AN INCREDIBLE Mercedes limo once owned by quadruple F1 champion Lewis Hamilton has emerged for sale.
The famous 2015 Maybach S-Class is just three years old and has been given a value of £104,990 – four times the price of a regular model.

The luxury motor, listed on Auto Trader during Hamilton’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix win, comes with a host of impressive extras to compliment the already indulgent S-Class saloon.
In the front, both the driver and passenger get massage seats, while the driver can enjoy the heated leather and wood multi-function steering wheel.
Ex-owner Hamilton is more used to parking in a pit lane or overtaking cars on the race track than on the road so the parking and lane keeping assistance systems probably came in handy.
But the passenger cabin is where the real luxury lies – ideal for when Lewis wanted to kick back and relax with a chauffeur up front.

Both rear passenger seats recline with an emerging foot rest – and have their own TV screens.
Fitted with surround sound audio, the car also comes with Bluetooth connectivity and media streaming capabilities – perfect for music fan Hamilton.
A double glass sunroof lets passengers gaze at the stars, while the four-zone climate control means each occupant can set the temperature in their own seat.
And to keep out those prying eyes from the F1 ace, all windows are fitted with privacy glass and electric roller blinds.

Having had just one owner since the Mercedes team racer, Auto Trader have tipped the six-litre automatic as “something special”.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader editorial director, said: “The standard S-Class is one of the swankiest cars that Mercedes makes, and this Maybach edition is even more high-end, featuring ultimate comfort mixed with cutting-edge technology.
