Discover the Mercedes V8 W108/109 Sedan models. Updated in April 2018, this 190-page guide tells you the complete story of the 6.3, 3.5 and 4.5 L versions. It walks you through the cars' history, explains their chassis number and data card and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide. All this is accompanied by superb recent non-Daimler AG color photography. These are some of the topics covered:

  • Development and history of the V8 W108/109 sedans
  • Why were V8 engines needed
  • The buyer's guide will help you to check potential trouble spots
  • Chassis number and data card are explained in detail
  • Power and torque curves
  • Technical features and production history
  • Over 140 mostly recent color photos highlight many interesting features; this includes pictures of the suspension

  • A separate chapter is devoted to safety guru Béla Barényi, whose concepts greatly influenced how Mercedes cars like the W108/109 were designed.

    Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with over 140 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 75 (or the corresponding amount in £ or €), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding.
