2003 Mercedes S600 BI Turbo
Registration - PX03 PCF
Chassis No. - WDB2201762A353138
M. O. T. - March 2025
Odometer - 122, 000
If you want or need a twin turbo V12 executive saloon in your life, and who doesn’t, then the choices are minimal. ‘PX03 PCF’ will fit the bill perfectly, however. With just two discerning owners to date, the first reported to be Eddie Stobbart of eponymous haulage company fame, and 122, 000 miles covered to date this is surely the ultimate autobahn stormer. Fitted with the post-2002 5. 5 – litre, twin turbo, V12 M275 behemoth, the original 500bhp has been boosted by around 65bhp courtesy of a stage 1 remap. As a range-topping Rolls-Royce slayer, ‘PX03 PCF’ is fitted with every refinement conceivable back in 2003. Heated and cooled, fully electric massaging front seats, heated and cooled adjustable rear seats and quad-zone climate control are just the tip of a very big iceberg. Complete with a stamped full service history to 2022, other paperwork and a valid MOT, this big Benz is ready to cross continents.
Finished in Obsidian Black ‘PX03 PCF’ presents as a surprisingly stealthy twin turbo V12. Just the subtle front wing mounted V12 badges and the twin oval tailpipes may give some clues. Even the 19-inch, five spoke AMG alloy wheels look fairly modest under the big S-Class. The external condition of ‘PX03 PCF’ is classed as “average” by the vendor and some minor bubbling around the sunroof and rear arches are noted. A non-standard front grill is currently fitted. Opening a door helps reveal much more about the status of this W220, however. ‘PX03 PCF’s’ big cabin is a sea of Anthracite hued Nappa leather and burr walnut veneer. The condition is impressive and is vendor rated as “good”, but it is the breadth and depth of equipment that stuns. There is far too much to list here but here’s a flavour - keyless entry, start/ stop, Command infotainment CD + 6 CD changer, navigation, radar cruise control, auto lights, rear electric blind, sunroof, electronically controlled adjustable pneumatic suspension and electronically controlled gearbox settings. No kitchen sink was noted but the original Nokia, Mercedes branded car phone is present.
That big V12 powerplant is sufficient to propel this big car to 60mph in well under five seconds but equally at home tootling along silently at 30 mph. The engine, gearbox and drivetrain are reported very good with just the power steering pump as noisy and a new boxed pump provided.
In summary:
· Just two discerning owners to date
· A rare chance to own a V12 twin turbo executive saloon
· Complete with an impressive service history
