Description
1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 600 LIMOUSINE French classic car registration document Chassis no. 10001212001210 • Delivered new to Jean-Louis Trintignant on 19 January 1969 • Original service books and HistoVec history • 95,000 km on the odometer • ASI Certificate of Historical Interest and ASI Gold Plaque The Mercedes-Benz 600 holds a special place in the brand’s 1960s production line-up. Its 6.3-litre V8 engine, air suspension and hydraulic system controlling various comfort features are testament to the technical ambition of this saloon. Delivered new to Jean-Louis Trintignant on 19 January 1969 by the Grande Armée dealership in Paris, it was initially registered as 9396 WG 75, then as 6696 CB 92 around 1972. The original service records document this early period; the evidence suggests that the actor kept the car until 1990. It then became part of a French collection until 2007, before passing to an Italian collector. It was granted ASI registration and a certificate of historical interest in 2008, followed by the ASI Plaque d’Or in 2009. Its current owner acquired it in 2025. With 95,000 km on the clock, it retains its green leather interior and matching carpets. Whilst in Italy, the paintwork was refreshed, the bumpers rechromed and the woodwork partially restored, though no invoices are available. Since its return to France, the owner states that he has had the hydraulic system—which is in working order—checked, and the brake calipers and tyres replaced. Fitted with air conditioning and a Becker radio with rear controls, this 600 will allow its next owner to experience the ambience of the grand saloons of its era, with a history linked to French cinema.   1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 600 LIMOUSINE French historic registration document Chassis no. 10001212001210 • Delivered new to Jean-Louis Trintignant on 19 January 1969 • Original service books and HistoVec history report • Odometer reading: 95,000 km • ASI Certificate of Historical Interest and ASI Gold Plate The Mercedes-Benz 600 occupies a distinctive place in the brand’s 1960s range.
