Naturally the 300SL gullwing is a dream car but there are quite a few people, who claim that the two-door W111/112 models are some of the most beautiful cars created by Daimler-Benz after WWII. Unfortunately prices especially of the open V8 versions have reached levels today that one looks for alternatives, which do not force to sell one's house in order to afford them. These cars are available and one can even stay in the W111 two-door category. One only has to forget two words: V8 and cabriolet..Should this sound appealing, then this book will tell you the whole story of all W111/112 two-door versions. Completely revised in summer 2015, it comes with a COMPREHENSIVE BUYER'S GUIDE and a detailed look at the VIN/FIN and DATA CARD, so that one will better understand how these cars were originally equipped. Superb recent color photography can assist in the search for the right car or even serve as an occasional guide in a restoration project. Price developments of the various models are discussed and paint options, annual production history plus technical features covered. As requested by some of you, a separate chapter is devoted to one of the managers, who made all these wonderful cars possible. In this e-book it is Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was synonymous with fast and prestigious Mercedes cars.The author Bernd S. Koehling has over 25 Mercedes books and e-books to his credit. They deal with cars from the 1947 170V to the 2012 SL R231. --Provided by publisher.
