Description
Please note that this lot will need to be collected from Brusaporto, Italy.
When the Mercedes Benz 600 was introduced in 1963, it was aimed directly at the Rolls-Royce Phantom V.
The 600 featured a stunning design by Paul Bracq, a new 250 horsepower SOHC, dry-sump V-8, self-leveling air suspension, and an impressive hydraulic system that operated the dual-circuit brakes and powered the seats, trunk, windows, and sunroof.
Despite its size, the hand-built newcomer was a true sports limousine: a driver’s road car with excellent handling, capable of cruising at over 100 mph, and fully deserving of “The Grand Mercedes” title bestowed upon it.
Considered one of the finest engineered automobiles ever built, the Mercedes-Benz 600-series defined the limits of luxury and performance for the German marque.
This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600 ‘offered here is a short wheelbase example equipped for the US-market and completed in November in 1969.
