Mercedes-Benz 190sl, 300sl, 300slr: Road Test Portfolio

The recovery of Mercedes-Benz in the early post-war years was remarkable and its first prestige model was the 300 saloon.  Using this car's engine, transmission and suspension, Mercedes-Benz entered sports car racing.  It proved successful, winning the 1952 Le Mans 24-hour race, the Carrera PanAmericana and many other events.  The production model made its sensational debut in 1954.  1,400 Gullwing coupes were built between 1954 and 1957.  The contents of this book provide a glorious review of these historic Mercedes-Benz sports cars.
