Ultra Rare SLR McLaren Stirling Moss for Sale

A Rare Gem

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss is an incredibly rare car. Only 75 units were built before production was discontinued in 2009. To start it off, the car was only available to current SLR owners. It was named and based on the original 300 SLR roadster driven by International Motorsports Hall of Fame draftee and British Formula One race car driver, Sir Stirling Moss, in the 50's. Only 4 models were built in white, with two bearing Xenon headlamps and black carbon fiber. 

History of the Model on Sale

The current version that's on sale is one of the more exclusive models built in white. It was delivered to its first owner in 2009 in Berlin. Before being sold in 2015, the vehicle was rarely driven and had covered only 267 miles. The second owner prepared it technically for the 50th Mille Miglia that took place in May 2015 at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart. After completing a successful and demanding run, the driver retired to a quiet life. The vehicle was only driven during special occasions and now reads 2,548 miles.

Tribute to Stirling Moss

The SLR McLaren Stirling Moss was built in honor of Stirling Moss' victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia. The model inherits some of the best and most exclusive features of the original version. Moss raced in a silver SLR 300 Roadster that had tartan seats. He covered 992 miles in a little over 10 hours, finishing first. This was despite having very little knowledge of the local roads.
