I have owned a 1984 380SL for about a year (50,000 miles and totally original) and I have had great summer driving times in this machine.

I have always favoured original condition cars over restored versions. However when following the recent Barrett-Jackson auctions on the Speed Channel it seemed to me that the restored cars were attracting the most attention.

I am very interested to know where members of this forum stand on this question. Which would you prefer?
