For the year 1971, Mercedes introduced a new 3.5 liter V8 (M116) for the
US
market.  According to the brochure, only 1560 total cars were to be produced with this engine.
It was available only in three models:
·
300SEL 3.5
Sedan
·
280SE 3.5 Coupe
·
280SE 3.5 Convertble
The 3.5 liter V8 engine was brought in to stay competitive with Amercian V8 cars.  It was used for only this year which are now highly sought after cars.  The following year, both the Coupe and Convertible were discontinued.
These V8 models might have been available in Europe earlier in 1970.
The cars are shown in colorful pictures along with discussion in a few paragraphs.  There are several detail pictures along with larger pictures of each model.
Dimensions:
approx. 8” x 11”, 4 total sides (bi-fold)
Condition:
There are some age-related stains on the covers (can only be seen from an angle), some light wear and scratches
, good overall shape.
(Incorrect) year written in ink on back corner.
