Publisher Description: The Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 was a gamble, the 600 was at least for most European markets too big and flashy. The pagoda SL, launched at the same time as the 600, was an even bigger gamble. It had to replace not only the iconic 300SL, but also the more affordable 190SL. Only the W108 was not a gamble. It was the consequent evolution of a successful executive car that finally did away with the "one body fits all engines" philosophy. This 270-page book was last updated in Dec. 2016 and covers them all: the 600, Pagoda SL and the W108/109 with six- and eight-cylinder engines. It is one of over twenty-five books/e-books by the author about Mercedes cars. And these are some of the topics covered: A technical section covers their paint and upholstery options, the production history plus engine and performance data of each model. Enjoy! |
