THIS MOTOR CAR:
This Hong Kong Dealer supplied Mercedes 600 Right-hand drive Grosser with Partition example that was first registered in August 1974. Finished in Metallic Silver, with Bird eye Walnut trim and Cognac leather interior. It was specified with factory tinted glass, front & back air conditioning, front & back radio, rear folding table beneath the separation window. It has a fridge and campaign glasses behind the front seats windowed partition.
Showing only 51, 045KM on the odometer and was driven less than 25, 000 KM since it was fully restored by KIENLE Automobiltechnik GmbH in Heimerdingen, Germany back in 2002. This fantastic beast has been through a professional, one year no-expense-spared engine out restoration, complete suspension renewal, full brake system repair, fuel system overhaul, A to Z pneumatic renewal and interior refurbishment including all leather seats, all carpets, door lining, all wood panels polished and rubber replaced before it was loaded into a container and headed back to Hong Kong in July 2003.
Throughout its new life back in Hong Kong, the car has been diligently maintained by local garage and fastidiously kept in a humidity controlled garage with rolling shutter. Available for viewing by appointment for serious interest only.

CONDITION REPORT:
Restored 20 years ago, the car on offer appears to still be a sound example. Largely original, well-kept and consistently maintained. The paintwork is a bit tired and showing cracks and paint bubbles in various parts of the body. Luckily no rust has been spotted. There are some blemishes in the chrome finish, but overall still in very good condition. The Interior is a bit dusty but seats, dash, carpets, wood panels and door cards show minimal signs of wear and tear since the restoration. Engine starts easily and idle smoothly. We understand that the pneumatic system may be time for repair as the car requires 30 mins from cold start to achieve normal ride height, which is likely due to a leakage in the system. As the hydro-pneumatic also operated all the windows, seat adjustments and the opening & closing mechanism of the trunk, they are currently not functioning properly without the correct air pressure in the system.
