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

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

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.

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

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

Noooooooooooooo!

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

It is a beautiful car!

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

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

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.
