The innovative Mercedes 300SE W112 was the most technically advanced sedan at its launch in 1961. Yet it disappointed its makers in terms of its sales success. Image-wise it was a clever move, as every 190D owner saw a bit of that 300SE in his own car. Problem was, the targeted customer base was because of this similarity less amused. The two-door models were equally advanced and disappointed as much with their sales success. Today, these superb cars are highly regarded and fetch premium money, if in good condition. This 190-page guide, which was updated in August 2023, tells with many new color photos the story of the W112 in definite detail. A German version of this book is also available here on Amazon.
These are some of the topics covered:
  • Development of the W112 and W112C
  • The 300SE
  • The 300SE lang
  • The racing history
  • The 300SE Coupe and Cabriolet
  • Excerpts from the original sales brochures
  • 300SE vs. Jaguar Mk 10
  • W112 chassis number and data card explained
  • W112 buyer's guide
  • Paint and interior options
  • Technical specifications
  • Over 150 mostly recent color photos highlight many 300SE features, this includes the suspension
This guide ends with a free book offer. Enjoy!

With over 25 books and e-books written about Mercedes-Benz cars, Bernd S. Koehling has proven to be an authority on the brand. The books cover cars from the 1936 170V to the 2012 SL R231.

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.
