SL Newbie
This is one of my first visits to the SL section of this site. I have quite a bit of experience with the diesel powered W123 body cars, but am new to the gasser and SL world of Mercedes and am looking to buy a R107 for my Mother.
I have seen every thing from a 280SL to a 450SL for sale around here. What engine would be most desirable from a reliability standpoint? Are earlier cars more reliable because of less emissions equipment? What are the common issues with this body? I have seen some mention of a subframe recall, what should I look for regarding this? What are the rust prone areas I should check? Any advice and tips would be appreciated. Thank you.
