Title: Original Mercedes Sl by Laurence Meredith, Dieter Rebmann, Rowan Isaac, Mark Hughes ISBN: 1-870979-66-4 Publisher: Motorbooks International Pub. Date: July, 1996 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $34.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2 (2 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: CAUTION: Title is misleading!
Comment: Positives: Gorgeous photos and substantial fact-based descriptions of pre-1971 Mercedes Benz SLs.
Glaring NEGATIVE: Only five sentences and no photos on the SLs from 1971 to the present (350SL, 450SL, 380SL, 500SL, 560SL, SL-class, etc.).
IMHO, if it could be retitled "Pre-1971 SLs", it would rate five stars but, as it is, it was a near total disappointment for this '72 350SL owner.
Rating: 2
Summary: Surprising inaccuracies
Comment: SL lovers will find Meredith's book fun to read for the pictures alone. Lots of neat restored 300SL coupe & rdstrs, 190SL's and 230/250/280SL's with many nice detailed photos of obscure options, etc. I particularly liked the last chapter showing raw data from the factory about production details. Be aware that the book has numerous factual errors. For example, Meredith says that the W113/Pagoda cars had black engine compartments, including the underside of the hood/bonnet. This is WRONG. Those areas should be the same color as the exterior of the car. There are other errors as well. It is a pity that a book that is so informative and that so many people will doubtless refer to for many, many years helps to spread misinformation. Future restorers beware.
