MERCEDES-BENZ, The 1960s, W112 Two- and Four-Door: From the 300SE Sedan to the 300SE Cabriolet

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.
These are some of the topics covered:

• Development of the W112 and W112C
