1967 Mercedes-Benz 600 SWB for sale
Current customer rating: (404 votes ) based onThis is a very rare Right Hand Drive 1967 Mercedes Benz 600 SWB. It is finished in Champagne with Dark Green Leather interior. has covered. an apparently genuine. 120k Miles from new and is fitted with the important Air Conditioning. The car was sold new to SRS Mining Services in South Africa and was imported to the UK in 1997. It has only had one owner for the last 16 years and has been in storage for almost the entire time. It is currently not MOT'd. is not running and we are selling as a restoration project. The engine appears to be seized although the car itself is actually very nice.
'In an age when flaunting your wealth wasn't a crime. the 600 was the automotive equivalent of Monaco. It's a masterpiece of engineering. a quantum leap over its opposition. and redefines the word opulence. ' - Classic & Sportscar magazine. By the commencement of the 1960s. Mercedes-Benz's ever-expanding model range was lacking in only one department: a super prestige saloon to rival the Grosser Mercedes of the past. This gap was filled in September 1963 with the appearance at the Frankfurt International Motor Show of the all-new 600. Representing state-of-the-art automotive engineering in just about every department. the supremely well-equipped newcomer featured an overhead-camshaft. fuel-injected. 6. 3-litre V8 engine - Mercedes' first - air suspension with variable ride control. four-speed automatic transmission. all-round disc brakes. power-assisted steering. central locking and separate air conditioning systems for front and rear compartments. Its cosseted occupants enjoyed the advantages conferred by multi-way adjustable seating powered by a sophisticated system of hydraulics that also operated the windows and assisted in opening/closing the doors and boot lid.
The most popular version was the 3. 00mm (10' 6") wheelbase limousine that could seat up to six passengers. while the long-wheelbase Pullman - a veritable leviathan exceeding 20' in length and beloved of Heads of State. not to mention a succession of Popes - could accommodate up to eight. From 1965 there was also a landaulet version of the Pullman. perfect for the official state visit.
Despite its not inconsiderable weight the 600 was endowed with highly respectable performance. reaching 60mph (97km/h) in a little under 10 seconds and exceeding 125mph (201km/h) flat out. The 600 remained in production for a remarkable 18 years and when production ceased in June 1981 a total of 2. 90 Limousine and 487 Pullman models had been made.
Interior: It is finished in a very dark grey/green which is very nice indeed. leather all round and in very good condition. all the instruments and dials. switches are there and it shows exactly like the 120k miles from new.
Exterior: The car presents well and the paint is OK. although micro blistered on the roof. The wheels are OK although the chromework is quite dull in places. The car looks nice but would benefit from improvement.
Mechanical: The car was perfect and a subject of a magazine article in 1999 but has been in storage since then. We have not had the car running and the engine will not turn over. everything is complete. however. and it is perfect for recommissioning. We are selling the car without MOT and as a non-runner. We have a service book showing servicing throughout its life. with much work done by John Haynes in the late nineties.
Summary: This is a RHD 600 in great colours. a great spec and which is ripe to get back on the road. The market for 600's is steadily increasing as people realise what a fantastic. useable classic car they are and the prices for perfect examples is now in the hundreds of thousands of pounds. This may be your last chance to buy a very nice RHD car with Air Con for a reasonable price. Please be quick if you think this lovely Mercedes may be a great project for you.
