Hi, is it correct that the abc suspension is more reliable on the 2nd generation cars?
Also if anyone knows of a collector quality example I am looking to buy one

Yes it is, though you can also convert them to a standard coil setup which many do for maintenance ease.

Be aware some parts can be difficult to source, I heard for example one comment of an owner stating rear bushings MB didn't sell anymore.

With all SL's it seems provided they're driven regularly they're generally nothing extraordinary, most of the issues are related to being left standing and the usual battery related issues.

Don’t get the ABC removed, just get it repaired.

This guy does a smashing job with the R230 SLs.
