The seller offers for sale a Mercedes-Benz 600 SE W140 from 1991 with sedan bodywork, automatic transmission, and a 6.0 liter twelve-cylinder petrol engine. The car was delivered new in Munich and remained with two owners from the same family before being sold in 2024 through the respected German dealership Mirbach & Seemann GmbH in Hamburg, from whom the current owner acquired the vehicle. The car was registered as an oldtimer in Germany and is now registered as an oldtimer in Romania. According to the seller, the engine starts without difficulty and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly. The car has not been involved in any accidents and shows no signs of rust. The paintwork is described as being in a neat and well-kept state. The interior presents well, with all functions operating as intended, apart from a small broken plastic trim piece on the rear air vent. The car is fitted with AMG 18-inch wheels, H&R sport suspension components, and a period-correct Becker radio cassette unit upgraded with wireless Bluetooth. A substantial maintenance history is available, with many inspections recorded in the original service booklet.
The Mercedes-Benz W140 series marked a significant step forward in luxury sedan engineering during the early 1990s. Developed without compromise, it introduced advanced technologies, exceptional ride comfort, and a strong focus on refinement and safety. The 600 SE occupied a special position within the range, powered by the flagship V12 engine that delivered effortless performance and smoothness. Early short wheelbase versions are particularly sought after for their balanced proportions and more understated appearance. Today, the W140 is increasingly recognized as a modern classic, valued for its engineering depth, commanding road presence, and the sense of solidity that defined Mercedes-Benz at the height of its traditional luxury era.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
