W100 The Benzomio (Pickup W100)


The Mercedes-Benz 600 (factory code "W100") is a single-generation line of full-size ultra-luxury limousines and Pullman limousines, made by Daimler-Benz from 1963 through 1981. Nicknamed Der Grosser (Grand/Large Mercedes), succeeded the Type 300d "Adenauer" as the company's flagship model. It was positioned well above the subsequent 300-series in price, amenities, and status. It was mainly used by heads of states and Royalty. When launched in 1963, the Mercedes 600 was the most expensive car in the world. Its few competitors included British and American marques such as Rolls-Royce, Cadillac and Lincoln's top model lines. Though very costly, it's hydraulic mechanisms were ground breaking and has not been seen in any other car to this day. The Mercedes 600 still remains to be a very expensive car to own and maintain even today.

Hi Giannis,

They're called Mercedes Enthusiast and they have an online website where you can actually subscribe to them. They're excellent and I learned a lot from their professional and well researched reviews. :t-cheers:

the subscription form (pdf file) doesn't work for me. Dammit!

I'll scan one from my magazine and post it here. Probably tomorrow though since I need to go now and we're having relatives come over tonight. I hate family reunions. :t-banghea
