Truly one off the best from the best motor manufacturer ⛽️🚘🇩🇪
Best limousine of all time💯💯💯
I had the pleasure, or rather the honor, of having worked as an Export Customer Service Representative for this car. That was the best time of my professional life. Of the many celebrities I met, the car itself was the most impressive. Unbeatable!
Probably the finest automobile ever made in terms of quality of materials and design. Ady’s enthusiasm is infectious!
The build quality is exquisite.
When I was a kid in high school, back in 78, I was friends with a kid named Steve Smith, whose father collected Mercedes cars from the 60s and 70s. He had several 600s including 3 Pullman limos. They were really astounding vehicles, so full of 60s technology. Occasionally he would drive one into town to his dad's office (they lived about 15 miles outside of Columbus, Ohio.)
Thank you Ady for such an amazing conveyance.
Must have huge structural rigidity for such a long car to have the rear doors open clear of any buttressing.
In 1993 I was custodian / chauffeur for a new 1991 Coachbuilt one off, Hopper Rolls-Royce Emperor State Landaulette for an Australian tour of motor shows and charity events. At the time it took 2 years to build and cost around US$1.0m.
It was a similar length to your landaulet and included rearward facing centre seats with built in tables and Toshiba computer, a centre sunroof, a rear mohair convertible and lift out targa top for standing for street parades. Crystal champagne fluets & spirit glasses. LCD TV, silver his & hers Asperys grooming sets, chauffeur's division, intercom, reclining rear lounge.
Hooper made 12 closed Emperor Limousines.
It had a 6.75 litre RR V8.
I drove Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 once... fastest sedan of its day in 1971.
Great fun.
This gentleman is as wonderful as this priceless Mercedes icon.
Thanks for sharing details like the landau operating as well as the thing about the unintentional reverse shift 🙏
Thank you for sharing this absolutely amazing car.
This is the coolest car ever
I love this guys enthusiasm. I'd be pretty excited too if I was in a 600
Nice for wedding
Well thanks for providing an answer to a question I ve had for a long time about this particular 600,glad to see it "alive"; most of its various successors ( as presidential limo of Senegal 🇸🇳) did unfortunately not fare so well . As a kid I saw this very car transporting then President Senghor a few times ; and there were 3 600 2 LWBs this one and a hardtop as well as a light blue SWB 600 . Now thanks to this video I only have to wonder about the other 2 . THANKS 😊
Thank you!
Incredible car!
Totally cool thanks so much
Awesome!
Yeah I love all these old benzs. I'm subscribing!!!!
Saddam's pullman has a longer convertible top. Not exactly twins in my book, but close
In muzem in Serbia Belgrade have same one ex yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito
Amazing limo
that guy is or knows a really good hydraulics tech.
Hi, great video! Can we get a link to buy the book if possible? Many thanks!
“But lucky for this car it did not spend many years in Africa “

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....
The flag on the right wing is from??? (not Luxemburg I suppose) 🤔
Sénégal I guess.
@@teymourbayat8266 It probably is the flag from Luxemburg 🇱🇺
The Sénégal flag is green-yellow-red 🇸🇳
@@denkbrein You're right, at 10:36 it clearly shows horizontal red, white and blue stripes. I had made that guess about Senegal without checking first, for it had been mentioned that this vehicle had been part of that country's presidential fleet.
And i just want to have a fiat
Love the way Americans can’t pronounce the convertible rear roof section .
The guy in a wheelchair is he Iranian?
He does sound Iranian when I listened a second time after reading your comment.
Ady Gil is an Israeli businessman and animal rights activist.
@@korbannc Probably of iranian origin (most Iranian Jews left in 1980), because his accent is definetly iranian.
Just checked Google, no mention of Iran, he is born and raised in Israël. My mistake.
The 600 also has the loudest horn ever to have been fitted to an automobile. Jeremy Clarkson owns one & demonstrated it once on Top Gear.
It's just an air horn and Top Gear is a comedy show.
@@genemiger-ir5gb No.
@@genemiger-ir5gb How many have your heard? I've maintained 7 over many years.
The reality is that the air horn was made with the very same tone as Germany's flagship ocean liner of the time, the S.S. Bremen (I think). And yes it is loud (I've heard it in person)
'Mostly bad guys............de Pope had one!' 😂🤣
Actually he's totally wrong about the assassination attempt on the Pope in 1981. While it is true the Pope did have one of these cars (it was a 1965 and was built for Pope Paul VI) , John Paul II was actually riding in the 'popemobile' around Saint Peter's Square greeting the crowds when he was shot.
It's also interesting to note that the Pope's Pullman (which John Paul II returned to Mercedes Benz in 1985) had bullet proof glass. The popemobile was totally open.
By the way saddam wasn’t a bad guy, he was only bad because he didn’t want to share his oil with USA
So starting wars and committing genocidal attacks against the Kurds and other ethnic minorities in northern Iraq wasn't bad? Especially the chemical attacks had little to do with oil or the USA, he just thought of those people as supporters of Iran, his number one enemy back in the day.
The sheer fact that his regime was finally overthrown in an unjustified war doesn't make him a good person.
Dictator wagon
Senghor wasn't a dictator, neither were Elvis, George Harrison, Hugh Hefner, John Lennon, David Bowie, Liz Taylor, Ron Wood, Karen Carpenter etc, etc...
