Should I swap?

[MarkNRose]

Hello there,

I'm new to the forum and was looking for a bit of advice.

I currently drive a W123 230E every day. Doing approx 400 miles per week.
I've driven loads of classics from many manufactureres, for many years but keep coming back to W123's as all the others seem too fragile/temperamental.

I have the chance to buy what looks like a very good 1983 380 SL and wondered if the running costs and practicality would be much different to that I already have.

Does Anyone have any experience of running an SL as a daily motor.

Cheers

Mark
