CMC Mercedes 300 SLR

Recently sold for £115m the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR is currently the most expensive car in the world, making our 1:18 scale model from CMC look rather good value.

When Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the architect of the 300 SLR racer, was at the 1955 Mille Miglia to watch Mercedes’ success, he was also mulling over the idea of fitting the 300 SLR racer with a closed top for endurance events in the future. His musings came to fruition in the shape of a competition coupé with the performance that no other road-going sports car could match. The two-seater recorded a speed of 290 km/h during a test on a closed section of motorway outside Munich. A beautiful car made more elegant by the iconic gullwing doors.

CMC's model includes stunning detail throughout from the fully detailed engine, to the opening doors, bonnet and boot and the striking red interior. A work of art that would be a great addition to any model collection or for any lover of the Mercedes 300 SLR.
