I originaly posted this in the R107 forum but as the 280SL was'nt a popular engine in most markets I thought Il'd ask you guys;

After looking at several of the 6-cyl SLs I've finaly found a mint, very low mileage 280SL with full dealer history.
However I did originaly want a 300SL mainly for fuel consumpsion so I'm wondering how far apart in terms of Urban/City MPG are the two?

Also more importantly can a '84 280SL run on unleaded fuel and will it be okay with 95 or will I have to use Shell higher Octane Opti-slurp or similar.

  3. MMO soak duration

    W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE Class
    I'm planning on doing an MMO soak to see if it will help the smoke coming out of my crankcase. There was no blowby when she was parked two years ago. My understanding is that could be a stuck piston ring which is the primary use case for MMO. I'm taking my Jeep to Moab for a week and a half...

    W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE Class
    How did I come to be the owner of this 1985 300CD? Having owned a W201, 2 W124s and a W126 300SD I had read and heard so much about the W123 cars that I knew this would be the next Benz for me. I knew right from the start that it would have to be the coupe body style. I wanted something a bit...
