PRESS REVIEWS

"300 SL – The car of the century" is THE reference book on the subject

„It is not for nothing that Hans Kleissl has been a member of the board of the German Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Club for more than ten years and, together with Harry Niemann, published the book "300 SL - The car of the century" in 2017. It is considered THE reference work on the subject.“
Classic Driver

„A book on the 300 SL is certainly not something special, as the model is considered an icon of automotive history and is accordingly well documented. Fortunately, the approach of the new book from Motorbuch Verlag is quite unconventional. The reader receives all the important standard information but also lots of little stories about the Gullwing and Roadster. Again and again they show really interesting people and also the corresponding models of the 300 SL.“
