I have to agree with MB Doc. However, put me down for a 1972 280SE Convertible. I would settle for the 2.8 six as well.

I wouldn't say my 1972 280se was better built than say our current 124's.

The big difference for me is electronics. I don't like them and don't understand them. I can keep our cars on the road for a long time since almost everything just bolts and unbolts.

Some jobs are time consuming like water pumps and A/C, but still very do-able.

And almost everything makes logical sense....with the exception of the belt tensioner.

I am sure however that a newer Mercedes is a better ride.
