AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bodywork and Paint:
The car is largely in its original condition and in good shape. A paint crack above the B-pillar on the roof has been professionally touched up. The condition of the seals and weatherstripping is flawless. Chrome and other cosmetic parts on the body are also in pristine condition. No welds on the underbody are visible.
Technical condition:
The technical condition can be rated as very good. Oil and filter have been changed, suspension wear parts have been renewed, and the air conditioning system has also been completely renewed. These works were carried out as part of the main inspection on 11.06.2026 and are documented by the TÜV report. Engine and transmission are flawless. All maintenance work (suspension, brakes, and engine) was performed professionally in the in-house workshop. The vehicle is ready to drive immediately. Just start and enjoy.
Interior condition:
The interior is completely original and unique in this execution by Trasco Bremerhaven. Upholstery, speedometer, TV, and steering wheel are just some of the exclusive features.
All electrical components (speedometer, power windows, sensors, radio, etc.) function perfectly. The condition of the headlights, indicators, and taillights is also flawless.
Documentation:
Inspection by TÜV Rheinland dated 11.06.2026 including the emissions test (AU). In addition, older TÜV reports as well as invoices dating back to 2011 are available. Copy Jp Title
Note:
The vehicle was exported to Japan in 1994. It is a Russian government-stretch limousine (FSB). The vehicle is unique worldwide, meaning this vehicle exists only once.
The base vehicle was delivered to Trasco by Daimler-Benz as a 560 with AMG engine and bare shell, was stretched by about 30 cm, and had flag-pennant bearers Li+Re who unfortunately did not receive approval from the TÜV.
According to online research, the value of such a one-off ranges up to €500,000. I explicitly point out that the vehicle is neither bulletproof nor armored.
An expert report confirms the overall condition with a grade of 3+. In addition, there is a short valuation for a normal 5.6-liter limousine, which shows a replacement value of €44,000.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
