Hello,
Newbie to the group but have owned a Mercedes in the past (W123 280E) On Monday I am going to look at the following
300 SL 87 D registration Automatic Signal Red Sadle beige Leather 83,000 miles waranted (full serivice history) all paperwork Just serivicedAnything particular to look out for with this model, sounds pretty nice so far. I guess the timing chain should last for a lot longer or will be noisy if it need doing. Have also heard about some head gasket failures with this engine, is this common ?
Any advice most welcome, Thanks in advance
Ben
