This Mercedes Benz 600 Limousine was delivered to the company K. Schneider in Stuttgart in April 1971. A data card from Mercedes-Benz is available. The vehicle has presumably always been in Germany. The current owner acquired the car in 2018. The car still has its original color scheme in white (DB color code 050) with a leather interior in dark blue. The paintwork was renewed to a high standard four years ago. The still original dark blue leather with a slightly attractive patina is a perfect match. Together with the lavishly used and restored precious woods, it makes the interior luxurious and dignified. Compared to most 600 models in dark paintwork, this color combination appears less "stately" and lends the stately saloon a certain lightness. The chrome has a solid condition and shine. The engine installed is "matching numbers" and therefore the original unit. The gearbox is not as delivered and has been extensively overhauled and the gearshift slider replaced. The air suspension and brakes were professionally renewed last year. All the specific comfort extras of the so-called "comfort hydraulics" that make up a Mercedes 600 are functional - this is not a matter of course even with restored Mercedes 600 models. The equipment includes hydraulically adjustable seats and rear bench, hydraulic window lifters, hydraulic sliding roof, hydraulic tailgate, as well as the privacy screen in the rear and a contemporary "Becker Mexico" stereo radio with cassette player. The Mercedes 600 is an exceptional representative vehicle of its time, which set standards in terms of both drive and comfort. This 600 still embodies this impressively today without appearing obtrusive or too powerful. It impresses with its good overall condition and fully functional vehicle technology. An impressive and ready-to-use "monument" to post-war German automotive history.

The Mercedes Benz 600 was presented at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in 1963. Series production began in the fall of 1964 and the W100 series was then, as now, also referred to as the "big Mercedes" in the tradition of the pre-war model 770 (W07/W150). The 600 had impressive dimensions and was available as a short version (saloon) and a long version (Pullman) with three rows of seats. The design was created by Paul Bracq, who was also responsible for the design of the SL (W113 "Pagoda") at Mercedes. Right from the start, the car was a sensation and set new standards for luxury cars. At the time, Mercedes demonstrated what was technically feasible and underpinned its claim to be the designer and manufacturer of the "best automobile". Mercedes had developed an elaborate and extensive range of equipment to ensure maximum operating and driving comfort. The chassis featured air suspension with level control, shock absorber control, dual-circuit servo brake system, disc brakes on all wheels as well as a double wishbone axle at the front and single-joint swing axle at the rear. In the course of the model's development, 15 patents were registered. In addition, a unique hydraulic servo system ("comfort hydraulics") provided almost silent comfort. It included the adjustment of the front and rear seats, the opening and closing of the side windows, the trunk lid and the optional sunroof. There was also a closing aid for the doors, which was discontinued from 1971. An electronic heating and ventilation system was standard and air conditioning was available as an option. In addition, a wide range of individual customer wishes could be realized. A completely redesigned V8 engine (type M100) with a displacement of 6.3 liters and an output of 250 hp provided the drive. A special feature at the time was the built-in intake manifold injection with an eight-piston injection pump. The engine alone weighed over 400 kg. The 600 was designed for status and representation of the international elite, including company bosses, stars and artists, state governments and royalty. Prominent owners included John Lennon, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Herbert von Karajan, Aristotle Onassis, Coco Chanell, Gunter Sachs and the Shah of Persia. To this day, Mercedes 600s are still in use all over the world for this prestigious task. Created by 1981 - largely handcrafted.
