Description
  Do you want to know the story behind the most valuable car in the world?   Of course you do! In this special edition of RM Sotheby’s Car Show, we’ve been given the opportunity to visit the incredible Mercedes-Benz Museum to have a private tour of some of the amazing cars on display and to chat about the amazing 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe – the car that sold for €135,000,000 to become the most valuable car in the world.   Your host, Peter Haynes, is joined in this special show by RM Sotheby’s European Chairman, Peter Wallman, and the head of Mercedes-Benz Heritage, Mr Marcus Breitschwerdt. Marcus is a walking encyclopaedia of all the Mercedes-Benz, and he is an engaging and fascinating man to learn from. So, if you’ve been keen to discover how the 300 SLR Coupe came to be offered for sale and exactly why it commanded such a huge sum, now is your chance to find out! Marcus also explains what the company did with the proceeds of the sale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
