Mercedes-Benz have succeeded with their roadsters where other equally prestigious manufacturers have either failed or feared to tread. Prior to 1963, the company had produced both the 190 SL a car which was, in light of what was to come. mediocre — and the 300 SL, a machine which was vastly expensive, beautiful, fast, but unbalanced. The new roadsters were, in comparison, beyond reproach. Leonard Setright reveals the mystery of the first 230 SL, the first of the family. Why was it so good? What did it have that its competitors could never attain? How did it produce such a fine line of limousine roadsters? He takes us through the 250 SL and the 280 SL, and then plunges us straight into the 'new' range of 350 and 450 SLs and SLCs, bringing us up to date with the 5-litre 450 SLC.
Here for the first time is a history of this peerless modern roadster. A roadster —the romantic, sleek two-seater — the like of which only Mercedes seem to he able to produce. The grouping of the first of the two series, the 230, 250 and 280 SL with the second, the 280, 350 and 450 SLs and SLCs is entirely ours. This book should show why this is logical and right with its unique text, photographic content and specification.
