Do you know the reason why the Maybachs are parked in France, not delivered directly from Germany? Just curious...



Not interested in a Merc sports car no, well, it doesn't exist anyway right?
Only SLR but right now wouldn't make any sense, I travel too much.
Late King Fad of Saudi Arabia bought 10 maybachs 62 when he visited the Paris auto show and bought them on the spot. Hence the reason why they have been delivered in France.
It was impressive, they had to evacuate all the hostesses from the Merc stand because they were not tolerated!
Oh well, no big deal, for 10 Maybachs!

BTW don't know if I'm supposed to say that but now, the royal family doesn't want to take delivery bc the cars are not bulletproof, Merc fights back saying it wasn't mentionned when ordered, but now they are stuck with 10 Maybachs and they're unpaid for of course.
They're looking at a bulletproof solution but it costs a fortune!!!
