Even I knew that - from bitter experience.
We drove the 1973 280 all the way from D.C. to Cincinnati. As we got off
the interstate, the oil pressure dropped precipitously. I reached into the
glove box and frantically called one of the Friends of MBCA listed in the
booklet that the Club handed
I read the manual on my 450SL (D-jet) and it said that a drop to half bar at
idle was standard (when new). AS long as pressure returns to 3 bar when you
drive, all is well.

Yes, what MMM said - pegging the gauge is the more important test than the
idle pressure in an MB engine.

What, you don't like headrests?
As for the oil pressure...I'd be more worried if it doesn't pin when
revved.

The M117 engine is very robust, and will run a LONG time with the oil
pressure at that level. I didn't see much drop at all with 105F days and
A/C running in the M117 in the '78 450SLC. The oil pressure is not an
issue, at all.

In theory, yes, its in spec, but for how much longer? And what happens
when its 105 outside and you have the AC on?

The oil pressure is probably not a problem, looks like it's in spec to me. I
hate it when people redo the seats with crappy aftermarket generic upholstery.
I would rather have worn out original.

Due to lack of a sunroof this may sell at a reasonable price.
