Maybach Zeppelin

No, really - these things exist. Curiously it also had a Brabus badge on the back so god knows if it had more than the 640bhp of the 'standard' Zeppelin.

Judging by the plate "L 1" its the Lithuanian embassy car.

Latvia must be gutted, they only have a 730d....

Hideous. Just hideous.

The vehicle details for L 1 are:

Date of Liability 01 12 2010
Date of First Registration 17 12 2009
Year of Manufacture 2009
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 5980CC
CO2 Emissions 390g/Km
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Licence Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLACK
Vehicle Type Approval M1

Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate £222.75
12 Months Rate £405.00

Motor Insurers Database has it listed as a Maybach 62 - RAC lists it as Maybach Saloon.

So it seemingly checks out.

Apparently it costs about £125 or thereabouts to fill the tank! - Gotta love the net for finding random nonsense!

Doubtless the people who passsenger in it want to be seen in a car like that. I wouldn't.

If I wanted to be chauffeured and had an unlimited budget, I'd choose an S class Merc. No, I wouldn't choose an AMG model either - I don't see the point of them if you're sat in the back. And no, I wouldn't choose a Roller either.

Maybachs are based on Merc mechanicals, with a massive amount of cow-hide thrown at them (plus a few extras).

I think they look hideous.

The joy of a Maybach is the opposite mate. hardly anyone knows what it is. The Zeplin is a car of over £500k but does it look like it? To be driven in a bach is still the best. its just the tech in these cars are so old its a joke. the new Bentley will be the best i think. Ours has now done over 100k miles without fault. Its a keeper, especially now its worth what it is !

It'd need to be, with the depreciation. Still not for me though

agreed. none of these cars worth the cost by any means!

Well, they look cheap to me compared to some "small" yachts...
