The SLR Stirling Moss is fantastical, it's a beautiful fever dream. This entire collection is incredibly important, and your knowledge of these special automobiles is amazing and well appreciated. Thanks, Shmee, for the special tour of this mind-blowing piece of petrolhead heaven.

the SLR's even now from the outside are still stunningly beautiful and look current, its only the interior that betrays their age , oh if only I could afford one, the noise of them is magnificent !

1:30 love the quote in the back "remember the stock market is a manic depressive" by Warren Buffet with a Porsche 959 next to it.

I think you should brutally take from Manny and bring it across the pond 😂

Manny has many incredible cars, but his KZread channel is horrible, always videos of him filmed by his assistant showing his face while driving his cars, NEVER any rolling shots or outside shots of his car driving on the road. It’s laughable honestly how bad it is lol 😂 🤦🏼‍♂️

Tim once again proves he is the compendium of automotive knowledge on KZread. Thank you, sir.

thanks for the tour and all your wonderous knowledge of these special creations !

That SLR 722 just amazing. My number 1 dream car of all time.

The main expense of the Mac-Merc SLR isn't buying it, it's paying for the extortion system they set up for its maintenance and repairs. Everything is "Only our little department/company knows how to do this and is authorized to do this.", and they have no scruples in their pricing. To crown it all McLaren and Mercedes split up all the customer support in their very hostile divorce, so all the departments/companies who got maintenance/repair gold mines for themselves guard their 'exclusivity' very aggressively.

@@madmike6942no modern smart phone is hard or expensive to maintain. You simply put a case on it, a screen protector and charge it when the battery is low. Are you deliberately damaging the phone?

Tim, you are exceptional at taking us on these wonderful journey's. Marvellous delivery and so, so interesting! Thanks so much! 😊

I love your knowledge of these particular rare cars keep bringing out these amazing videos…

I absolutely love that you came back to the Ferrari that at bay drove to victory with an update on your homework and knowledge. You speak so knowledgeably and passionately and have a knack for learning facts and scripting quickly but that you clearly updated when you realised you’d got something slightly wrong. Kudos fella. Your latest tour has been a good un, hope you’ve enjoyed it!

Thx for the upload shmee love when you post

Denmark is a secret hypercar paradise

I've been waiting for years for you to finally drive an F1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will happen one day. BR from DE

SLR exterior still looks absolutely amazing, way better than most modern cars

What a special place. Tim with the Mercedes/McLaren’s in his element. Great knowledge. Thank you 😎😎😎👍👍👍

the Stirling Moss is such an amazing looking car, Mercedes had one sitting next to a 300 SLR at Goodwood last year and you can really see how much the heritage influenced the design. One of the GTs lives in the Philip Island circuit reception area for the go-kart track there. Incredible looking machine and it's got an info board explaining what it is, super menacing in a dark grey livery

Is there anything this man don't know??! U are a KZread legend tim 👊

Fantastic episode.The Sir Sterling Moss is my dream car WOW

Love this car, always loved it since seeing clarkson race it to Oslo

the last SLR off the line is red and lives in Pittsburgh PA

Wow, what a display of cars! 😮

It will be so cool to see a SLR HDK!

This was insane cool to see them all together. I love this car so much and would buy one if I had the money. However, even cooler was at 17:12 when the robot grass cutter came by lol

I came across your first video to me on 2011, you introduced me to the car culture in a way that I can never explain, the way I can speak about cars right now, my peers think I know too much for a person who drives a 2005 mini cooperS in a 3rd world country just winging life😅... Mad Respect, I love your content

I think the Mercedes SLR Mclaren ‘by MSO’ version that Harry’s Garage reviewed is the best SLR variant. I heard only 20 were recommissioned into this ‘MSO special edition’ trim that was offered in 2022. Buyers could pick & choose what they wanted, I believe the price to get everything was like 200K US. IIRC Options include: - Full Repaint (super interesting because the SLR only came in black & silver from factory). - Handling PKG (additional upgrade over the 2011 handling PKG) - Exhaust PKG (IIRC this also removed the catalytic converters) - Interior PKG (redoes entire interior including doors, dash & seats also uses ribbed carpeting like MB used in the 60s)

0:04 the Autozone special SLR aka. the Two-Face SLR the most "riced" car that Mercedes ever made. Looks like a cheap body kit sadly. now it looks like a street racer who hangs around the autozone parking space... with its giant wing, horrible wheels and horrible overhang over the tires. They took one of the most beautiful cars ever made and riced it. And then sold it for double the price. Incredible. And the owner of this car doubled down and gave it the most horrible paint job i have ever seen on an SLR (beside the mega-riced 999 red-gold "dream") ...

@shmee150 Tim you really are one of the best automotive journalists out there! Excellent video!

Such a very cool collection of cars

One of my ALL time favorite is that EB110 in that exact blue color along with the Lamborghini Countach LP500S red.

Meany yrs ago in my home town of Sheffield, I was stopped at a red light and I head a car pull up beside me. I looked over and low & behold it the one and only Rowern Atkinson in his Mc F1 he just turned looked at me as we set off together then he give me that Mister Bean look and he was gone, the sound of that thing was unreal. I'm in my 60s now and will never forget it. 1.33 the 959 only ever seen one of those on road ,stunning 👍👌

What I find funny about the presentation of the SLR is when Tim talks about the theatre of how the front bonnet opens up and it is exactly the same thing on your average every day Saab 900i … of which ,I nearly bought one a few years back, I really wish I had. They are such cool cars…. But yeah, a simple two or four-door sedan had the same sort of bonnet system in the two-stage opening like the later SLR

No doubt about it, Tim takes us to amazing collections. The SLR run through was informative. But the icing was the white F1. Very cool. I was in London in 1998 and staying at the Dorchester hotel. Waking back to it from Oxford St I cache across a small car showroom. And what was in the window.. the last F1. And it was available to buy. Could have should have. 😢

ohhh...#14!! the perfect McLaren F1!! i hope you are able to do a full review and drive of that car one day!

The Stirling looks and "feels" like a modern speed racer car.

All the legendary cars 👌

The grey on the 722s is incredible 😍

You need a w126! I just have a 560sel with special rear seats but there's crazy cool variants of the w126 including 6.0 Hammer AMG, 560sel AMG, 560sec AMG widebody etc... Join the club!

SLR is gorgeous. Amazeballs

the 722s has to be one of the favourites out of those SLRs

Hey Tim, awesome video. The MC12 Unfortunately Never Raced at Le Mans @schmee, its first outing was at Imola in 2004 where it finished 2nd. and its first victory came at Oschersleben with Andrea Bertolini and Mika Salo at the wheel in the same year : )

The F1 is absolutely amazing. Jay Leno still drives his all the time and has turned down $20,000,000. For it.

Hoovie has one, and he might consider a dwal.

His private collection inside that grey warehouse is fucking amazing, I went there with one of my classmates that was in training to be on his main service team, the formula 1 car show is fucking amazing

Saw a 722 Sterling Moss when it was released on the M25 with Ron driving and I presume his wife as passenger. Never seen one in the wild again and unlikely too! 👍🏻

It's about time you buy an SLR!

Would love to see one in the collection!!

I got 2 if these SLR 722 n mso model...just normal cars....

What a special car, and one of my favorites of the 2000’s. It would make an awesome addition to the collection next to the SLS Black, but I don’t know that the expense of owning one is worth the investment.

@7:12 Not really the first though. It didn't go into series production but there was the one-off 2001 Maserati 320S.

Hi Tim! You know Hoovie just mentioned he’s selling his.

OMG That MC-12 GT (corsa) IS BONKERS !! My dream car!! I wont fit in it but anyway

Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that Selected Car Collection let you check that Absolutely Incredible Lineup Mercedes McLaren SLRs and I think you should definitely get a 722s or Sterling Moss in the future

Tim will end up with the greatest and coolest front-mid engine supercars ever made with; SLS BS, GT BS, LFA, SLR and the Versione Speciale of the 812 replacement. Can’t wait for that.

@johngavlick6479

That’s the same F1 that got a parking ticket. That car is traveling everywhere

You should definitely own an slr, it’s my favourite vehicle ever

Are you making a video from MyGarage aswell? Love the danish content!

12:32 nooo i saw that car in Philadelphia in 2021, wish it was still in the U.S. :(

My all time favorite Mercedes-Benz the SLR Mclaren. I don't know how yet, but I am going to get 1. Just the hardtop 722

As i recall dauer also offered the eb110 body in carbon fiber and also power upgrades.

Slr will always be one the most iconic car like the Enzo

When i was young, that was a hypercar in mine eyes. Remember the race from top gear.

Love the 722 s

Thank you a lot for giving us the chance to at least imagine how it is to be in presence of these fantasy unicorns, it's like a magical feeling, even from this side of the screen 🌄🦄✨Hope to experience a real life encounter with these beautiful and dreamlike machines very very soon

I remember Jeremy Clarkson Thrashing this Mclaren Mercedes About on Top Gear! The 722 Refers to the victory by Stirling Moss with a Starting number of 722 with a Start time of 7.22am or something like that? It is a Fantastic Car👌 I'd love one!

The start number also indicates the start time, and it was the 300 SLR that won at Mille Miglia in 1955

Would you have the gullwing or roadster? 722? I’d go for a blue/tan roadster 💙

An SLR recommissioned in Solar Beam?

Take a chill, Denmark 😳

my favourite Mclaren-Mercedes SLR is the standard coupe.

Tim if the time is right for you to get a slr for the collection and you can afford to because I think there is going to be a one way direction with the price of them and as with the cgt and the lfa it's now this models time to once again shine....Would be a great car for your collection. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A SHMEE150 PLATE, WHICH PLATE WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE CAR

GREAT VID, thanks! Amazing how the beautiful SLR immediately preceded the somewhat ugly SLS BS. They are somewhat equal in performance nws some maintain the SLR is faster.

This automobile possesses remarkable aesthetic qualities.

Love

I Swear one of these days Tim will go to a car collection and His HEAD will EXPLODE!!🤣

The founder of the company I work for did the Gumball 3000 in a silver SLR in Los Angeles.

Lovely clam 😂

Man, you need a double NFS Most Wanted ultimate combo: Porsche Carrera GT and Mercedes SLR 😂

The Gt sounds like a NASCAR 😮

Only missing the mso’s edtions

Yeah. It's time. Go get it.

Mecum sold a black SLR for $325k last weekend.

Didn't know they made 75 Stirling mosses, I was thinking there were like 5 total at most because of how rarely you see them.

They shouldn't have named it "Stirling Moss", but "Ace and Gary" instead!

This is so ironic, I was watching your review for the SLR earlier today - you didn’t seem to enjoy it that much back then. Has your mind changed at all? Or is it still an unsatisfying experience with the 5 speed, and slow gear changes.

Amazing special cars in this collection, especially for little Denmark.😳👌 This is a commercial for at investment group, isn’t it?🤷‍♂️👀

I wonder whether you could borrow an F1 to do a retrospective? Would be great to do something with a Museum like the V&A???

Hey Shmee love youre Zenvo probably because i live in Denmark, its just a beautiful car, and if you ever come down to Sønderjylland around the Tønder region maybe reply to this comment since that will be a dream come true😊

SLR ❤

Shmee, thanks for messing about in supercars and design icons so I can continue my office admin job without taking precious time off!

I think Manny Kockspin has one of those

Im still waiting for a GMA t50 or t33 spider announcement 😅

Benz videos are the best ㅅ⃝
