Auxillary Fan Question 72 450SL

My manual states that it should come on at 212 degrees F
but mine cranks up at about 175 degrees. I am beginning to think my temp gauge is off or my senders are bad, before I start replacing willy nilly I thought I would ask who has been there done that
Basically, temp gauge stays steady at 175-180 degrees , fan comes on when she gets near top temp ( 175-80) so basically it runs alot. Of course it is bloody hot here, I am not running AC, I prefer top down.
any ideas? perhaps just normal for 35 year old car????
