Please take note, it says 510k...Euro. Or at today's exchange rate about $714,000.

If that 4x4 is worth 510K Euro, what would this vehicle be worth??

(black armoured Mercedes Benz limousine, which Hitler used as a parade car, and which is on exhibit at the Canadian War Museum, a 10 minute drive from where I presently sit)...

Mercedes Classic will manufacture parts for you... so not a problem. Of course the hole in your wallet afterwards may be another issue...

The Blackhawk Automotive Museum also has one of Hitler's Limousines not far from where I live. I'd rather go see a 250 LM...

RE: Rarest of the Rare G5 for sale.....

The one that is more for the "top brass" of the SS elite was the G3. The G5 was a field car, and was a project for "Field officers", but not "Generals". Whereas the G3 was basically an offroad limo for the ultra powerful. From what I was told, See photo below, this car sold 3 years ago for $1.5 M US. It had been listed for $750k and was bid up to that sell price.

It is amazing that it survived! But then again maybe not, becuase I believe it was Nazi General Lindeman's car.
