Overview
The Ultimate Guide to the Mercedes 300SE W112 The innovative Mercedes 300SE W112 was the most technically advanced sedan at its launch in 1961. A year later, the two-door model also followed. Yet, despite its innovations, they disappointed their makers in terms of sales success. On the other hand, the 300SE was a clever move, as every 190D owner saw a bit of that car in their own. However, because of this similarity, the targeted customer base was less than impressed. Today, these superb cars are highly regarded and fetch premium prices, especially when in good condition. This 190-page guide, which was updated in August 2023, details the story of the W112 in definitive detail, complete with many new color photos. This book is also available in German on Amazon.

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. Mercedes has always been considered one of his favorite car manufacturers and Bernd has driven almost all Mercedes models built since the 1950s. His other weakness revolves around British cars, here especially Jaguar and Alvis.
