One of the great things I got for Christmas was a book about the Mercedes SL's (thanks Jesse!). It covers 230,250,280,
"Mercedes-Benz Roadsters" by LJK Setright
Not sure where to find it, but I'm sure a search will turn some up.

No kidding. He is without a doubt my favorite automotive weriter.
What!? no 380SL?
cheers, guenter
Don't have the book in front of me, but I believe it was first published in 1979. Was the 380SL introduced after then?
Steve, you are correct. It was only made from about '81 to '85. so that also explains why no 560SL. I'm looking into buying a SL (possibly). Drove a Solstice (Pontiac) not to long ago thinking it might be a reasonably priced nice (not to mention new) sportcar and was 'severely' disapointed with it. It essentially drove like a truck! couldn't even compare to my '89 300E in terms of drivability etc.
Maybe a SL will be for me as a fun car and so the book will prove invaluable.
