THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCLUSIVE CARS in the world—the Mercedes 600 Landaulet lim-ousine-convertible. Only 18 have been built, and the owners include Mao Tse-Tung, Pope Paul, VI, President Tito, the Shah of Persia, and King Bhumibol of Thailand. Features include a hydraulic-ally-adjustable “chair of state” at the rear, a telephone, tape-recorder, bar and air-conditioning. The car is more than 21ft long, and the price in New Zealand at the present rate of exchange, would be about $49,200.
