Yahoo Autos Owning This SLR Stirling Moss Would Be Better than Having $3 Million
Between 2003 and 2010, fewer than 1500 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLRs were sold. Such low production numbers make the SLR plenty rare, but if you want areal rarity, you need the Stirling Moss edition. Luckily, there's one for sale, and if you take $3 million to buy it, you might even get some change back.
With just under 3000 miles on the odometer and a price tag of nearly $2.9 million, this particular SLR Stirling Moss has nearly tripled in value since it was new. Considering that only 75 were ever built, that's probably a fair price.
The SLR Stirling Moss is a wildly restyled version of the SLR that completely did away with both the roof and the windshield. And while the regular SLR's 5.4-liter supercharged V8 already made an impressive 617 horsepower, the SLR Stirling Moss got a bump up to 650 horsepower.
Built to commemorate Stirling Moss' legendary 1955 Mille Miglia win, Mercedes only offered the car to current SLR owners. They didn't come cheaply, either. At the time, the SLR Stirling Moss went for just over $1 million.
If you can afford it, this would be such a cool car to own. Just be sure to buy a helmet if you do. That 217 mph top speed will be pretty windy without a roof or a windshield.
