Will be at least as reliable as any Morgan😉


Go for the updated version from '85 onwards, they had a galvanised chassis, better steering and suffer less from the rusty firewall that can plague the earlier model .Later models denoted by the front bib and flat face alloys, great car (300SL, 420SL , 500SL and 560SL). Had a 420SL for many years., scheduled maintenance is more demanding compared with modern Mercs and can be a bit intensive cost wise but absolutely beautiful solid cars cut from granite.
