Do they go wrong much

Just want it for play & play days & restoration plus a possible future investment

I think the reliability is age related, old things go wrong more often (generaly speaking) but with alll the hydraulics and unusual parts it can be a bit of a pain. He has his own mobile mechanic in a fully equipped sprinter on call 24/7 for his repairs, so cost is not an problem and he does give it some stick!

I would only consider it if you can easily afford it as otherwise you might be buying a 'hole in your pocket' spend your money one somthing more practical.

It is very tempting though
