Description Mercedes S 600 Coupé

The Mercedes C140 is a special car. At its presentation, it was already described as the best car in the world and, unfortunately, was misunderstood for a long time, especially in Germany. Its size and appearance were imposing, while its presence was self-confident. Something like that easily provokes envy; overseas, this was not a problem, where it was respected and admired.

The chassis of the 140 series was still used for the upcoming Maybach series after production had ended. The driving experience in a C140 is also unique and cannot be compared with any other Mercedes.........

This is a vehicle from the final series with all model updates. It already has the more modern 5-speed transmission, the updated automatic climate control, the improved wiring harnesses, ESP, Bosch Motronic engine management and much more. The very last CLs were the most reliable and are also the most sought-after today. In particular, our S 600 Coupé from model year 1996 is equipped with the legendary guide rods for orientation when parking.  These were no longer offered from model year 1997  onwards. Unfortunately, many C140s have been exported or worn out, meaning that genuinely good examples have become very rare. Our vehicle has European specification. It was first delivered in Japan. As part of the import, the headlights were converted back to  right-hand traffic (Germany) .

The S-Class Coupé is accident-free, without any damage or defects; it has just been brought to a high-gloss finish by our detailing specialist and received a Swissoyl sealant.. The car has undergone extensive servicing recently; a list of the work is provided below, with over 22,000 invested in it. It is now equivalent to a nearly new used vehicle and is once again ready for its next owner.

If you want to call the best-built Mercedes your own, there is probably no alternative to the C140. It is machined from solid; it is the last Mercedes from an era when weight and quality were not spared, and Mercedes built the best car in the world at that time.
