Description

This fabulously beautiful 600 SEL V12 from the W140 series is one of the finest of its kind we have ever come across! A rare opportunity for any discerning collection!

The 600 SEL impresses with an absolutely fantastic condition that is essentially equivalent to that of a one-year-old car. The vehicle looks like new, smells like new, and takes you straight back to 1992 as soon as you get in. The powerful M120 engine makes a formidable visual impression under the hood, while also demonstrating the absolute pinnacle of the technology of its time. Back then, the V12 engine in the S 600 and S 600 Long cost an additional DM 65,000 compared with the eight-cylinder engine, which was one-third of the total price.

As mentioned, the vehicle's paintwork and interior are in an outstandingly good condition. Naturally, the vehicle is accident-free and free of repainting. With just 10,100 miles in a little over 35 years, this is hardly surprising, of course.

The vehicle was delivered in sunny California in June 1992. The first owner kept the 600 for almost 20 years before selling it to its second owner in Washington in 2012, when it had 9,119 miles on the odometer. The latter drove the car just 350 additional miles over the next 5 years. In 2017, the car found its way back to Germany and into the collection where it remains to this day. The available CarFax provides detailed information about its history in the USA.

The vehicle comes with its fully original onboard folder, including the original service booklet and all booklets and owner's manuals.

This vehicle simply has to be seen! An indescribably superb original condition—even after 35 years—is testament to loving care and a passion for collecting. We are now acting on behalf of our customer to find the next discerning collector who will ideally continue to care for this gem for the decades to come.

We look forward to hearing from you!
