Imagine nobody else in the world willing to pay that much money for an item. The joy and curse of an auction.

A true historic automotive masterpiece! WOW!

Accurate , Brief , Clear & Classy video from RM Sotheby on the auctioning of Mercedes~Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupès that sold for €135Million >>> Just Excellent! 🐉🌷🌿

That´s a new level, a new record, a new dimension and real history for a car. The Ferrari 250GTO sold for $70 Million on a privat sell. The MB 300slr doubles the price.

So pleased that it will be on exhibition for the next several years, absolute beauty

The sound of that straight 8.....

The car is staying at the MB Museum. It needs specialist care to look after it, and even start it! (I watched them do it, and it's a polava!). Although it will be going on tour to select places around the world (such as Pebble Beach Concourse D'Elegance and MB World Brooklands) so that many enthusiasts get to see it.

@WeeShoeyDugless

It was 'just' the 300SLR roadster, was never called 'the Uhlenhaut'. But yes, Moss' car would probably double that price AND...... THEE Uhlenhaut 300SLR coupe which the great man himself used as a daily driver during testing would be stratospheric in price. IT is the most valuable car in the world and will never be sold by the factory.

The head of mercedes classic said in a video, they would never sell a uhlenhaut coupe even though they received multiple offers worth more than 100m each. Im still wonder why they now gave it into auction….

There are people who make fun of graffiti scrawls and white canvases selling for $100M, there are occasional high profile art forgeries, and there are unethical market manipulation tactics like getting buyers to buy one artwork and donate another to a museum to raise an artist's profile. But overall the art and classic car markets are just another case of supply and demand. With the obscene increase in the amount of the world's wealth cornered by the ultra-rich, the latter keeps going up. Tax wealth!

Conspicuous consumption I would say. Even though the car is beautiful I would rather set up a scholarship fund for the poor kids than to spend €135M on scrap metal.

An impressive car, but overrated in my opinion. A rather strange marketing stunt by Mercedes, with the aim to "demonstrate the power of the brand Mercedes" as its CEO was stated. They just could not stand the fact that so many Ferraris constantly achieve fantastic results on auctions.
