Equipment
Incomplete re creation of 300SLR Uhlenhaut coupe started by Scott Restorations for a private client. No glass, interior, dashboard or wiring, chrome wire wheels. Engine and drivetrain are in place. Includes wood body buck. Will be pretty impressive when complete. In fact, its pretty impressive as an art object in its present condition. Rolf Meyer Collection.
Market commentary
Being loathe to use the phrase crazy money, we will instead describe this transaction as impassioned money. There are only two Uhlenhaut coupes. M B has one and Count H. Donhoff has the other. This is a 55 chassis and might just get a MM Retro entry for its crowd appeal but it is an expensive entry ticket, particularly when the risk that the entry committee will stick up its collective noses is factored into the equation.
