Vin number WDB1400572A114272 was built in November 1992 and first registered in the UK as K54 FUG in March 1993. With Beige leather 256A and Blue-Black metallic paint 199U.
Bought as part of a pair by a very wealthy couple, along with a CL600, and used sparingly, this car was brought up to a mileage of 61, 374 miles, with full Mercedes-Benz Service history by its first owners. It was then dry stored due to a move abroad for a number of years. Hence it now presents in time defying condition with just 67, 000 miles.

On coming out of storage, it was fully recommissioned by Klasse Series Automotive, Mercedes-Benz Specialists, in July 2022. This is fully documented and included new fuel pumps and is invoiced for £2, 128. In our ownership, we had all discs and pads replaced with Mercedes-Benz parts, again carried out by Klasse Series Automotive, invoiced for £904. 20. We also fitted x4 Michelin Primacy Tyres with alignment for €1, 167.

The only real weak spot of these cars was the wiring loom. All 3 looms on this example have been replaced, thus it is future proofed for many years to come. Ben Cosgrave, Mercedes-Benz Specialist, Dublin, completed this extensive work. He noted this example as one of the finest he has seen. Other recent highlights include, new battery provided by Tom Murphy Mercedes-Benz Waterford, and new Ignition Coils and King Leads by Padraic Bolger Kilkenny. It had a full service on 15th October 2024 at 66, 700 miles using Shell Helix Oils and new centre section twin exhausts due to some deterioration of the catalytic converters. There are recent invoices for several thousand euro confirming this work.

This was very much bought as a keeper after many years of searching, and hence was given absolutely everything it could possibly need. Two very young additions to our family have rendered her redundant for now.

It hits perfection on every level, 2 keys, original black V12 folder and fully complete history, exceptional condition inside and out, with original brochures. The incredible Becker sound system is complete with the Mercedes-Benz introduction cassette and a 10 CD changer and remote control. It has live music vibes with incredible clarity. Thanks to the low mileage and careful storage, and the various experts who have worked on her in recent times, this 600SEL is now ready for a collection or to be used regularly. When you consider there are 15 of the iconic multi-million-pound 1950s/ 1960s Mercedes 'Gullwing' Coupe and Roadsters currently registered in the UK, and just 12 600SELs, it is food for thought. This is genuinely a mind-blowingly great car unlike anything else, and such a feat of engineering is unlikely to ever be created again by Mercedes, or indeed by any other manufacturer.

Located in Waterford, Ireland, as part of a collection. Easy access from Dublin and Cork airport. Ex Uk so easy to repatriate if going back. More information and pictures available. €28, 700. the details below77.- Pre-delivery inspection: 30-03-1993, Craigside, Leeds Road.
