Thought I'd follow up with the following updates and pictures. (Any advice is more than welcome)
I decided to take the car to AutoMerc in North London. They are very expensive but have a decent reputation. As such, I'm addressing the following with them given their expertise with vintage Benz cars:
1) Replace Front suspension arm ball joints and realign wheels
2) Replace a corroded copper brake pipe + bleed and renew brake fluid
3) Rear window not working (repair or replace motor)
4) Repair Speedometer Wobble - first by lubricating the wire or replacing it
5) Replace left and right rear anti-roll bar link rods
6) Replace rear exhaust silencer with mountings with OEM supplier
7) Inspect loose air filter housing + replace air filter
8) Replace Power steering fluid + filter
I've been quote over 1300 quid for all 8 items. Once these are done, the car will need the following:
1) Waxoyl treatment
2) New tires (I've been quote 300 quid for a set of Michelin's installed and balanced by AA)
3) Installation of the Hood Insulation
4) Repair of the A/C compressor ( clutch currently seized - Automerc wants to me to convert to R134a but Im looking for an R24 specialist )
Any suggestions/ garage recommendations are welcome
