Ishan I know this has been debated for quite a while now but still I would like to find out exactly what model this is. When I try searching for 680K on the net, the only relevant search result I get is this Team BHP link. There is no mention of 680 K anywhere else not even on the Mercedes Benz museum website.

The 680 S was 2 door. Even when you compare the overall length with the 680 S model, this one appears to be shorter. If the Maharaja bought this vehicle for racing then it should have been a 2 door and not 4. This looks more like a supercharged tourer. Now when you compare it with the Town Car (pic posted by me), you will again find many differences. Again I may be wrong here.

Wonder why there is no information on this particular model (680K) on the internet when you can find info on almost all one off machines. Mercedes Benz still produced 6 of these, atleast this is what the owner claims.

@ mods - can I post a link to this thread on MBClub Forums or the pictures posted here?
