Mark, great information, I am in the market for a 380SL , road tested one the other day was surprised how well it smoothly and steadily accelerated , not disappointed at all with its pickup , think they are a good solid nostalgic car .
I purchased my '85 380 SL w/ 72,000 miles from a friend for $3500 in running condition. It had the high idle issue and he didn't want to work on it. I knew nothing about Mercedes at the time but was capable of turning wrenches. $325 for a new idle controller and I was off and running. I absolutely love my mb and it garners attention wherever it goes but it could be too expensive to maintain if you did not work on it yourself
Yea well try to manually put the top down manually on a r129 lol.. but you say r129 has a power too yea but 90 percent don’t work rather have a manuall top
