More elegant, reliable and, above all, visibly different from the four-cylinder models, they became a successful formula for Daimler-Benz. And to this day, these saloons have lost none of their timeless appeal. This 200-page book covers the complete history of the W108/W109 six-cylinder vehicles. A comprehensive buyer's guide can help you find your dream car.
