I've seen the Stirling Moss in Berlin... driven by a 70-year old grandpa in an open helmet :zoom:
But IMO SLR 722 FTW :y

This one is definitely from the MB factory in Stuttgart (License plate)

the Stirling Moss is the only SLR I'd buy--that car is sick:eek:

but my wallet is just a bit light for that ride:D

Its cool, but it looks tooo much like a concept car. Id take a SL65 BS over this.

me too

The need to wear a closed face helmet would be enough to delete this car off of my "dream" list. I'd much rather have a supercar I can actually drive and enjoy sans helmet, without the risk of getting decapitated.

I dont think you need to wear one .... The cop thats there didnt pull him over

It's a special car in motorsport history with rich heritage!

For your own sake, head protection is a must imo!

Noooooooooooooo! :eek:

I love C&C in Irvine, you never know what's going to show. Just watch a show on HDNET, the Robb Report picked the SLR as the car of the year for 2010 over the R8 V10.

That's not what I meant; I'm speaking purely from self-preservation.

At $1M each and only sold to previous SLR owners, it's not something I need to concern myself with much :rolf:

It is a beautiful car!

oh yeah . . . if i could afford this car id rather get a lambo or an r8 maybe both

I don't think the person who buys this car is deciding one versus the other--they just add it to the collection and I'm sure it's a very large collection at that.
Personally, I like the car and see its place in the auto world, a) the rarity/exclusiveness, b) the truly unique open air experience w/o a windshield, and c) its obvious history relevance.

I think it's cool as an addition to an already bulging collection for some wealthy dude--strap on the leather helmet and goggles and zoom:zoom:

Also, park this car next to any lambo, R8 or even most f-cars and I bet this gets the larger crowd! my .02

lambos and r8s are not that special here....I think it's unique

Wow....nice

The Prince of Monaco has one of these in his collection too. I had no idea what it was when I took a picture of it but I thought it was some sort of concept car when I saw the seats, side exhausts, and lack of windshield. Def a sick car.

+1

Drive down to Malibu and every other car is a Ferrari or Lamborghini. its so common that i don't even give them a second look any more.
