Ha ha - 300D in a 380SL would be the slowest MB sports in the US / ROW!
Seriously you will like the SL as they are great cruisers.
One odd problem I had on mine was that the return to the fuel tank blocks up and the fuel pressure builds up and 'overchokes' the motor.
Here is a good explanation from a W113 (which is the same inside the tank).
Pagoda SL Group Technical Manual :: Fuel / Tank
I also used best quality NGK sparkplugs in mine - as we know from 911 experience, Bosch plugs have lost their quality.
