Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Mercedes-Benz 600, imported from Mombasa in 2006, presents a rare opportunity with only ~340 RHD examples made. Though it boasts celebrity provenance and unique features like a sunroof and division, it requires extensive restoration, including engine rebuild and interior refurbishment after being stored since 2015.
