Hard to believe: the 107 roadster and coupé series from Mercedes-Benz, still present as a matter of course as the SL or SLC on boulevards and the most beautiful routes on earth, is 40 years old these days! Its timeless lines are as fascinating today as they were then. A Mercedes-Benz R 107 or C 107 never looks out of place; its driver is always well dressed with it. The ever-growing group of enthusiasts who devotedly care for the preservation of these automotive gems - without any problems thanks to the outstanding quality of the 107 - are well aware of this. Author Brian Long is one of them. His book is packed with information on the history, development and model maintenance of the R/C 107 series. Together with the extraordinary and extensive illustrations - for the most part factory photographs - it is an indispensable reading pleasure for Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts. Whimsical details such as the famous "blind" on the second part of the rear side window make the elegant SLC coupé no less appealing than the classic SL roadster. How, for example, this louvre came about in the course of the 107's development is explained in this volume, which, thanks to its opulent layout, can be called a standard work. Brian Long reports knowledgeably on the development and worldwide sales of the model as well as on its motorsport history. His work is completed by extensive tables with technical data, engine variants, equipment, chassis numbers, production figures ... in short, all the information a connoisseur's heart desires!
