I enjoy hearing stories of cars "staying on the forum" even as they change hands among owners
That car looks super clean, I bet you will be amazed at the power compared to your TR3, LOL
I wouldn't bother with changing the oil after sitting in the garage over a winter. Oil wouldn't "go bad" in any way, in that short length of time. As soon as you start driving the car, any moisture will evaporate out of the engine once it reaches operating temp.
This forum is a great place to come for information about old Benz's and a good way to meet other enthusiasts as well. Welcome aboard.
