Reseña del editor:

The Mercedes-Benz 170V W136, launched in 1936, was important for the company's survival in the 1930s. After WWII, it was the 170V again that got the company back on its feet. The 170S built on this success. This 180-page book tells both cars' story. It also explains in detail chassis number and data card and comes with great recent non-Daimler AG color photography, including pictures of the suspension. It is one of over twenty-five books/e-books by the author about Mercedes cars. And these are some of the topics covered:

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 190 high quality photos, some 150 of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 70 (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.

Biografía del autor:

With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. Those books cover cars from the 1947 170V to the 2012 SL R231.

Bernd has been involved in the Mercedes scene since the early 1970s, when he restored his first 170 Cabrio B. Since then he has not only owned many classic Mercedes including a 220S, 300d Adenauer, 200D, 250SE, 280SE coupe 3.5, 300SEL, 350SL, 280E, 450SE, SLK230, he has also gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he shares with his readers in his books. Bernd has always considered Mercedes one of his favorite car manufacturers and has driven almost all Mercedes models built since the 1950s. His other weakness revolves around British cars, here especially Jaguar and Alvis.
