The best car to be driven to your trial for war crimes

[@ricoricardo4850]

@@famicomnintendo this car was build after world war 2

[@Sinnerboy88]

@@ricoricardo4850 But lots of war crimes still happened after WWII. Many leaders (some of whom were guilty of atrocities) from all over the world owned this car. There's lists of them online. I think that is what he is suggesting.. not that it was owned by National Socialist German leaders. Anyways during WWII the National Socialist leaders drove (or were drove around in) the Mercedes Benz 770 which was made from 1930 to 1943 so fitted that era.

I owned a 300SEL 6.3 which was the "povo" version. I used to notice the floor would get hot. I found out later that on the 600 some of those had cooling running through the floor, insane engineering!

Traditional limousines have cloth seats for the 'Owner's Compartment' and leather for the Chauffeur's Compartment. Including for Coachbuilt Rolls Royce.

[@autogefuehl]

That’s correct. Animal skin leather was a temporary trend and actually doesn’t make sense in terms of luxury

[@stephenberry1205]

@@autogefuehl I completed the Rolls-Royce Chauffeurs Tuition at the factory at Crewe in 1990. Cars used that week included a RR Phantom V, a Bentley Turbo and an experimental Silver Spur on the ski pan where the instructor had a hidden accelerator pedal under the passenger's lambswool carpet overlay... The closest motor carriages to the 600 that I have driven where a new 1970 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3. - the same engine + transmission and.. this size and seating of the 600 Pullman. In Australia I was the custodian for a year, of the 1991 Hooper Rolls-Royce Emperor State Landaulette around Australia in 1993 for Motor Shows, charity events including the World Rotary Convention & AIDS Candlelight Vigil Parade in Melbourne plus St Patrick's Day in Sydney.

There's one parked near my school. It's an empty and rusty shell without an engine, lights, seats nor any parts. Such a shame to see it left to rot there

[@waynert3548]

Yes. They may have made this up to 81, but everything about this car was from the mid 60's practically unchanged. Exterior, interior, even the air vents. The only 80's era items on this car are the phones and the radios, which do not look period correct even if they were 80's factory installed. Very odd looking in that nice 60's interior environment, IMO.

First car that I see that have 2 (!!!) rear view mirrors!

[@dudewhosaysarrh]

That particular car seems to have been in service with the government for transporting VIPs. in that case the second mirror would be for the head of the protection detail. That would also explain the three handsets, of which only the middle one would have been an actual telephone the, other ones would have been an intercom and a handset for a radio to communicate with the escort vehicles in a motorcade.

[@torben707]

I wish that those reviews would go beyond "fantastic", "royal car", "luxurious" etc. Try to analyze more specific details and philosophy behind. For instance, the little xtra sidewindows in the back, who prevents to violent an airflow in the cabin or the fact, that the window lists at the back window, actually prevents rain from falling on the window at a certain speed. And overall the overengineering and solidity of the construction. About the "clunky" gearbox: It is from the good mechanical days, where you actually can feel the gearbox and interact with it. When you feel the shift coming, take a little of the gas, and it will "help". When you press it, it shifts harder, but a little softer, when warmed up. Actually it feels much better and "alive" than those electronic shifters today, where you can feel nothing.

Idi Amin, Augusto Pinochet, Kim Jong Il, Fulgencio Batista, Ferdinand Marcos, General Franco, among others, owned a car like this. It's hard to miss that these people are despots. So, I guess aside from being the most luxurious limousine built in its time, it is also the most preferred car by the world's authoritarian dictators.
