I think this is the first one i've seen for sale,not too sure,always had a soft spot for them.
Heard they were'nt too brilliant,but still......look at it!
Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out of the window and seeing that there! (next to the CGT)

Yup, probably #2 or #3 on the lottery list.

Mmmmm, lovely. Wasnt it one of those that flipped 2-3 times at Le Mans?

I remember watching something with some Arab / Sultan ragging one of those, might have had Tiff in the car with him? Sounded amazing.

Apparently awful gearbox, very cramped interior, zero visibility.

Still making strong money though - both a coupe and a roadster sold at the RM Auction in London last October.

It was Peter Dumbreck who ened up in the trees during the race - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow3rxq7U1mA

Mark Webber flipped in the morning warmup his 2nd of the week (he also flipped it in qualifying) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9EU8JH03gE

Although they were the slightly different modelled CLRs that flipped. The car in the OP is the original CLK version.

Nice, but not my sort of thing. It'd be useless unless you have your own race track, and I'm sure there are more fun vehicles to use on said track.

I wanted one since I first saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRQsfTUw80U

And I still do.

This is what the consensus is. Take a LM race car, fit plates. Have no fun at all!
