Funny, my "Post Message" window does not include any such row of icons.

I will try to put together a set of pics that can go in an email.

You can add pics here in the text, but limited seize ....

Then use the marked button as shown in the picture .....

Easiest is send some per Email

Yes, I have owned it since around 14 years, almost the same time as I have been a member of the M100 Forum. The previous owner imported the car to Sweden some 4 years earlier.

I have a large number of high resolution pics (not suitable for email) and also a modest number of lower resolution pics.

I have also produced a written documentation of the known history of the car, this may be of limited interest to club members but I can make it available anyway.

After the most recent upgrades of the M100 website I cannot find howto upload pics of my car so I will appreciate tips on how pics can be delivered or uploaded.

In augustus 1969 the US compression reduction to 8:1 (first on VIN 109.018-12-002840 misses around 32 HP . Recognizable by the missing vaccuum advance/retarding for the ignition and the so called "black boxes" Since then the later mounted "foglight-style" blinkers .

On and Since Vin 003548 were no longer ventilated brake-discs mounted .

Since Vin 004921 velours interior now only in 9xx (piping-style) and before only in 7xx clubsessel design 

Since VIN 006095 all cars with high compressionratio were reduced to 8.8:1

LHD : 5824 and RHD : 702

In my registery ( so far ) : LHD 2583 and RHD 215 ......

BTW which Vin do you have ????

I am interested in the production at Stuttgart of the 6.3. We all know the total number of vehicles built, but how did the production numbers develop over the years from 1968 through to 1972 ?

I am also curious about the VIN breaking point when the cars were no longer equipped with ventilated discs in the rear. No big deal, just curiosity :)
