Been looking at these for quite a while now and for some reason fancy getting one as a daily, they are silly cheap now and with classic insurance fook all for that!

Has anyone had any experience with these, which ones to walk away from etc, I presume being an original 'proper' merc the engines/boxes last forever etc. I'm aware that the rear arches rot like fook but thats about it! Not really after a cosworth one as they hold their money still, im talking about a 500/1000 smoker!!
