The six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109 models did away with the philosophy that one body has to fit all requirements from the taxi driver to the CEO. Until today, they have lost nothing of their timeless elegance. Updated in April 2018, this 210-page book walks you through the cars’ history, explains their chassis number and data card and offers a comprehensive buyer’s guide. All this is accompanied by superb recent non-Daimler AG color photography, including pictures of the suspension. These are some of the topics covered:
- Development of the W108
- The 250 series
- The 300 series
- The 280 series
- The coachbuilders
- W108 chassis number explained
- W108 data card explained
- What is my W108/W109 worth, with price developments from March 2010 to March 2018
- W108/W109 buyer’s guide
- Paint and interior options
- Power and torque curves
- Technical specifications
A separate chapter is devoted to Karl Wilfert, who was head of the styling department for almost two decades; his department was responsible for these wonderful cars. This guide ends with a free book offer. Enjoy!
Why does Kobo only see 94 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 210 pages, just like in the printed version of it.
The author Bernd S. Koehling has over 25 Mercedes books and e-books to his credit. They cover cars from the 1936 170V to the 2012 SL R231.
