A Car The World Will Never Build Again. Engineered when cost-accounting simply wasn't part of the conversation, the 62 was the result of a singular ambition inside Daimler: to build the most extraordinary chauffeur-driven motor car on earth. Each one, hand-built in a dedicated wing of Sindelfingen, the same "Manufaktur" halls where the most complex S-Class and Pullman models were assembled, staffed by craftsmen who worked in near silence. Coaches of leather stitched by hand; wood veneers book-matched not just panel-to-panel but across both sides of the cabin; wiring looms produced individually - nothing was standardised unless it served perfection. And while prices varied wildly with personalisation, a 62 configured like this would have equated to close to 700,000 in today's money - the sort of figure that makes sense only when a car is not merely purchased, but commissioned. This example has remained in single-family ownership since new - and as expected, exclusively maintained by Mercedes-Benz Brooklands. Its condition reflects a family who understood exactly what they owned. The leather remains supple, the veneers rich, the major systems serviced precisely as intended. It feels cosseted, not consumed; preserved, not merely kept running. The exterior colour is pure old-world formality: a deep, maritime Cte d'Azur Dark Blue, the kind of shade you associate more with Riva decks and lacquered hulls than automotive paintwork. Open the vast rear-hinged doors and you step not into a cabin, but into a space. But, it's the engineering theatre that truly sets the 62 apart. The optional electro-transparent partition can be transformed from clear to opaque at a fingertip - the panoramic roof performs the same magic: clear for openness, opal for serenity. The rear seats recline almost flat, with footrests that deploy as gracefully as a piece of yacht furniture. A car from another era - and from a mindset we may never see again.
