Classic and special models of the automobile world are paid high prices at auctions. According to the latest allegations, the 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe became the most expensive model in history with a secret sale.
According to the news of the classic car insurance company Hagerty, the title of “most expensive car” changed hands with a secret sale.
Allegedly, only two cars were produced, the 1956 model Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, which was sold at auction for $142 million (approximately 2 billion 200 million TL).
If the allegations are confirmed, it means that ‘the most expensive vehicle sale in history’ has taken place. This record belonged to the Ferrari 250 GTO, which was sold for $ 70 million in 2018.
According to reports, the sale took place at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart and invited collectors from around the world were brought to the city by private jets.
It is stated that the name of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe comes from ‘Rudolf Uhlenhaut’, who was the head of the company’s test department at that time.
