1972 MERCEDES-BENZ 600 PULLMAN LIMOUSINE Chassis No. 10001212002121 Blue with cream interior Engine: V-8, single overhead camshaft per bank, 6,329cc at 4000rpm; Gearbox: four speed automatic; Brakes: front and rear servo assisted discs; Suspension: self-levelling independent and anti-roll bars. Left hand drive. In 1963 Mercedes-Benz introduced their 600 Series, a car that instantly became the world's most luxurious limousine--even today it is considered in this light. The 6.3 liter engine was the first production V-type eight cylinder with fuel injection and overhead camshafts, enough to propel the big car to almost 130mph. Three production styles were available, from four-door limousine to Pullman six-door limousine and Pullman landaulette. 2,600 model 600's were built between 1963 and 1981. The cars offered the ultimate in mechanical sophistication and luxury with such features as air suspension, adjustable shock absorbers, central locking, hydraulic trunk opening operation, adjustable steering wheel, twin heating systems with air conditioning, rear seat bar and refrigerators. Suspension was unique as well, with heavy rubber airbags added to the four wheel independent system, used to raise and lower the car. Automatic transmission was standard, with fuel consumption at a remarkable 15.2mpg. This particular 600 limousine has been professionally maintained with good care throughout the present ownership. The odometer reads 76,000 miles. It was built in April 1972 and purchased by the present owner in June 1986. Both the interior and exterior are said to be in good condition.
