Показать описание
Watch history unfold as the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen becomes the most valuable Grand Prix car ever sold—and the second most valuable car ever sold.

This landmark sale took place on Saturday, February 1st, at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Originally donated to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in 1965, the W 196 R remained under their careful stewardship for nearly 60 years before being offered alongside 10 other significant vehicles, including the legendary 1964 Ferrari 250 LM—the very car that secured victory at Le Mans in 1965 with Luigi Chinetti’s NART team.

I had the privilege in detailing that car while it was at the museum . Very cool getting to see it go across the block . Hope the new owner enjoys it !

So much better than hearing the American auctioneers talk and mumble so fast you cant understand what they are saying.

I think people dealing with this kind of prices, are mostly investors ( investment funds) and not Mercedes fans.

Sign of the times a relatively good value purchase was expecting €75/€80m in a stronger market 😎

I think the market is really coming down, this car would fetch more than 75M is this auction took place 1 year ago. Do you think this car should worth less than a GTO? I guess not.
