Original Mercedes Benz Coupes, Cabriolets, & V-8 Sedans 1960-1972: The Restorers Guide. It has a very good overview and good detail of the W111 cars with plenty of color pics to help you do any restoration work and good spec sheets. It does NOT have a resource guide of other references as one would expect but on the whole is a must have reference if you own one of the Big Coupes. Mercedes Benz New & Recent Titles Books. I just got a 68 with 120,000 miles that I am bringing home tomorrow. I will be posting up pics as soon as I get it to the shop. It will be getting a complete workover.

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.

With the growing popularity and value of both the 111 and 113 Mercedes, there has been a serious need for a detailed book (or books) for owners, restorers and aspiring owners. Generally, the "original" series of books are pretty good and for some cars, the only decent book on the subject. The book "Original SL" was the first in the series on Mercedes and except for the 113 on the cover with badly matched paint, was pretty good and is still a good reference for the 190SL and 300SL as well. So, when "Coupes and Cabriolets" came out I was hopeful that it would be at least as good. It isn't. Simple things like color codes (which are the same as the 113) are ignored. I was also hopeful that the book would include chassis number information to help identify if the car is a genuine cabriolet or even when the first low grille models were built. To fill-out the book, there is info on the V-8 sedans, like the 450SEL. Clearly they had the room for this info and some of it could have been lifted from "Original SL" Still, it is (at this point) the only book on the subject with anything resembling detailed information and this is borne out by the price of the book on the used market.

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.

Beautifull photos and some good informations on the text (few are scoop and you can find the same information on the web, others are incomplete or imprecise) but very very very expensive for what it is. I guess the owners of such a book try to make money by selling it at creasy price (the original price was 34,95 USD or 24,99 GBP or 52,95CAN !!!! writen on the cover). Hopefully, they find creasy personn, as I am, to pay for that.

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

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.

Vareyma

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.

This is by far the best recent book on these cars; an excellent, informational and handsome volume. Highly reccomended.
