Let’s shine some light on the tale of this Mercedes S600 Limousine that has been left on the side of a road in Pune since 2009.
It’s a great example to remind us that life can sometimes be uncertain.
This special car has quite a story behind it, one that’s truly remarkable.

So, our story starts back in 2004.
A 53-year-old man who ran a Chit fund organization achieved his dream of owning this luxurious Mercedes S600 Limousine.
But things took a turn when the police got wind of his involvement in some shady dealings with black money.
They swooped in for a raid, but the man managed to slip away by offering bribes.

I hope this car undergoes restoration and finds a new lease on life.

Fearing more trouble from the government, he left the country in a hurry, abandoning his beloved Mercedes S600 Limousine on the roadside before catching a taxi to the airport.
Since then, this luxury piece of automotive history has been waiting for a new owner, similar to these three supercars abandoned in a Chinese dealership.
This car, a 2006 Mercedes S600 W220 is quite the marvel.
Released in 2006, the car had the latest 5.5-liter V12 engine, producing 493 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
Whether we talk about its looks or power, it’s the kind of car that turns heads wherever it goes.
Every day, the people of Pune pass by this stunning Mercedes, unaware of its intriguing history.
Covered by Rattan Dhillon on X, its story remains largely untold.
But if given the chance, this abandoned gem could shine once again on the roads of Pune.
Restored to its former glory, it would reclaim its rightful place among the elite.
But sadly, so many years have passed and the car still remains unclaimed.
And while the car waits for a new owner, it deserves to have its story told.
