The 600 is a really fantastic automobile. I think there were 10 Presidential Long Top Landaulets built. They pop up in auctions here and there. Roberto, that's a great picture of the papal landaulet. The Vatican has many other Mercedes, unique and one-off vehicles. They have a parade vehicle based on the W126 SEL. Pope Benedict used one of the W126 Benz sedans during his first outing since his election.
Yes BMW Dude, Jay Kay does have a 600. I saw that episode of Fifth Gear where he, Tiff and Vickie race around his estate. The 600 he has is a 4-door Pullman limousine. The limousine also comes in 6-door. His car is for sale.

As Roberto already knows, I'm a fan of armoured vehicles. If anyone sees any auctions for armoured Mercedes, BMW or Audi, please post the website. I'm also a fan of the 450SEL 6.9 and I tried to acquire one in Toronto a few months ago. I was able to find a genuine 6.9, but the car was in such poor condition that I had to pass.
