The Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman limousine stands as a timeless symbol of luxury and prestige. Among the limited production of 304 4-door units, with only 39 being right-hand drive, this fully restored white-on-black exemplar is particularly coveted due to its illustrious celebrity history.
Previously owned by three music icons, its lineage adds an unparalleled allure. Originally commissioned by John Lennon in 1970 and used as his daily driver until he sold it to fellow Beatles member George Harrison in 1974.
Harrison, in turn, possessed the vehicle for a couple of years before passing it on. The limousine then found its way to Mary Wilson of The Supremes, who held onto it until 1989 when it was auctioned at Christie’s.
After undergoing a meticulous restoration by Mercedes-Benz, it became a centerpiece of their promotional efforts. Subsequently, it entered a private collection in 2007, only to resurface on the market recently. Its status as a pinnacle example of Mercedes Pullman limos is further reinforced by its remarkable condition and specifications.
Chassis 001580 boasts a striking DB 050 exterior complemented by a refined black interior featuring plush leather and velour upholstery accented by polished wood elements.
In the rear compartment, separated by a private glass door, one finds a suite of entertainment amenities chosen by Lennon, including a Blaupunkt radio, Pioneer tape recorder, and Philips-Mignon record player, testaments to luxury in their era.
Powered by a 6332cc engine paired with an automatic transmission, this Pullman limousine promises a superb driving experience. With its rich history, meticulous restoration, and pristine upkeep in private ownership, it represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors, likely commanding a six-figure price tag.
