Mercedes-Benz Cars 1947 to 2000 - Paperback

by James Taylor (Author)

This book gives a full run-down of all Mercedes-Benz models produced between 1947 and 2000.

Starting with the revived pre-war cars in 1947, the book divides the model ranges into different types - saloons, luxury models, coupés, roadsters, and examines them in chronological order right up to 2000, by which time Mercedes had embarked on a new course.

With model-by-model descriptions and detailed technical information, this book will be a great resource for all Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts.

Featuring over 200 photographs, the book delves into the histories and specifications of nearly 40 different model ranges, explaining their origins, outlining their production changes, and providing production figures for individual models where these are available.

Author Biography

After graduating from Oxford and pursuing further academic studies at Reading, James Taylor spent 12 years working in central government. However, the lure of writing about cars - which he was doing in his spare time - proved too great and he decided to turn it into a career.
James has written well over 150 books and spent ten years as the editor of Land Rover Enthusiast magazine. He has written very widely for both magazines and books on motoring subjects, but has specialised in the history of Rover cars and Land Rovers; he continues to write for the motoring press both at home and abroad. He has several automotive books published by Veloce, including: Rover V8 - The Story of the Engine; Land Rovers in British Military Service; Land Rover Emergency Vehicles; Rover Cars - A Pictorial History; and some Essential Buyer's Guides for the Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery.
