Could not agree more about preference for the 110 280 SL. I looked for a long time before finding a good one . Much more nimble than the heavier Iron V8s, and not giving anything in performance to the 380s . Recent brim to brim fuel test returned 27 MPG . Mixed freeway and light suburban traffic. Odo accuracy checked against late model C Class. I also had a 380 SL bought new in 1982,, smooth engine used mostly interstate running ( before Speed Cameras ) Started to blow smoke at 40K, and 18 months old, so I got rid of it.
