Had a quick search and seems no one has posted this yet so here it is...

Fancy an abandoned 'barn find' Merc? - BBC Top Gear

What are they worth minted?

Where would you start?

A wash!

Where would you start?

Buy giving up and spending less than the £30k they expect for it on a straight one?

Mercedes-Benz : 600-Series | eBay

Agreed

To be fair the ebay on is just a SWB, but even so...

 

[Merc Owner 2B]

Uhm! Been wanting to try out my new clay bar!

I have no idea what they're worth, a skip like this and they want 30k?!

Guessing it'll be bought and stripped or bought to keep for a long time by a very wealthy person.

Either way, shame it was left to rot!

I think they're just fishing at £30K but it would be interesting to know what the final figure will be.

I think it's the "pullman" part that makes these particularly valuable.

According to Wikipedia production numbers as follows:-

SWB: 2,190
LWB: 428 (4 doors are refered to as Pullmans - 6 doors as Limos)
Landaulet: 59

The Landaulet's are all silly money - six figures plus.

 

[Stratman]

The ebay one is a straight six, the TG one a V8, both with the 600 badge.

True, but there was a resto project sold at auction for very low money a short while ago...umm £60k springs to mind.

It was almost tempting.

I think that's a typo, aren't they all 6.3 V8s?

But not a diesel?

Could've stuck a 420Cdi into it.

You're right of course. I've had a spin through the pictures and it is indeed a throbbing V8.

Might be something MB Classic Centre would be interested in...........
