Mercedes S600 Maybach

[MRPULLHARD]

has this car actually been launched in the uk ? Havent seen a test carried out in the uk by the press or any advertised other than an armoured plated one for sale currently by Mayfair prestige.

if anyone has seen one in the flesh , what was your opinion on it ?

They are super-abundant in Geneva.

More crass less class. And you didn't think that was possible with the w222.

There are a few around in the West End and they are eye catching but not necessarily in an appealing way.

There's no doubt, they look expensive but as said above, they look a bit crass and have some similarity in profile to a LWB Rover 75, just with more shiny bits!

The Rover 75 is surely the previous Maybach rather than the current one which is an extra fancy S-Class

True, but the profile is not that different.

Think that Maybach 62 may belong to one of the Jackson sisters , saw a Zeppelin a few years ago pull up outside Jack Barclays - couldn't make out which sister got out of it.

Bit of a fan of the 62 , problem was when it was launched Merc. went for two tone paint and small wheels / tacky alloys. With the 's' alloys they look well .

The armour plated S600 Maybach at Mayfair prestige is in black and with very plain and small alloys / wheels - looks a bit like a hatchback S Class.

Zeppelin.
