Great Marques: Mercedes-Benz by Roger Bell

This is the fascinating story of the world's oldest car manufacturers - Daimler, makers of Mercedes, and Benz, which were pioneer rivals from the late 19th century until they merged in 1926. Written by Roger Bell, this carefully researched book focuses on Mercedes-Benz cars, on their design, development and achievements, from the very first crude but successful vehicles made independently by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in the 1880s, right up to the present-day range of luxurious saloon and sports cars, renowned the world over for their engineering and quality.
