A – the experts in vehicle appraisal for 30 years
CONTENT:
Together with Classic Data, the experts in vehicle appraisal for more than 30 years now,
HEEL is presenting the first yearbook ever published in Germany providing an overview on
all important car auctions throughout Europe, also conveying a choice of the most renowned
auctioneers in the United States, with an enumerating of all the prices which have been
realised.
Auctions of classic cars are no longer a pastime of the better-offs but can meanwhile apply to
every kind/size of wallet, with vehicles in every condition being offered. Auctions of cars in
urgent need of restoration oftentimes start by a few hundred Euros, however the highest bids
for special models score up to 20 million Euros.
This reference work, designed as an annual, will help any prospective bidder at an auction to
get familiar with the place, the procedure, and develop a sense of the price structure for
classic cars.

ALFA ROMEO 75
by UMBERTO DI PAOLO
CONTENT:
Introduced in 1985 as a successor to the Giulietta models this particular model line is
celebrating its 30th anniversary, coinciding with Alfa’s 75th anniversary and commemorated by
the brand in the very same year. Against the background of Alfa Romeo’s acquisition by Fiat
in 1986, these middle class saloon cars represented in many enthusiasts’ eyes the last real
Alfas, with both their characteristic features of transaxle technique and rear-wheel drive.
This new book depicts the complete development history of these popular young classics,
including a comprehensive account of their racing activities and successes. It provides an
overview on their production volume, their chassis numbers and further technical
specifications, containing a wealth of previously unpublished beautiful photographs, along
with contemporary promotional material.
The author, Umberto di Paolo, is an acknowledged expert on Alfa cars who has already
published five titles on this subject – covering Alfa Romeo 75 there is hardly another book
available with a comparable extend and endowment.

Fully revised and updated edition

CONTENT:
Statistics of car registrations in Germany verify that out of 1.000 registered cars only one of
them is a Jaguar. Nevertheless it is quite remarkable that this brand has managed to become
well-known
known in this country, probably due to its unmistakable elegant form and classy
appearance on the road.
The author, Heiner Stertkamp, is president of the official German Jaguar Club with well over
1.700 members. He disregarded myths and legends which seem to surround this British car
manufacturer in order to compile the true company history only based on facts and figures.
His excellent contacts at Jaguar headquarters in Germany supported his efforts and supplied
all necessary information from company archives in order to present this completely revised
and updated volume.

MERCEDES-BENZ
W124
by HERIBERT HOFNER
CONTENT:
Mercedes-Benz model range W 124 was built from late autumn 1984 up to mid 1997 (in India
a bit longer, until 1998). Available body types within this model range were saloon cars,
estate cars, coupés and convertibles. Of all these models the saloon cars were actually the
most successful cars from this series. In line with spring 1993’s model upgrading the generic
term Mercedes-Benz E-Class for all those models was introduced.
W 124 models featured various innovations in terms of technology and design, such as the
characteristic rear end which meant an aero dynamical improvement and consequently a
better driving performance with less fuel consumption. Special attention was paid to the
passengers’ safety, e.g. an ABS brake system and airbags were installed. Numerous W 124
models were used as taxis, and their high mileage performance and the total number of cars
still in use today are the best proof of the quality and long lasting durability of these cars.
This beautifully illustrated book depicts the complete development history with detailed lists
of technical facts and figures – a great gift for all enthusiasts of this impeccable model range.

INNOVATION – DESIGN – EMOTION
by GEROLD LINGNAU Ph.D.
CONTENT:
Car modifier b+b Auto, founded 1973 in Frankfurt by Rainer Buchmann and his brother
Dieter, caused a stir in the 1980’s European and international car scene by their technical
innovations as well as their spectacular design. Initially focussed on Porsche cars b+b
became established through their Porsche Turbo Targa with prismatic colours varnish
presented at the Polaroid stand on Fotokina 1976 Cologne. At IAA Frankfurt 1979 they
launched b+b CW 311, a contemporary modification of the legendary Mercedes 300 SL.
Mercedes-Benz was so enthusiastic about the car that they allowed Buchmann to continue
using the Mercedes star as a brand logo.
During the 1980s, b+b was one of the most successful modifiers of production cars into
individual luxury vehicles for those who could afford it – customers from the Arab world as
well as celebrities from the Jet-Set... However Buchmann’s real passion belonged to the area
of electronic innovations, and the money he earned with his tuning activities was invested
into research in this field. He was the first to think about centralised door locking by means of
remote control as well as park distance control and he invented the first car computers. In
1983 his multi-function steering wheel was protected by patent.
This comprehensive book, produced in close cooperation with Merck Group, one of the
world’s leading chemical companies for whom Buchmann popularized a new and special
kind of bright enamel varnish, presents the complete history of Rainer Buchmann’s technical
and entrepreneurial achievements.

RUDOLF UHLENHAUT
ENGINEER & GENTLEMAN
by WOLFGANG SCHELLER & THOMAS POLLAK
CONTENT:
Born 1906 in London as son of an English mother and a German father, Rudolf Uhlenhaut was an
engineer and designer for Daimler-Benz who became famous for his achievements regarding the
Silver Arrows, the 300 SL with the famous gull wing doors, the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR,
known as “Uhlenhaut Coupé” up to the various experimental C 111 versions well-known for several
speed records.
Uhlenhaut joined Daimler-Benz in 1931 after finishing his studies of mechanical engineering in
Munich. In 1936 he took over as head of the racing department and conducted the Silver Arrows and
Rudolf Caracciola to their 1937 European championship. Based upon the 300 SL “Gullwing”, initially a
thoroughbred racing sports car, he created the road versions W198 and the smaller open-topped
W121, both launched at the International Motor Sports Show in New York 1954. Though Uhlenhaut
never owned a car on his own, his official company car, a 300 SLR with a top speed of 290 km/h
became famous as the Uhlenhaut Coupé – the fastest car of its day authorized for road use!
This first ever comprehensive biography on Rudolf Uhlenhaut, illustrated with many previously
unpublished photographs, depicts his life and technical achievements, presenting a complete
compilation of all the patents he filed and exploring their significance within technical history. It also
draws a vivid picture of the person behind the technical innovations and tries to explore his character
and motivation.

MERCEDES-BENZ PONTON
BUYER’S GUIDE
by THOMAS HANNA
CONTENT:
These typical Mercedes vehicles which had shaped the 1950’s street scene, mainly in their
role as taxis, have all but disappeared nowadays. A lot of them had always been
unaffordable for average wage earners, but some models, especially those equipped with
four-cylinder engines, were not extremely sought after and were sold at comparatively low
prices during their second life as used cars.
This new buyer’s guide provides a wealth of information on all questions that may arise when
considering the purchase of a four- or six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz Ponton model built
between 1953 and 1962, covering types W 120, W 121, W 105, W 180 and W 128.
Numerous checklists referring to all assembly groups will help the reader evaluating any
vehicles on offer.
The author is an acknowledged expert on Mercedes Ponton cars, with many years’
experience in dealing with and restoring of the Stuttgart classics.
