Mercedes Adenauer 300 Brake Drums on 2040-parts.com
Norfolk, Virginia, US
Please contact me before placing an order for these drums! They came off a late 1951 or early 1952 Mercedes Adenauer 300. They are more narrow than the drums on my 1954 Adenauer, and absolutely will NOT fit the 300b and 300c/300dcars. There appears to be little wear on the inside, but I have not checked them with a micrometer, and do not have the correct tolerance.
These would be a good find for someone who has an early car and wants backup drums , or who has an early car which was modified for the later drums, and wants to go back to the original.
Please note that I also have the correct matching hubs and backing plates for sale which have little wear..

Commentary: Victoria Beckham appointed Creative Design Executive at Range Rover
Fri, 09 Jul 2010On hearing that Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) had become Range Rover's Creative Design Executive last week, initial reaction was to check the date – was it April 1st? Apparently Land Rover wasn't fooling anybody, instead sending shockwaves through the automotive industry with the announcement, made at the unveiling of the Evoque at Kensington Palace, London. Celebrity brand tie-ups are nothing new – Justin Timberlake is currently the Audi A1's brand ambassador – yet the implication is that Beckham's involvement with Range Rover will go much further.
Honda Civic saloon, coupe at the 2011 Detroit show
Mon, 10 Jan 2011Honda showed off two new Civics at the NAIAS 2011: the Civic Si Concept Coupe and the Civic Concept Saloon. They're sadly US-market only, rather than related to the European spec models, themselves up for replacement at the end of 2011. Although 'concepts', these two effectively show what will roll into US showrooms in spring 2011. The blurb is pretty strict on the difference between the American and Euro Civics: 'The Civic Si coupe and saloon Concepts are US-only design and will not be sold in the UK.
MINI Coupe Concept Photo Image Gallery +Video
Wed, 26 Aug 2009The MINI Coupe Concept photo gallery and video Well, BMW has gone a bit berserk on the photos they’ve sent us – plus a video of the Coupe – so we thought it was probably sensible to put this lot up separately from the main story and press release. It seems highly unlikely that with this much effort the MINI Coupe is going to stay a concept for very long. For us, it is the first sensible extension of the whole MINI concept and should be a big seller – but it won’t be cheap – think in the region of £30k.
