The Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder W111 Sedan followed in 1959 the successful ponton Mercedes and was the first development with a keen eye on safety and on broadening the export business. The 220SE two-door versions, introduced in 1961, followed on the unaltered sedan chassis and were praised for their timeless elegance. This 240-page guide, which was updated in May 2018, tells the W111 story. It talks about its history and development, explains in detail chassis number and data card and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide.

Why does Kobo only see 84 pages for this book? Because they only count the text portions, but not the photos. Photos are for the author an important part of a book about vintage cars and together with the photos, the total page count for this book is 240 pages.
With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. These books cover cars from the 1947 170V to the 2012 SL R231.
