Hey congratulations, Will
So you did it!!! I remember this was the privately owned 1992 one with about 130K but with records you checked out a few weeks ago, and now it's yours. Thank you very much for sharing the CARFAX with all those who asked you.
There is a German model company who built a 1/24" scale model of the 1992 Mercedes V12 S600.
I got one at the Mercedes dealer in Buena Park where I bought my car, 10 years ago.
They aren't at the dealers anymore, but sometimes they come up for sale on ebay Germany. I had a black one, but gave it away to a friend and found a white one (same color as yours) on ebay Germany. They are metal, very detailed, and the white one comes with a gray interior. The front doors, hood and trunk open so you can see the details inside and the front wheels also steer. It has the stock wheels and the white one has gray lower panels

I've bought several models from ebay Germany, most sellers speak good English, are fair, pack well, and shop quickly! It's cool to get something from there that is hard to find here. I always asked questions about if they sopke English, would they take US$ sent by mail or paypal, how much shipping was, by air or ground, cost of insurance, before I put in a bid. Everything always worked out well.
Didn't know if you'd be interested in something like this, but thought you'd like to know there was a good model made of your car in the color you have - hard to find, but from time to time they are out there
Also, for more help for questions. there is
www.benzworld.com forum with a special section for S class W140 1991-1999 as a place for more questions and information about these cars including the 600SEL like yours
Hope some of this is of interest to you.
You will love driving that car, I am sure. I hope it treats you well.
