This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you search for a car that can hold its own, when parked next to a Porsche 911 Cabrio, don't look any further. Because the SL R230 is regarded by many as the best looking SL that has left Stuttgart after the famous SL Gullwing. On top it is immense fun to drive, with powerful V8s and V12s to match the looks. Like the drive-train they are almost bullet-proof. Early cars suffered from quality problems that could spoil the fun factor somewhat. But all in all the R230 plays its GT role rather well, even with six-cylinder engines. And the AMG versions are true sports cars. This book with comprehensive buyer's guide can help you to find the right one, if the R230 interests you. It was already published as e-book in 2012 and has been completely revised in Nov.2015. The book explains the VIN and data card in great detail, discusses the SBC, ABC systems and looks at potential problems with the vario-roof. Superb photography and an enjoyable test-drive in the splendid SL65 AMG are other highlights. It ends with a detailed list of the cars' technical specifications and annual production history of each model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You haven't gotten yourself a R107 yet? Too bad, the good ones can cost a small fortune today and they have only one way to go: UP! But don't worry, plenty of them have been built and plenty of them are still around. Problem is, which one is the right one for you? Can you imagine that even a low mileage, good looking R107 can still far exceed your wildest imaginations, when it comes to restoration costs? Everybody seems to want a late model 560SL. Why not an early 450SL for half the money? The joy and pride of ownership is the same, trust me. Or how about one of the former longtime underdogs, an SLC? Also they start to appreciate, a few of them even very fast, faster than a mint 560SL. If any of this is of interest, then this new book (published already earlier as e-book) is for you. It does not only deal with development and history, it also comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide for both the SL and SLC. This includes a look at their price development over the past years. Another focus has been the VIN and data card, so that you have a better understanding, how they were equipped and to which market they have been shipped first. Superb recent photography from the author's collection can help you to find the right car or it might even serve as reference in a restoration project. Naturally the paint and interior upholstery options, full technical details plus the annual production history of each model are covered. As a bonus, rare insights into the R107's almost unknown rally history are given.FREE BONUS: When you have bought this book, you are eligible for a free pdf file of any Mercedes model (such as W111 or W198 or R107 for example) the author has covered in one of his books.
