Opis

The 300SL, the 190SL and the pagoda SL were already legends, when 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 still 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 further. This 240-page book gives you all the facts about the SL cars from the 1950s and 1960s. With it you will also receive as bonus one of the author's 23 Mercedes e-books as a free pdf file. These are some of the topics covered:

you will read about the development and history of the W198, W121 and W113, all upgrades included

if there is a one of a kind pre-production 300SL roadster , it has to be the one that is written about in this book

have you ever heard about a turbocharged 190SL ? Here is a 1959 test drive

what did pagoda SL owners had to say about their cars in the 1960s

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.
