230SL Cold Starting

John has made and fitted new down pipes to our 1964 Mercedes 230SL. This is because the old ones had to be cut off as they had seized. New baulk head sound deadening was fitted before John investigated the non-starting issue. He went through the wiring and traced the fault to the timer relay on the inner wing. He adjusted the gear linkage and inhibitor switch so the car starts in the correct lever position.
