In 1991 Mercedes-Benz replaced the old S-Class with an equally appealing, sleek new design in the modern idiom. As one might expect, these new S-Class luxury saloons were designed to be world leaders in their market sector and were lavishly equipped in the best Mercedes-Benz tradition. Topping the range was the 6.0-litre V12-powered 600SEL delivering a 0-100km/h time of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
Delivered new in March 1994 in Switzerland, this Mercedes-Benz 600 SEL V12 features Azurite Blue Metallic paint paired with an Exclusive Grey Leather interior. Beyond its striking colour combination, it boasts an extensive list of options, including footrests in the rear, auxiliary heater, curtains at rear doors (left and right), electrically adjustable curtain for the rear window, front folding armrest with tray, multi-contour front seats (left and right), orthopaedic backrests for front seats (left and right), electric tilt/slide sunroof in glass version, MB Exquisit radio with traffic news decoder (VK) and RDS (Panasonic), theft warning system for Switzerland, rear air conditioning, heat-insulating glass all around with a heated rear window and band filter, 8-hole light alloy rims, sound system, model refinement options for MY95, seat heaters for all four seats, closing system with infrared remote control, passenger compartment protection (infrared), and an additional trunk lid locking mechanism.
In August 2023 and September 2024, the car underwent major services at Bahman Cars, including a full repaint (except the roof), work on the dashboard wood trim and certain electronic options, as well as a cosmetic restoration of the upholstery.
It is offered with one spare key, its original cancelled Swiss carte grise (registration document), and an expertise from the Geneva state dated 12 September 2024, when it had 216,386 km, showing no faults.

Please kindly note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in STUDEN (SWITZERLAND): please contact [email protected] and [email protected] for booking.
