren's Hall local nature reserve, where the Dudley No. 2 Canal and the Boshboil Arm meets the southern end of the Netherton Tunnel Branch Canal. The area came into the possession of Sir Horace St.Paul from his father-in-law, John Ward, 2nd Viscount Dudley and Ward, on his marriage to John's daughter Anna Maria Ward.[4] It was Horace who instigated the construction of the engine house.
visible: Skunk 2 polished aluminum strut tower bar, samco sport hose kit, TEIN EDFC terminals on the the ends of the TEIN Flex coilovers, NGK performance spark plug wires, Optima battery. I installed the Optima battery after the previous one died...supposedly there was a short in the EDFC that might have caused the battery to drain. TEIN repaired the EDFC but I'm still having issues with it, but have been too busy to deal with it for now.
