RRP €1,249.00
LEGRAND Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ‘Uhlenhaut Coupé’ 1/8 kit - ‘The Red One’
The original: This coupé version of the 300 SLR racing sports car was developed by Daimler-Benz for the 1956 season. It was designed under the supervision of the then head of the MB racing car department, Rudolf Uhlenhaut. The nickname ‘Uhlenhaut Coupé’ is a reminder of this today. However, it was never used in racing because Mercedes Benz withdrew from motorsport at the end of the 1955 season. The MB 300 SLR is one of the most spectacular and expensive super sports cars ever built and was already way ahead of its time.
The original vehicle with the red interior (No.008/55) was sold by Mercedes-Benz in May 2022 in a spectacular auction for the record price of 135 million euros to establish the ‘Mercedes-Benz Fund’!
