I heard that some 600s were sent back to M-B in the 90's to be upgraded with V12 motors from the W140. Also note the unusual steering wheel (airbag?)
ps: spot the Sultan's magnificent Morrie 'junior laundalet' in the background

Uber Pimp.
Not sure what good an Airbag will do though?

I'm not a fan. It looks.. unfinished.
Love that car! The steeringwheel is also from a w140
Mercedes-Benz fanatic
Sweet!
I was wondering where you got those pictures? from a dealers website?
I had two of those pics for quite some time allready, but I never found where they originated from...
Thanks
I 'borrowed' the pics from an Oz Benz club site
No doubt an impressive conversion. Oddly I might prefer it with the torquey original V8 (M100) over this higher hp V12 (M120)
Of somewhat on-topic interest is this W100 Grosser 600 in Sydney "fitted with the more sophisticated 6.9 ltr V8 Mercedes engine and enhanced with a sequential twin-turbo installation. Power output expected 600HP."
The Sultan's Flickr: Photos from cutestone Boeing 747 is not shabby either...
I see one of this magnificent car in early '70 in Bucharest, Romania. Nicolae Ceausescu and Iosip Broz Tito inside.
