1975 450 SL v8
1975 450 SL, with 125,000 miles. Bought from a lady on Vancouver Island. This has been my dream car since I was 16.
Intended to drive back to Eastern Ontario through the Rockies..... unfortunately, only made it to Kamloops before car overheated. Thank God for CAA!
Garage there did some work on her, but highly recommended to have car transported to Ottawa. Took awhile, but she arrived before the snow did. Spent the winter in garage. However, we now figure there may have a head gasket issue.
All to say, looking for a MB mechanic with experience on older models.
Any recommendations?
