THATS CRAZY JON, THEY WERE FITTED TO 383 N SP JENSENS JUST A YORK COMPRESSOR
It`s one of those things that the internet has killed off ... knowing what bits you can get cheap and sell high. Pretty sure it was this one that John Haynes restored. Compressor is common it is the indoor bit that is rare. http://www.johnhaynesmercedes.co.uk/res ... 600-detail

Just caught up on this thread.
These ocean liners aren't really my thing and the pic of a shiny one you put did nothing for me but the pic of yours side on, in all it's rusting glory is something else Jem!
It does look stunning and I wouldn't change a thing. Congratulations on finding your dream car :thumbright:
