Estimate by Auctionata Expert: 90,000 - 120,000 Euro This Mercedes-Benz comes from a Hungarian collection and was imported from the U.S.A. It is an extremely rare Mercedes Benz 600 with partition. Originally, partitions could only be found in Pullmann models. This was a special feature for a customer from Japan, accordingly, it was first shipped to and registered in Japan. In the 1980s it was exported to the U.S.A. and a few years ago bought by a collector from Hungary. Another unusual thing is the low mileage of just 12,929 kilometers. The entire hydraulic system and the hydraulic valves were renewed, basically everything that has to do with pneumatic shock absorption. The engine has been worked over comprehensively. Mercedes-Benz W100 Mercedes-Benz's 600 in-house description was W 100. It was built by Daimler-Benz as an official state car for representative purposes in the 1960s and 1970s. In the mid 1950s Mercedes Benz's head developing engineer Fritz Nallinger probed the limits of what was technically possible with the 600. Accordingly, the car was given apneumatic shock absorption, automatic transmission,power steering and -breakes. Pullmann built a version with a longer wheelbase. Throughout its period of production the Mercedes 600 was a loss-making business that Daimler-Benz conducted solely for image reasons.
