About MERCEDES-BENZ, The Modern SL Cars, The R230: From
Product description If you want to learn more about the Mercedes SL R230, this is your book! Last updated in March 2017, it covers its complete history, explains VIN/FIN and data card and offers a comprehensive buyer's guide. All this is accompanied by superb recent non-Daimler AG photos. These are some of the topics covered: Development of the R230 The six- and eight-cylinder engines A problematic SBC and superb ABC The SL55 arrives A new V6 and V12 The 2006 and 2008 facelift The SL63 replaces the SL55 The SL65 and SL65 Black Series The special editions, from the 2003 Mille Miglia to the 2010 Night Edition The tuning scene, from Brabus to RENNtech The VIN/FIN explained The data card explained Trouble shooting the vario-roof R230 buyer’s guide Which R230 should I buy Technical specifications and production figures This guide ends with a free e-book offer. Enjoy! Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with some 200 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 80 (or the corresponding amount in £ or €), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding. About the Author With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. The books cover cars from the 1936 170V to the 2012 SL R231. Bernd has been involved in the Mercedes scene since the early 1970s, when he restored a pre-war 170V Cabriolet B. Since then he has not only owned many classic Mercedes including a 220S, 300d Adenauer, 200D, 250SE, 280SE Coupe 3.5, 300SEL, 350SL, 280E, 450SE, SLK230, he has also gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he shares with his readers. His other weakness revolves around British cars, here especially Jaguar and Alvis.
