Editorial Reviews: 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. This book looks at the history and development of the models, from the 220SE coupe's introduction at the '61 Frankfurt show, where it lost the limelight to a certain Jaguar, to the hugely collectable 280SE3.5 convertible of '71, and its sedan brethren, including the monstrous 300SEL6.3.These cars were close to perfection when they left the factory. With hundreds of detail shots of some of the best cars from Europe and America, combined with a smattering of archive material, the book aims to provide a definitive guide to originality for these cars, to appeal to owners, restorers and enthusiast alike.- A definitive guide to Mercedes built during one of the most influential periods of the manufacturer's history- Written, illustrated and designed to appeal to owners, restorers and enthusiasts- Detail shots of the some of the best Mercedes in the era - cars now owned in the USA and Europe- Archive material that will satisfy true devotees of these special cars- Contains invaluable guidance for those planning to purchase a Mercedes from the 1960sAbout the AuthorA Mercedes has always been part of Tim Slade's life, and he still drives the 180 he first rode in when aged three. He began as an artist and illustrator, with his work appearing in leading UK magazines including Classic Sports Car and Autocar. More recently, he has started to write about cars, and his monthly contribution to Mercedes Enthusiast has rapidly made him a respected expert on the marque.

Customer Reviews: A collection of stars March 22, 2007 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. What happened to the 250C/280C September 28, 2006 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. Keith T. Kalkanoff Gardena, California nice work on vintage Mercedes January 29, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful 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. If you have this car then you must get this book January 5, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful 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 Original MB Coupes,Cabriolets and V-8 Sedans:1960-1972 July 19, 2005 1 out of 2 found this review helpful This is by far the best recent book on these cars; an excellent, informational and handsome volume. Highly reccomended.
