Probably the coolest car on this entire website.

Epic. I really, really, really want one.

I couldnt agree more. I will have one - when I have somewhere to keep it.

I have been seeing this blue black one near me regularly and it always looks great. First spotted it on a grey rainy December day and it looked mega. I dont even mind the tints.

Nice Fangio anecdote and a neat Merc.

By neat Merc do you mean nice mercedes or tidy pubic weave? Any how , what a car and the fangio story is fabulious.

Here's one for sale at a frankly ludicrous price although it is Mint!

That is one big disabled bay! Looks like it was made for the Merc.

John Haynes's old personal 6.9 is in the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.

It's got well over 100,000 miles on the clock so Christ only knows how much petrol he put into it over the years. Maybe he used to drain the tanks on the manufacturer-supplied cars disassembled for the manuals.

The fellow who bought my W220 S600L also bought a 450 SEL 6.9.

Unfortunately, we were not able to line up a meet/photo session before I sold my W140 S600L.

Damn these threads and their ability to make me browse the classifieds

Superb car and definitely in my lotto garage.

Have only seen one being used properly and it thundered past me up a narrow street in Birmingham.

So much presence. Such a noise. Lovely.

...agree, and looks wrong with a leather interior somehow, too.

[Luca Brasi]

The definitive cool car.
