A Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR is said to have been sold at a secret auction for a total of 136 million euros. That would make it the most expensive car of all time. An industry portal reports on the auction, citing several sources.
At a secret auction at the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart last Friday, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR is said to have sold for a record $142 million (136 million euros). This is the legendary “Uhlenhaut Coupé”, the model is only available twice in the whole world. The industry portal “Hagerty” reports, citing several sources, but still speaks of “rumours”.
Tires, spare parts, accessories
Only ten (“possibly fewer”) selected collectors are said to have been invited to the secret auction on May 6; some had traveled by private jet. According to Hagerty, you not only had to be extremely wealthy, but also meet the strict criteria of the German car company. “The company wanted to ensure that any custodian of the Silver Arrow race car treats it with the same care and attention as Mercedes and continues to use the car at events and not resell it to third parties,” it said.
If the reports are confirmed, it would be the most expensive car in the world to date. The previous record holder, a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, sold for $40 million in 2018.
The rumors have not yet been officially confirmed by Mercedes or by the auction house, which Hagerty knows but does not wish to be named.
