450SLC – ready for another year

The 450SLC spent the last two days at Arthur Rizzo Motors getting ready for the next year on the road.   The car was hesitating a bit, and not idling quite right, but a new set of plugs seems to have fixed that. (#1 was a bit coked up).    The steering was feeling a bit floppy – so a new tie rod end has somewhat improved it, although at some point I’m going to need to have the steering box removed and resealed as there is no more adjustment left in mine and there is a slight leak.   At 288,000 this is not very surprising!
