About this car

The Mercedes-Benz 600, or Grosser, was the company's answer to the question of what a super-prestige saloon should be in the 1960s. It used Mercedes' first V8, a fuel-injected 6.3-litre, with hydraulics operating the seats, windows, boot lid and door assistance. Only 2,190 of the 2,677 built were standard-wheelbase four-door saloons, and few were supplied new in right-hand drive.

This 1970 example is a UK-supplied RHD car finished in black over black leather with wood veneer, showing 94,000 miles. It has a hydraulic suspension system that is reported to be working correctly.

The history file includes detailed invoices for an extensive refurbishment carried out between 2010 and 2012, mostly by marque specialist Martin Cushway Engineering. The car is described as running well and in good condition.
