SL60 ownership pitfalls?

[HMR]

I am considering the aquisition of an SL60. The motivation is the middle aged need for a (fast) weekend toy which ideally should be an appreciating asset.
What common faults/ pitfalls should I look out for?
Any comments gratefully received!

Just make sure that everything works, they were good cars, I do not think that there is anything special to look out for

Isn't there something about misfires? Coil packs at a grand apiece? Or, as usual, am I talking poop!

Personally, I'd go for the V8 over the V12 but then I may be biased.....

ADS is the big one.

I agree it could be, but we have Richard Moakes who has now solved many when this fails, but some do not go wrong

ADS was not standard in 60's.

Your biggest problem will be in finding one, there are not that many about.
