New Pagoda Book - Brian Long
« on: August 14, 2012, 18:47:08 »
I thought I was at least aware of most of the books on the Pagoda, but ran across a new-to me- one that I would recommend.
"MERCEDES BENZ sl w113 series 1963 to 1971" by Brian Long.
Lots of history, period photos I have not seen elsewhere and interesting facts (assuming they are correct). For example; the first 45 280sl's had trim rings and hubcaps, not wheel covers. Who knew that?

If you are building a Pagoda related library you should have this book. $69.95 publishers price, about $39 on Amazon.

Hi Gus

Think there was some discussion on the Brian Long book here on the Forum about a year ago.  I already have one sitting on my coffee table and I agree a good and interesting book.
