The Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser was launched in 1963 as the company's flagship, a hydraulically assisted limousine powered by a 6.3-litre V8. This 1970 car was supplied new to the United States and is understood to have been used by the United Nations, including by Secretary General Kofi Annan. It is known among 600 enthusiasts as the "Kofi Annan 600". The dealer describes that history as understood rather than documented.
It is a left-hand-drive, four-door car with an automatic gearbox, finished in Havana Brown over a tan interior. Factory options include air conditioning, a sunroof and a refrigerated centre console. The interior is described as original.
The page says more than £70,000 has been spent on the car in the last ten years, with significant expenditure on file. It is reported to be in excellent mechanical condition, with the 600's complex hydraulic systems all working. Price is on application. Mileage and registration are not stated.
