Even though all my other MBs are diesels except the 1953 220, I just bought a 1983 380SL today, to make sure it wasn't molested.

It may have some electical and fuel issues.

I'm very open to the R107 specialists on this forum for their wisdom on what I should do next. I'll be getting the car out of the current owner's hands in about a week.

What to check/buy first?

What about manuals vs CDs?

What are the weaknesses?

I await your wisdom...
