I was hoping that they did 4 speed auto conversions, so i was told, but they never replied to my Email. looking at their site i think you will have better luck in what you want

Franz from Big Toys is a great guy, and well up in the world of M100 cars - especialy 6.3's. I am sure he would be able to do a gas conversion, but I think there are plenty of companies out there that can do this. Wasn't there a rebate system in place for gas conversions ?

thanks everyone i have spoken to Franz the man is a wealth of knowledge will take a trip to Sydney early in the new year to get all the work done haven't spoken to any mechanic in Brisbane who has any passion for the old mercs anybody know of one?PS looking forward to getting back behind the wheel

In the event you get the conversion done please do let us know how it went, especially if you get it done by Big Toys 

My next holiday is to go East in the Mercedes for my birthday and may well look at a conversion if we still get the rebate. To fill my tank with Premium in the country during the recent high oil prices cost me $185.00, and no change was given
