These old 600 series Mercedes still look the part

Not sure but a friend's company is restoring one and they are mega complex. I mean HYDRAULIC windows, seats and sunroof(s)?? Parts are extortionate and even basic issues like it won't fit on anything bar a commercial vehicle lift are sent to cause grief!

Chris this photo was taken by my friend who was a member of the presidential escort. The the president had gone to lake Bogoria which was a health resort but unfortunately got stuck in the mud. This photo became very famous in Kenya at that time because the theme in the photo was let's pull together. As you can see the president was calling out Harmbee a swahili word meaning let's work together. The Merc in the photo is not the Pullman model but he had two of them as well. Will send the photo to the museum .
