September 23rd, 2024 at 11:39am ESTARI1 (20) Seller 3Welcome everyone to this lovely Trasco 1000SEL auction. This car belonged to Harry Helmsley who is rumored to have owned 25% of Manhattan at one time including the Empire State building. He and his wife Leona lived on the top two floors of the Park Lane Hotel Central Park South which they owned on . These limos got their name from a Saudi prince who upon delivery of his 500SEL Trasco limousine said it was twice as good as a 500SEL and asked Trasco to badge it a 1000SEL. From then on, Trasco referred to any of their modified w126 cars as 1000SEL’s. Queen Elizabeth and Moon Jae-In are some of Trasco’s notable clients (see Trasco’s website). A similar Trasco Limousine was used in a 1992 Jackie Chan movie; Twin Dragons. This car received the full treatment from Trasco complete with power division window. German restrictions are very strict related to modifiying cars. Trasco is one of the few companies that is able to do so. Most limousines you would see state-side are cars that have been cut in half with a center section welded in. The quality of conversions are much higher in Germany; highest in the world. This car has been in active storage for the last 20 years; evident by its ’95 and ’05 date code Pirelli tires with like new tread. Still retains its euro bumpers and headlights. You won’t see one like this again, so bid with confidence!September 23rd, 2024 at 11:35am ESTARI1 (20) Seller 0@DrAMG No markings as this was one of Trasco's early builds, however the modifications being completed in Germany is evidenced by the B-pillar import tag which describes it as a limo. The interior work is all very high quality craftsmanship. I believe certain electronics may have been later added in USA. @Manskraft @Kcogliano Yes it went RNM ($22k) on the other site and we're giving it a go here.

Didn't take long :-)September 20th, 2024 at 1:42pm ESTDrAMG (31) 0Seller, are there any markings, stamps, badges or paperwork that says this was a Trasco-built limo? Some of the interior workmanship leads me to believe it was done in the US.September 20th, 2024 at 10:26am EST$5,555 bid placed by @Ranger902September 20th, 2024 at 12:28am EST$4,138 bid placed by @IYKYKGarageSeptember 19th, 2024 at 8:01pm EST$3,888 bid placed by @Ranger902September 18th, 2024 at 9:32pm EST$2,000 bid placed by @jonnaim13September 18th, 2024 at 9:31pm ESTjonnaim13 (4) 2This is actually amazing.
