Lot 236: Mercedes-Benz 600
Delivered new to the United States, this fast and once chauffer driven 600 is superbly presented in white with an extraordinary midnight blue leather interior. It is still fitted with its original equipment and contains some of the most desirable optional extras, including air conditioning with external temperature gauge and Becker Grand Prix radio/cassette unit. The car is in such impressive condition, that it is most likely that its total mileage of ca. 95,000 miles is genuine. The hydraulic equipment works, including the electric windows, the central locking, boot, self-levelling system and seats. The car is also fitted with the original extras to the rear, such as electric opening of the sun roof, air conditioning and for the radio unit.
Even today its performance will intoxicate its next owner, as it is truly astonishing how the 6.3 litre engine propels this big limousine forward. It can most probably rival a great many large cars on the road today.
This car is offered at an extremely attractive price, with similar cars fetching far in excess of the estimated value of this car. A Mercedes Benz 600 is - even today - irreplaceable by any modern car and anyway a collectors item.
