A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Mercedes 300SL, 190SL and Pagoda SL were already legends, while still in production. This has not changed until today. Names like “Gullwing” or “Pagoda” are forever associated with the SL name. Both cars are the foundation on which every new SL rests today. And the SLK traces its roots back to the 190SL, the car that convinced management in the 1950s that the SL story was worth to be developed. Updated in November 2017, this 270-page book gives you all the facts about the SL cars from the 1950s and 1960s. It is one of over twenty-five books/e-books by the author about Mercedes cars. And these are some of the topics covered:·The time that made the 300SL possible·Development of the 300SL Coupe·The 300SL Coupe·The secret SLS·Development of the 300SL Roadster·The racing history·Two famous SL owners·Development of the 190SL ·The 190SL·A larger engine is needed·The racing history·Driving a 190SL turbo in 1959·Development of the 230SL·The 230SL·The 250SL·The 280SL·The coachbuilders·The in-house conversions·How the pagoda SL was seen by its owners in the 1960s ·The racing history·Chassis number and data card explained·W121, W113 buyer’s guide·Technical specifications
Enjoy!

Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with some 200 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 80 (or the corresponding amount in £ or €), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding.

The 300SL, the 190SL and the pagoda SL were already legends, when still in production. That has not changed till today. Names like “Gullwing” or “Pagoda” are forever associated with the SL name.

And the SLK traces its roots back to the 190SL, the car that convinced management in the 1950s that the SL story was worth to be developed further.

This reference book covers the complete history of all three versions, discusses a one of a kind 300SL roadster and comes with recent non-Daimler AG color photography. If you want to know more about these iconic Mercedes cars, then this book is for you.
