Serious fans of Mercedes-Benz should move quickly if they want to secure a copy of a new, exquisitely produced volume covering the comprehensive history of the SL and SLC models from 1971 to 1989.

Authored by renowned marque expert, Brian Long, the unique, limited-edition volume details the Mercedes-Benz 107 series models of 1971 to 1989, capturing in extraordinary detail their ever-changing specifications.

Combining extensive research, as well as Brian’s personal ownership experience of the cars, the new book is based on his now out-of-print 2010 original, but has been revised and expanded to make this a volume of unrivalled detail.
