Book excerpt: If you started to look in 2015 for a decent R129, you might have wondered, why quite a few of them are already fairly expensive.

The V8 is naturally the most popular version, but why not also consider the more reasonably priced six-cylinder models. After all you don't plan to use this car anymore to get as fast as possible from A to B. Today you use it more like you enjoy a well aged wine, where you savour every sip. With the R129 you cherish every ride. A special case is the V12. To buy one that is less than perfect is a guarantee to ruin you. You have read this far, then this new book, which was already published as e-book, will interest you. It comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide and explains the VIN and data card in great detail, so that one has a better understanding, how these cars were originally equipped and to which market they have been shipped first. Naturally it covers the development and history of the R129, but it also reveals the engines' strong and weak points and has a look at the cars' recent price development.

Download or read book MERCEDES BENZ The 1970s W116 written by Bernd S. Koehling and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mercedes W116 was the first executive car that was called "S-Class". Wide, angular headlamps replaced the upright lamps of the older Benz models. In terms of driving comfort, prestige, safety equipment and quality, there was nothing comparable in 1972, at least not in the sum of all its components. At the top of the food chain was the 450SEL 6.9. But the 1970s oil crises did not exactly come at the right time for such cars; especially in the US, gas-guzzling V8 engines fell rapidly in popularity. The solution arrived in North American showrooms in 1978 with the first turbo diesel engine in a luxury sedan: the 300SD. This 210-page book tells the story of the W116. It walks you through the cars' history, explains chassis number and data card, lists the option codes and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide. All this is accompanied by superb recent non-Daimler AG color photography. This guide is one of over twenty-five books and e-books about Mercedes cars, written by the author.
