Mercedes Benz SL

For the price of this book, it is an excellent value. Lots of information thru-out the years of the 300SL. However, not much description about the changes from year to year.

Good book for SL lovers. Many color photographs with few black and white. It starts from 1952, and includes the fabulous '54 gullwings, and continues to the newest and smaller SLK. Great text on the changes of each model year including the thoughts of people who actually designed and built these automobiles. Definitely a book for those who appreciate automobiles "engineered like no other car in the world."

Excellent detailed photos of the entire SL line except for the 380SL. No 380SL photos and only brief mention in the text. The pagoda models are covered thoroughly with excellent photos. This would make a good companion book to one with more technical depth but light on illustrations. A great book as a low-cost holiday gift for an SL owner.(I'll admit to being biased - I'm the owner of the Signal Red 280 SL on the cover and on pages 77 thru 81. My favorite is the photo spanning pages 78-79.)
