Topic: Royal 6.9

The general rule I've always gone by is that if a country does not have a domestic automaker, you can probably assume the heads of state are ridden in a Mercedes-Benz. Obliviously this can backfire if they are brutal dictators.

Also, check this out. LWB W123 ... cabriolet?!

That IS a pretty sweet ride! Never saw one of those before.
Well, since there is a pandemic going on, why not make this a presidential MB  thread?

I am not sure I like it so much. Looks like the poor man’s (presidents, king, dictator,etc) landaulet.

I bet the W123 Long would have been easier to dig out!

I know he ain't royalty, but to me he will always be the Thin White Duke.

I lived in Jordan in the early 90's when King Hussain was still around. Jordan is a nice country with really good people. As a Mercedes Benz fan, I loved it there. It was classic Mercedes Benz heaven.

I was there as well, when Hassan was still around. Very nice people, and very safe for me and 2 toddlers. I arrived there as the ONLY passenger (with my 2 kids) in an otherwise deserted boeing 747, and walked from the plane straight into the country without any passport checks. Those were the days.
