Mercedes-Benz _x0018_Pagoda _x0019_ SLs are cars that have the style and dynamic qualities that can be instantly recognised and appreciated 35 years after they went out of production. They are more practical than their predecessors, the 300SL Gullwing and roadsters, and more memorable than their successors, the W107 _x0018_Panzer-wagen _x0019_ SLs. This book gives you a ‘_x0018_warts and all’_x0019_ introduction to what these SLs are like to own, drive and maintain, plus a step-by-step guide to how to evaluate any example you might be considering. It includes 100 photos of what to look for – and what to avoid – plus a realistic assessment of running and restoration costs, and market values. This includes servicing and spare parts prices, and the relative values of the various models, specifications and vehicle conditions you are likely to encounter.
Written by the Editor of the Mercedes-Benz Club Gazette, it draws on the experiences of the late Roger Edwards,_x0013_ a former Mercedes-Benz apprentice who spent his life working on and enjoying these cars. Including input from Roger’_x0019_s colleagues, who continue to run his company, a leading source of expertise on Pagoda SLs.
The book also benefits from the author’_x0019_s 30 years of owning, restoring and enjoying old cars, and his contacts in the world of Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts.
