The W111 has stopped manufactured since 1968. Hence, most of the parts will not be able to obtain in brand new condition. If you are lucky enough, you may still get the 'Old New Stock' from the spare parts shop located in rural area.
Based on my findings, both W111 and W110 are sharing most of their parts with each other. Thus, i could still source for W110 parts for my W111. Apparently, W110 can still be seen in Kelantan and mostly are still using as a taxi. However, most of these W110 swapped to modern engine. I will definitely want to go up to Kelantan to source for the parts one day.
Apart from that, i planned to source the parts locally. Some recommended to check out Automatic Motor Sdn Bhd, and also King Yip Motor Sdn Bhd as they may still keeping some 'Old New stock'. Of course, I could still source the parts via Internet. I'm sure i will be able to get some parts all over the world. Wish me good luck for this! Lol...
Meanwhile, i am still hesitating which engine i should get for my W111. Some recommended to go for W114, W116/W126 as these engines are built with in-line 6, similar to the original engine equipped in my W111, and some recommended to fit in W124 fuel injection engine! Aaaarghh... more studies required for now!
