My Grandfather drove new Mercedes in 1965 , 1967, and 1983. I have so many memories of those cars. I got to drive the 67 220 more than once! Thanks Grampa!!

I was blessed as a child in West London, because not only was my Dad a master mechanic & had me by his side helping, but there was a 3 year period that he took @Mercedes in Brentford.. It was to deliver all varied model back to customers when work was completed. Now that was mid 60's. One thing they allowed him to take home tonight (tomorrow's delivery & vice versa) son on average we'd have 1/2 beautiful classics outside. The other dream was he'd often take me on the run & hide me around a corner until delivered. It was in the days where morals & respect was great btw. Anyway's SL's inc a 300, Pullmen (quite often). Just everything was unforgettable experiences. Thanks Dad x

[@seanscott685]

Amazingly Engineered and Restored!

[@jacquesverbrugghe3822]

Beautyful Mercedes 600.I like very much this car

[@godfreyberry1599]

Absolutely amazing, top class and worthwhile restoration. Although rated 'good condition' as found - everything had to be renewed and re-done - the only way to go.

[@udaikandalama9136]

What a car....

[@nomebear]

There are a number of Japanese collectors who appreciate these.

[@johnfrei9057]

A high point for Mercedes for sure. And nothing like it will ever be made again.

[@BPoweredLove]

You're probably right.

[@peterehlebracht]

@@BPoweredLove Of course. These times are over.

[@danielmarshall4587]

Oh yes please for this video. AND.... many thanks for your work on this car and to the owner.

[@osamehammadi9167]

Nice car ❤👍

[@alroberts193]

this is just a beautiful car. My family had 200 Benz in 1975 & the exterior color was acrylic maroon with a wrap around chrome bumper, the interior leather seats were dark red maroon. It was just a classic car. Of course it could not compare to this 600 Benz. The 600 Benz was the ultimate luxury car at that time.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

It still is, no other car before or since commands such respect👍👍

[@rogerwilliamson7161]

Greetings from Germany!

[@Restobenz]

Amazinf car! I own a w116 350sel and it is a tank, he never get broke. Just need oil each 5000km and a lot of gas haha

[@rlc2978]

and so refreshing not to have to deal with ads..

[@Nicosdayinthelife]

6mths? that is remarkable...I've heard stories of restoration up to 5 - 6 years 😂😂😂

[@andymadden6848]

welldone

[@huudamu1884]

i liked it

[@pavelnedostoyev6119]

Super

[@elediablo]

The Malaysian Sultan in the State of Johor ,Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar is said to own 7or 8 mix units of this pullman 600

[@zebrasafari7318]

Mercedes is in deed pride of German people. No one is able to compare with German

[@prun8893]

In the past, yes. Unfortunately today's Mercedes, BMW, Audi are unreliable, plastic turds.

[@peterehlebracht]

Thank you & greetz from Germany, but these times are over. Today's Germany is a shithole, at least since the green plague got in power.

[@saidkamron813]

👌🏿👍🏿👌🏿

[@jasonwould6259]

Is this the one for sale at d&d classics?

[@albertodelgadodelafuente7998]

Y cuanto puede costar un ejemplar de éste modelo de MERCEDES que se encuentre en un estado óptimo?

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..

[@peterehlebracht]

Exactly 6:00 minutes length for a video about a DB 600. Someone here has a sense for details.

[@fredknows1667]

Hugh Heffner had a dozen I believe Most were used at his playboy clubs.

[@scotsoaring5373]

The ones used at his clubs were thrashed. But if they could talk.

[@bestbox8376]

اتمنى قيادة هذا الطراز من المرسيدس

[@billirvin2889]

The speedometer didn't work.

[@gurbindergill1107]

Why don't they make limousines like these anymore? The super stretch limos of today have no class, whatsoever.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the 1983 Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman LWB (W100) 6.4 V12 4-Dr Limousine (LHD) is the perfect car for hot formed ballistic steel armouring upto B6+ protection level . . .

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Three thousand man hours plus materials/parts; that's gotta be a €150k restoration!

[@vinayak4859]

I'll say 500k in the very least

[@the12345marko]

I can tell you from the first hand that around 100.000€ is just hydraulic specialist with material.

[@LW-qe8nk]

Quality quality quality this is what you use to pay for with a Mercedes that use to rival rolls Royce. Now Mercedes is plastic crap. Rolls uses quality still not Mercedes.

[@godfreyberry1599]

Agreed, If I was given a brand new Mercedes for free, I would immediately exchange for cash. From an elite, classy and superbly engineered marque to a 'nothing burger' today.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

Have you ever been in a new S-Class or Maybach? Somehow I dont think so.

[@吳淡才]

[@FyodorUshakovSuka]

Jeremy Clarkson had/has used one. So what. Even I can by used one. Britts have lost their touch.

[@BPoweredLove]

I'm trying to understand your last two sentences. "Even you" means what? I mean, anyone with the amount of money needed to buy one... can buy one. As for Jeremy owning one, I am not sure why that doesn't sit well with you. And finally what does "Brits have lost their touch" mean on this topic? I'm just curious. :-)

[@karimkanani7538]

Beautiful car👍👍👍
