Thumbs up

Make sure the timing chain guide rails have been done.

Despite the low miles, most if not all of the rubber is going to be bad on the car. Hopefully the intake manifold has been resealed, that is a trouble spot on the M116/7s. I am doing this currently on the 560.

I really like 420s for the money. Less crap to fail than the 560, far more power than the 300SEL, and decent fuel economy.

Enjoy it!
