This Mercedes Benz W100 for sale, specifically the Pullman model, is a rare gem in the world of classic automobiles.
The Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Pullman: A Legacy of Luxury
When the Mercedes-Benz 600 debuted at the Frankfurt IAA in 1963, it caused a sensation. This was not just another luxury car; it was a technological marvel. For the first time in a Mercedes-Benz, a powerful V8 injection engine was employed, delivering 250 horsepower from its 6.3-liter displacement. This engine, coupled with an automatic transmission, allowed the imposing 600 Pullman to achieve sports car-like performance, reaching speeds over 205 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 10 seconds – remarkable for a vehicle weighing nearly two and a half tons.
Driving comfort and safety were paramount. The W100 featured adjustable shock absorbers controlled from the steering column, and a dual-circuit braking system with air pressure support. Disc brakes on all four wheels, with dual calipers at the front, ensured exceptional stopping power. The standard equipment list was extensive, including air suspension, power steering, central locking, and an electronically controlled heating and ventilation system. A unique hydraulic system managed a multitude of functions, from seat adjustments to door and window operation, all designed for ultimate passenger convenience.
Production of the “Big Mercedes” began in 1964, offering sedan and Pullman versions. The Pullman, with its longer 3900mm wheelbase, came in various configurations: a four-door sedan with face-to-face rear seating, a six-door limousine with a rear bench and folding seats, and Pullman landaulets. The level of customization available was extraordinary. Mercedes-Benz catered to individual customer requests for paintwork, interior fittings, and special equipment, ensuring that, particularly among the Pullman limousines and landaulets, no two were exactly alike. This emphasis on bespoke luxury makes each Mercedes Benz W100 for sale a truly unique proposition.
This Exceptional 1975 Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Pullman: A Masterpiece Restored
The specific Mercedes Benz W100 for sale we are featuring is a 1975 Pullman originally delivered to Lebanon. Initially finished in anthracite gray metallic with blue leather, this vehicle underwent a transformation of unparalleled scope and precision by Mercedes-Benz Classic. Acquired in Malaga in 2007, Mercedes-Benz Classic embarked on a restoration project that aimed to create a bridge between the classic W100 Pullman and the contemporary luxury of the Maybach series.
The restoration was exhaustive. The body was completely dismantled and meticulously rebuilt before being refinished in a stunning mother-of-pearl white at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Untertürkheim. The powertrain – engine, gearbox, and axles – was completely overhauled, and the chassis was renewed to ensure years of reliable service. The interior is where this Pullman truly shines, representing a unique fusion of historical elegance and modern Maybach opulence.
