Chris Bass has been editor of the Mercedes-Benz Club Gazette since 1997. In that time he has handled many restoration stories and articles about the "Pagoda" SL, which is one of the most popular models among the 10,000-plus members of the MB Club. Notable among these articles were those written by the late Roger Edwards, a club member and a leading authority on these cars who assisted with this book. As well as running a Mercedes of his own, Chris has restored and runs an Allard and a Triumph TR4A. His garage also includes a 1930 Crossley Silver and a Triumph Herald convertible.
