I believe Brabus themselves have been trying to sell that particular 190 for quite some time

I’d much rather that CLK DTM to an SLR, particularly as it’s a tin-top one

Sublime indeed!

However...

Will it ever get driven? I followed once a F1 down the E42 from Mons all the way to Eurotunnel. Needless to say the driver wasn’t shy of using the V12... That was worth way more to me than seeing it stationary in some museum...

I think I've said before, Lanzante are down the road from me and I see F1's on road test a few times a year. They sound epic and are somewhat quicker than my 996 laugh

Fabulous, but most likely to be consigned to a climate controlled warehouse... and occasionally shipped to Pebble Beach or the likes.

Haven’t valued on theses gone crazy last 5 years or so? 7-10M?

Didn’t the LM spec sell at Monterey about a week ago under £20m?

But here you are buying MSO N1 restored car to a virtually new condition...

On the other hand, maybe you are right, and my price is the price in 5yrs time ??

His is a GTR isn’t it? Don’t think it’s a long tail.

Wow.
Reading the ad, it has had a few changes having started as dark green with tan leather and gold wheels.
Yes please.
