The "Original" series of books tend to be well-illustrated and replete with the kind of minute detail that lovers of the given vehicles described enjoy poring over. This volume by Tim Slade is on a par with the rest, with the exception of a few typos. If you love these cars, or own one, or just aspire to, it is quite a good literary drive. There are a few typos, and this particular volume does not have the option and color charts that the similar volume on 113 Mercedes does have, but overall it is well done. As a driver, I am familiar with all of the mentioned vehicles and I think Mr. Slade has done justice to a group of automobiles well worth writing about.

Excellent! Excellent! book. If you have a 1960-1972 M benz coupe or convertible or just want to read on them then this is the book to buy. A lot of photos and information. I bought this book a few months ago. Then I recently bought a restored 280se cabriolet for Christmas :) I used the book a lot as reference when I purchased my convertible

This book contains MANY color pictures of this beautiful model of car. Excellent history. If this is one of your favorite automobiles, I highly recommend this book.

This book describes some of the nicest coupes and cabriolets made by Mercedes-Benz. Well written and plenty of pictures of exceptionally well restored cars.

This is an excellent book especially for the person who is doing restoration work. The photographs and detail are outstanding and inspirational.The explanations given for each model and each section of that car are very informative and very detail oriented. This helps tremendously in restoration work. "But".......what happened to the 250C/280C?? Vin#, 114.023, 114.073. I have noticed that other Authors of Mercedes Benz books also seem to forget this version. This is an error that needs to be corrected in reprints or future publications. All in all a highly informative and recommended book.

This is by far the best recent book on these cars; an excellent, informational and handsome volume. Highly reccomended.
