Mercedes-Benz Transporter: Postwar to Present Day [hardcover]

The history of thirteen model lines, from 1955 to the present, and the clever work of the aftermarket truck body industry paint a colorful picture of the world of Mercedes-Benz transporters; over the years, these Mercedes-Benz light commercial vehicles continue to serve as rolling bank offices, luxury minibuses, snowplows, firefighting vehicles, motor homes, mobile laboratories, package delivery vehicles or tow trucks - and some even operate on railway tracks. This book documents transporter development, from the L 319 of 1955 to the ultra-modern Sprinter of today. In words and pictures, it depicts a multitude of unique special models. Owners and their vehicles are presented in firsthand reports. An uncommonly detailed specifications section rounds off the book.
