The perfect family car.

Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman Limousine

Lacks isofix and is guaranteed to ps off every other parent trying to park outside school.

However - big boot, space for kids plus nanny/au pair in rear, all important dividing screen between front and rear seats guaranteeing scream free motoring.

A tad expensive perhaps....
I know they are supposed to be bionically expensive to maintain but what a great car....surely for £100k compared to the current market that's got to be decent value

. But then again if your paying £500k i dont see them getting any cheaper than that either...
I do. Running costs are huge which will put off a lot of potential purchasers who will look at something vaguely more sensible to run like a CGT or F40 both of which have more than enough performance ( and better looks)

I'd love one of these as a family car! I think they've got plenty of appreciating to do in the coming years.

Anyone brave enough to have a go at this? 600 Resto

Couldn't agree more. Amazing looking thing. Absolutely love it.

Cool thanks. That Veyron looks great value. On the other hand the Mercedes CL500 Excalibur still looks like an abomination!

706992 all in (if the buyers premium is on top of the VAT included sale price). Not quite the bargain everyone was thinking. ...

Harry Metcalfe is reporting the price without VAT, I thought I heard VAT was applicable to the hammer price

Brochure indicates Euro VAT paid, so presumably 517.5k + (Buyers + VAT) - so 580k ?

The VAT is surely only payable on the 12% buyers fee.

£592020 drives it away.

Ouch.
