Some years ago fellow fchatter Timmmmy (my apologies if I'm misspelling his nickname, it's just too many M's ) predicted the Uhlenhaut could be the most expensive car ever sold. I guess he was right
Here’s Bruce McCaw’s sister 300 SLR which he has on lifetime loan from the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Here’s some pics and video I shot of it last November at the Velocity International event (Laguna Seca) where Derek Hill and Stefan Johansson did some demonstration laps.

By the last video below, it finally started running on all cylinder. Spark plugs likely needed some clearing out. https://share.icloud.com/photos/06fmX6YvzOVOklirpTOCNTE3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/038oNUEBcbmUigeKok3vXBpEA https://share.icloud.com/photos/041U87ooG8Npl-i5wb2vCH4kg https://share.icloud.com/photos/0caX5y69A4rcQT-17Iirx33WQ https://share.icloud.com/photos/01fl2vhsbjGsy0CFziLTJ6dmw
The other day Tom Hartley Jr. was talking about exciting Mercedes news on his instagram, and I dont think it was the Gullwing he put up for sale today. Must be this.
Mercedes sold their best car to “provide educational and research scholarships in the areas of environmental science and decarbonization for young people.” What a bunch of idiots.
Why does it matter if they still own "their best car" or not? The car still exists. Why do you care what the funds are used for? Is your checkbook being personally affected?
How does this "lifetime loan" work? He paid for full use of the car whenever he wants, but Mercedes retains it in their facilities?
I cant answer this without going P&R outside that section. Lovely car. Hope the new owner is very happy. Mercedes is stupid.
He bought the car, they backpedaled and he sued. Then they came to this arrangement where he has it on "lifetime loan" in the sense that it's his until he dies then it's theirs again.
