W100 600 Grosser Wedding Car

[W100 Grosser]

Any of these chaps would easily accommodate a bride in "full meringue".

Wow, beautiful, they sure don't make them like that anymore! I presume that none of those are yours...?

No, sadly. They are not mine, but they do exist. They would be ideal for the purpose. Anyone any ideas on how to locate one?

How about a Grosser, in England and ready to be snapped up?


Sound too good to be true?

Well for the small sum of £50K you could be the next owner of one

Actually maybe not as crazy as it sounds, you could buy it and use it for your big day then sell it on!

There are two others for sale.....
A Gold one for £23,000 delivered to UK from AUS

Or a Black one for £40,000 not sure where it is though.


All three of these are in Classic & Sports Car Magazine (Sept)
Pages 232 and 202

Hope you get sorted,

Ooo, interesting - I shall definitely take a look at that. Maybe the owner of the black one would be interested in helping me out anyway! If I ever bought a W100 I'd love to keep it for myself, although I fear that servicing costs and insurance for a 24-year-old would be somewhat astronomical!

I agree that the Mercedes-Benz Owners' Club is my mosty likely route to success. I've managed to wangle myself a solid contact via a reliable source at Mercedes-Benz World, so here's hoping for a spot of luck on that front...

And I thought I was oily and obsequious! I still have a lot to learn!!

....as ever Mr Smooth Ever thought of selling Ice Cream down Lyme Bay way

At least I have refrained from calling you 'oily' cos knowing you I bet you wear the appropriate gloves and suitable overall's

And that's just for the ladies! :Oops:

I bet the overalls are 'Bib & Brace' in a country flower style or perhaps a sort of Andy Pandy style

"Ah scobalob", he said.

"Weed" she replied.

And he had.

Did you get the car of your dream?

 

[Alex M Grieve]

I shall be getting married in the Milton Keynes area in June 2010 and would love to hire a Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Grosser for our wedding car, but my search online is so far proving fruitless.

Does anybody know of someone who owns a 600 Grosser and would be keen to act as chauffeur on the special day?

Many thanks!

Thanks to Blobcat, we now have a better pic of what I had in mind.

How is your quest going?

If you look at www.carzone.ie there was one for sale a few weeks ago. As far as I know it is a dark metallic green but really nice. They are my favourite but so so expensive to maintain.

I would settle for a 300SEL 3.5 [V8] from 1970 without air suspension. They have plenty or presence too and if you look at Mercedes Enthusiast magazine you will get plenty of leads. Most of the classic dealers advertise in it and I am sure any [commercially minded] dealer will help you out for an appropriate fee.

Hi everyone i just happen to find this post on google, i have recently started a wedding car business in exclusive rare cars i have 2 600 grossers for hire and a long list of cars including a 300sl Gullwing, 190sl, i guess the wedding has been and gone but for future reference here is a link to my website ( very early days and still to be improved) www.royal-automotive.com

Good luck in your search - you have a mission on your hands to track one down!

They have a 600 pullman at Mercedes Benz world at Brooklands - I took a pic when I visited (attached).

Why not ask them for assistance / about it??? If they wont let you near it, they may put you in touch with an owner of one - who knows. If you really want one for the big day then anything is worth a try.

I'm sure they would even use their car if the price was right - Anythings possible - it all comes down to how much cash you throw at it. he he he

Just like Elvis had!!!
Now that's Rock n' Roll
