forgive my personal opinion
I would like to assure you those gorgeous mercedes would be quite reliable once you freshen it and identify all the problems.
These problem is only natural due to its age and mileage so we should expect that.
I am not into vintage but for me personally the feeling is similar:
Seeing those beautiful vintage car vs modern car
to
seeing Vintage Watch with its warmth and patina (PP, Rolex, Omega, JLC, Heuer etc) vs Modern Watch which is still surgically sterile smooth and exudes individualism in its pricing.
I personally can not handle the frustation of breakdown or unauthenticity so
IMHO at the end I would have to set the limit of passion to vintage,for each specific brand, what year, what model.
So far I live with the Germans and the Japanese, although I am madly deeply passionately in love with Italian (Alfa, Lancia, few vintage Ferrari, maybe one or two Lambo).
The rest British and American I will just do one night stand at most.
Interestingly my grail would be a marriage of German be it with British or Italian (Mclaren F1 and Pagani)
