big blue book
« on: March 10, 2005, 11:22:17 »
Hi

I am looking for a repair manual for a 1969 280sl. I have heard that they have what is called the big blue book and it supposedly on cd-rom. Despite my efforts, I have not been able to locate one.

Does anyone have a link to the site?

Thanks

Here is the link for the book but the site doesn't appear to include the CD for the w113.

I went to the site and you are correct. Nothing for the 113.

Anyone else have an idea where to pick up the repair manual on cd for a 1969 280sl?

Thanks

The "R" stands for Roadster and appears to have been retrospectively applied to all SL's on any of the new DC Publications !
