Newbie wanting advice on purchase...

Hi all! I'm a vintage Bimmer owner but have always loved the MB roadsters (W107). I'm looking at an '81 380SL with 64K orig. miles. Supposedly. It looks to be in pristine shape but haven't driven it yet. I've done a little research and have read that that particular engine could be prone to timing chain problems, etc., and isn't the first choice in W107's. Should I forget about that one and look for a better year? If not, what types of common problems should I be looking for on that particular model? Thanks for the help!

Howard
