Use 1:100 (1%) two stroke oil in your tank to prevent tank and engine corrosion if you use the modern aggressive fuel that contain 5-10% methanol (not good for the old engine and fuel system materials!)
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Sports Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!
Love the old 2.8's i used to have a 2.8 xr4.. great car but performance is not upto todays standards, had a vectra gsi after it but it never sounded as nice as the old cologne v6 altho it was a lot quicker... currently driving a v6 mitsubishi fto gpx... you should hear a v6 at 8000rpm its awesome :)
this car is standard

@gtbloke The performance is not bad really, 0.60 in 7.9 is quite good, 140mph top speed, not bad!

@wackosammy Yeah,when these cars first came out in 1981,the performance figures were bloody brilliant! still good even now.

@wackosammy Top wack 127 mph actually. The 130 Mph figure was marketing BS, sounded better than 127 Mph. Turbo's are good for 140+
