27 years later I own a gen-1 again.
My first RX first fell victim to a home security alarm company’s patrol officer responding to an alarm in 1985. This dam woman ran a stop sign in a blind intersection and creamed my dark grey 1983 beauty. On a side note I remember her last name was Stout, which actually suited her looks well but leaves me conflicted over my love of Guinness. I always figured I would have another and it seems someday is today in this case.
The buy was all impulse, beer in one hand ebay in the other not my usual M.O. but it’s not like I was buying a 280SL pagoda. The car appears to be perfect shape, look here, and is represented to be in “drive it home” condition. I know should have had pre-purchase inspection, might have over paid, should have waited for a private seller car with solid records and so on. Critiques of my actions could be many but life is short and that ship has sailed.
Anyway Hello All!

in the one picture of the under body there's an oil spot on the ground. It maybe from a different car, but check the oil lines going into the bee hive oil cooler on the drivers side, guessing there is a leak over there.
good luck with the car, looks great!
