Expected - Mercedes Maybach S 500

Wilhelm Maybach and Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin started an engine factory for zeppelins in 1909. After World War I, the company was renamed Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH and moved into the production of mainly very luxurious limousines such as the Maybach Zeppelin, with a twelve-cylinder engine. After World War II, the company continued as a repair shop for cars of various makes, after which Maybach was bought in 1960 by Daimler-Benz, which did not come out with a Maybach again until 1997. The maybach 57 (with a length of 5.7 metres) and 62 (yes indeed a length of ....) were extreme in every way. Technically very high-end and equipped with every luxury you could think of. Unfortunately, sales volumes were very low and, despite selling prices of around half a million euros (ex BPM), it was a velvet business for Daimler. In 2012, the curtain fell and Daimler continued producing Maybach based on the Mercedes S-Class.

Such a special, originally Dutch-delivered, example we are going to offer on our site next week. From first owner and maintained from A-Z at the Mercedes dealer.
