Final Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss offered for over $6 million
The final Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss is up for auction in RM Sotheby's online Sealed December sale.
Bidding runs from 25 November to 2 December, and the auction house values the car at more than $6 million.
Mercedes and McLaren built 75 of these roofless speedsters in 2009 as the final version of the SLR.
This example was ordered by Kuwait's royal family, finished in December 2009 and first registered in Switzerland.
Its Fire Opal Red paint is unique among the model, and it has been driven just 32.9 miles from new.
The car most recently sold for €3.22 million in 2024, before its new owner shipped it to the United States and had it made road-legal in California.
The auction will show whether it can reach the new valuation.
