The Mercedes W108, W109 Six-Cylinder

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 180-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 photos; this includes pictures of the suspension. These are some of the topics covered:
•The development of the W108
•The 250 series
•The 300 series
•The 280 series
•The coachbuilders
•W108 chassis number explained
