1st & 2nd Generation Mercedes Sport Leicht SLs
One of the cars I'd love to add someday is a 1st or 2nd generation SL. Not a museum or trailer queen but a driver in great shape. Maybe in the next 3-5 years I'll get serious and look to purchase. In the meantime, my lust for these is beginning to grow. It started with seeing a 1st gen trailer queen at a show 2 years back a '60 I think and a 2nd gen '71 driver at a car show this fall.
Anyone have experience with these cars that is willing to share some insight on ownership, parts availability idosyncrocies etc?

no personal experience, but the good thing is you can get factory replacement parts for pretty much any mercedes if you've got the money. They'll even custom hand build the part new, whether it be a simple part or making a new casting. They even have a special shop you can send a total p.o.s. to for a full factory off restoration no matter the age.
