Product Description

When it comes to desirability, few cars inspire avarice like the coupes and convertibles built by Mercedes-Benz in the nineteen sixties. This is confirmed by the sky high prices that these models command. Their close relatives, the contemporary V8 powered sedans, are now available on a far more modest budget, yet possess all the same fine Mercedes attributes as the two door cars.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice work on vintage Mercedes, January 28, 2006

By	James Rosenthal (annapolis, maryland United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Original Mercedes-Benz Coupes and Cabriolets and V-8 Sedans 1960-1972 (Original Series) (Hardcover)

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
