The 560SL is the R107 everybody seems to want. But the R107 is more than that, an early 450SL or even a manual 350SL can be as much fun to drive. The same is true for the SLC, where a 350SLC or even the underpowered US 380SLC can be enjoyed as much as the 500SLC. These cars are in general available at half of what the top of the line models cost, given a similar condition.

But whatever the engine size, if one wants to buy one, all of them need to be carefully evaluated. Can you imagine that even a low mileage, good looking 560SL can far exceed your wildest imaginations, when it comes to restoration costs? This book can help you finding the right R/C107. Fully updated in summer 2015, it comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide for both the SL and SLC. This includes a look at their price development over the past years. It also explains in detail their VIN and data card. This guide looks also at the paint and interior upholstery options and continues with full technical details plus the annual production history of each model. As a bonus, rare insights into the R107's almost unknown rally history are given. The book is available both in Kindle and hard copy formats.
