Hi folks,
I am the very proud owner of a 1991 560SEL, however, my dream car has always been the 450SL. My boss has a 1980 450SL with approx 100K miles on it. I have not seen it yet it but am told it is very clean and in excellent shape. It has been garaged for a number of years and only run occasionally. (started onece a month or so and driven around the block.)

I got very good tips of what to look for on these forums when I bought my 560, I am now asking for help from you guys in telling me what to look for in the SL's. Any particular maintenance or service issues with this model?

The boss says he has a new soft top and he also has the hard top. He has had a couple of rust spots completely repaired. We are in the deep south so rust does happen with the salty air. I am going to look at it in the next few days. Any information and suggestions would be much appreciated.
