Hi,
I recently had a post about buying advice on a 300 SL 1992. I bought it! It will now compete with my 1982 380 SL on usage :grin
The car is very well maintained, with the following option codes from the factory:
- Black leather interior and "Blue-Black" metallic
- Sports steering wheel
- Draft deflector
- Airbag front passenger
- Auto transmission
- Cruise control (not working, must look into)
- Stereo + aut antenna
- Air condition
- Heat insulated glass
- headlamp washer
- 8 hole rims
- Heated seats
The M103 is sweet and gives enough cruising speed for me. I know a 500 SL is another beast, but pricey.
Only known issue besides a non working CC is that the the vacuum operated locks on the door pocket lids don't work on both sides. The pump in the trunk is therefore engaging every 10 sec or so for a few seconds to keep up vacuum pressure. I will pull my vacuum gauge and check, and tee it off for the time being. Pulling the door panels to check further will have to wait. Now I want to enjoy it!
Cheers
