Advice please, I've just sold my 94 SL R129 but still looking for some convertible fun.
Lower end of the market £5k ish although could go up to 10k. It'll be kept on the drive in the open, not adverse to doing some jobs myself. And because dogs, daily, crappy roads and tracks, i don't want or need an immaculate example. Probably less than 5k p.a,

I've never driven one so important things to.me.

Rear seat width for 2 dogs, one medium one small.
Wafty refinement
Solid feeling.
Quiet (I'm a dab hand at chasing sqeaks and rattles)
Ground clearance
Lack of bork potential
I'd rather have petrol auto but not essential.
Reasonable RFL cost.

Which model earlier cloth roof or later tintop? Any other advice or should i just stay clear?
