If you are passionate about Mercedes-Benz and want to know more about the SL and SLC models that were built from 1971 tot 1989, the this book belongs into your collection.

This first volume in a series that covers the modern SL cars from the R107 to the R231, starts with the first 8-cylinder SL, the famous R107. It did not only set standards in the number of sports cars sold, but also the length of time, they were produced. Its larger cousin the SLC, built on an extended R107 chassis, did not last long. But is was the first of the two to be powered by a 5.0 I V8.

This refenrence work talks about the engine variations and points to their respective strenghts but also occasional weaknesses. It covers the ultra-rare 500 SL rally car, lets the reader know about the first steps of AMG into the SL-tuning scene and discusses in detail the VIN and data card. The book continues with a comprehensive buyer's guide, the price development over the recent years and concludes with a detailed list of the cars'technical specifications. Superb non-Daimler AG photography highlights many details of these fine and collectable cars.
