It certainly changes the look and must improve the handling. I hope you've taken advantage of the opportunity and changed the shocks and bushes. It can make an amazing difference. I had a 1973 W116 280SE with new Bilsteins and the car handled superbly when driven aggressively.
Anyway, here's a pick of my 6.9. It actually appeated in Practical Classics in the April 2003 issue. Fuel consumption is irrelevant really but I did average 16 mpg on a spirited A-road drive to Devon last weekend. Better than a Jag V12. It's not the kind of car one drives every day so fuel economy is of secondary importance. Adam
