The 129 SL 500 came with 2 different V8s, the first was from early 90s until late 98, when the 3 valve, twin spark V8 (still in use) was used instead.

I have had short drives in both versions, and it struck me that the older V8 was more responsive, as the pickup is that little bit quicker.

Which is the better engine in terms of performance and durability?
