Maybe have a look at getting a rear window blind (or whatever its called).





They are fairly common on 164 s, 140 s and 240 s here in Australia.
Our red 164E has the black style and it suits very well. The kids feel the difference in the backseats between the 2 cars and they complain whenever we are driving the 144s on a hot sunny day with the sun on their backs.

If your car ever pings, give fuel additive a trail (we use 98 as well, but the area where we get it, the quality aint that great).
Hi Michael. Yes we are using a FlashLube Valve Saver System to feed upper cylinder lubricant into the carby automatically and the 98. Seems to be running really smoothly. I've heard that there can be a lot of difference where you buy your fuel but so far (fingers crossed) we've been lucky. Are the three cars in the pics yours or just sourced from the net? I think I prefer the old fashioned venetians on the inside. We wouldn't mind trying to get hold of a towbar one day; just for a trailer though.Do you get to any swapmeets or rallies? Thanks for your advice.
