It looks like a very nice car.

They are built really well. My 84 500sec was very inexpensive to keep running.

Always depress the gas pedal about 1/4 on start up. Don't get excited if it runs a little rough when it first starts up. I chased that with five or six hundred dollars in repairs that never did a bit of good and it never got better or worse. Use a good injection cleaner every couple of months.

Drive it a lot.

Enjoy.

If you are near here I want to come see it sometime.....with your permission.

That brown used to be my favorite color of benz.

Clean and treat your leather often to keep it supple.
