SLR STIRLING MOSS! My First Drive in the Legendary Hyper-Speedster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- This is the Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, and my first time at the wheel of the iconic hyper speedster! With only 75 in the world, this particular car is part of @AdelsGarage in Kuwait, who has made this amazing opportunity possible. Come along for the ride with us to experience it all!
Mercedes-Benz and McLaren teamed up to produce the SLR McLaren, originally in Coupe form, before the 722 arrived as a more focused limited edition of only 150 units. These were followed by the SLR Roadster and then the 722 S - the latter again limited to only 150, however, the icing on the cake came with the final model, the SLR Stirling Moss, a tribute to the legend and his escapades in the 300 SLR of the 1950s, this time with only 75 made.
In the years since, we've seen the likes of the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2, McLaren Elva, and Aston Martin V12 Speedster, however, the SLR Stirling Moss stands out as the first to really try to this form factor. While I've been lucky to experience each of the others, there's something about this particular car that has always fascinated me, and how better to drive it for the first time than joining Dr Adel Quttainah for a run to the Kuwait Towers at sunset.
Equipped with the original Oakley SLR Stirling Moss goggles, and a 5.4l Supercharged V8 that's ready to purr away, come along for the experience of this special machine, and a genuine first hand experience of what it's like at the wheel.

The Dr is a man of few words
Yeah yeah, true, true, yeah
Yeah
The doctor is busy, he sent his least talkative clone to handle the hassles of PR
He cant get in a word more like lol
Yeah , true , you know
The only word said by him 😂😂😂😂😂 just learn english man , it is so easy
@@Mimodead1how do you think he earned his degree?
Dr. Adel doesn't seem to be very talkative, I like him.
true!
@@Curling_Racktrue true true. Yeah yeah yeah
True true
true true true yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
He seemed a little nervous
Zero arrogance from the Dr. What a legend.
The doctor isn’t what you would call boastful. Wonderful garage
I'd like to thank the Dr for allowing us to view his collection through you
This era was so special, From the F1 Vodafone grey liveries to these types of cars with both car makers coming together!
It’s crazy how well silver as a color pairs with a Mercedes logo. Literally a match made in heaven
Manny Koshbin is missing this from his collection
Fr
From what i see bro he's missing a lot lolll
I don’t know he has the sterling moss edition or the Aston Martin speedster
If they were legal in the U.S. he’d probably have one.
@DiscoR53 Road legality aside, there are 3 in the States and I've seen one of them in Michigan at various shows. It can be done...
A real gentleman. Everything shared is a blessing.
What a nice guy Adel is!
Amazing Tim!! And the owner seems to be such a cool guy😉
The Stirling and V12 Speedster make a perfect pair. Beautiful cars.
That car has so much unbelievably cool presence, attitude, and style… and the goggles undo all of that . Imagine trying to act casual at a traffic light 😂🤪
What an incredibly unique experience that must’ve been.
So sick. Really cool of him to let you drive it
Awesome and outstanding collection.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
What a collection! Very special.
This guy's awesome! What a collection!
Saw the instagram story and couldn’t wait to see the video! What an insane thing, the silver/white carbon on the crown editions is unbelievable one of my favourite things about the car
Tim Shmee150 is just epic. Hats of to you brother. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Love this car. Not my personal favorite or anything, but its awesome. Thanks as always Tim.
Manny is drooling now 🤤
The visuals and amazing and I love the vehicle.
good to see kuwait getting attention, usually people only talk about the UAE when it comes to supercars in the middle east no one talks about saudi arabia, qatar or kuwait
Happy to see shmee in kuwait 🇰🇼😍👏🏻 and nice spotting on spectacular motor from unique motor lover Dr.adel Alquttainah 🏆
A car that will never stop being cool
He looked terrified the whole time you were driving 😂
thanks for the effortS! been loving the Dr.s' Shirts.
Incredible Collection 😲
What a garage! Greetings from Italy!
Saw a sterling moss a few months ago and I'm still going crazy over it😂
They sure do stand out
With how Dr Adel had the cars packed in and parked i dint think he drove any of his cars and they where all just decorations of a wealthy man. Very cool to hear he does drive some of them at least. It was also very generous of him to let shmee drive the Mercedes Stirling Moss
This is insane, the Stirling Moss almost doesn’t even seem real. Arguably more insane than anything else on the channel. Congrats Shmee, it’s amazing to see how far the channel has come.
Am I The Only One Who Thinks This Guy Looks A Lot Like Toto Wolff
Such a cool car. Can't wait for the Revelto J.
Was looking forward to this video!!
Another great episode Shmee
I've never been jealous of the cars you've driven until now. OMFG, my dream right there.
What a lovely chap!
Great experience and review Tim. Lovely chap Dr Adel is.
You looked like a kid in a candy store 😀
Epic content! That is an MCunicorn!
What a super cool guy and Kuwait looks like a stunning country 👍That is my dream car❤
Congratulations 🎉
Awesome history
stunning car
0:26 The color of the Aston is just mindblowing, What a AMAZING color :)
Dr Adel, a man of few words, and a collection to shout about.
Shmee having another unicorn moment.
Class act
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Oh my that sound when accelerating is something else Mercedes should sell recodings of it, I could listen to it for hours
Such a awesome car
Great parking!
I like the new intro Tim uses where he introduces what the videos going to be about and then goes into his normal “Hi guys I’m Shmee” just a cool little change semi recently.
Beautiful car!! I just cant take the driver and passenger seriously with those Sterling Moss Goggles
Such an Iconic car
I’ll never forget the time I saw an SLR Sterling moss in the middle of Eastern Oregon. It was such, Surprise and I was so upset I couldn’t get a picture of it as i was driving and it was going the opposite way 😭
Ain't no way Shmee has driven a SLR Stirling Moss and CLK GTR 😮, the goat of automotive youtube for a reason
Double negative moment
Sublime!👏
What an excellent guy , he’s obviously on par this GOD cash wise but he uses an shares his passion. Top Man huge respect. ❤😊😊
Same gauge cluster and air con controls as my SL350 🤣. What a machine.
Exactly how it should be for a halo car!
Dr. Adel must be a Shmee150 fan. Respect Tim.
You’re always welcome in Kuwait Shmee
What a car, get one shmeeee!!! Pleeeeease get one for the garage 😊
Never seen a more nervous man in my life :D awesome car
Welcome to Kuwait shmee 💐
The ultimate rare speedster. 💯
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to Drive Dr Adel's Absolutely Incredible Mercedes McLaren SLR Sterling Moss and I think you should get one someday
This and One77 would be a dream duo for a collection
Epic video and car Tim.
Wouldn't normal sunglasses have been better than the goggles though?
Legend
This car is truly original.
Let’s go keep up the good work
Thank you!
Good video
A big experience I think
No fair man! Such a beautiful car, loved using it in NFS Hot Pursuit. It’s unfortunate that this one is so overshadowed and so hardly recognized compared to the other SLR’s and general supercars of its time.
It should be more recognised! Doing what I can here
Those goggles 🤣
Dr. looks super frightened to let you drive 😂 yeah yeah.. true.. yeah.. true.. hmmm.. yeah 😂😂😂
Btw.. super cool car and amazing content as always, shmee 😎
In my hometown near Hannover there is a dealership that has 3 Stirling Moss SLRs just randomly sitting around, i think even for sale
!!!!!FINALLY!!!!!!
It's amazing how "American" regular traffic is in Kuwait City (if that makes any sense) with all those Altimas and GMCs around!
Welcome to Kuwait shmee🇰🇼
Could feel the Dr nervousness through the video lol
Good job with the B footage
Amazing 🇨🇭😍
I could be wrong, but I think you’ve changed the camcorder to a DJI Osmo pocket? Whether it be that or something else the new quality is insane it looks so much better than before.
Arabe 🎉🎉🎉💪💪💪
He’s keeping a straight face wearing those ski goggles! That’s more impressive than the car!
And Arabian gulf..
A dream come true. By the by, did you manage to catch the vin number on this chassis? Would like to track it
It's number 7; 900007
Dr. Quttainah has a beautiful medical center to match his Sterling Moss edition Mercedes, outstanding.
Great vid but as a motorcycle rider, I can tell you there are less intrusive goggles/sun glasses that would work for that use case. I think those goggles would work well if you were doing some submarine action like James Bond. Love the channel.
Tim i was watching sf90 fxx going around the ring it looks ballistic
I look forward to finding out how it did!
Tim's buying himself one of these for Christmas 😂
Craty car...crazy cool doctor owner
Me: Dr. Adel, how many cars do you own?
Dr. Adel: yeah yeah
True true
Dr just know one word : YA
He reminds me of Toto Wolf mixed with Arsene Wenger two legends
Can’t believe I missed you in Kuwait 😭😭
We were quite off grid, but it was an amazing trip
That thing lookth tho awthum. and the athton martin lookth awthum too!
I’m shocked they cheaped out with Oakleys! Cylindrical lens instead of spherical. Were those prism lenses at least?
Owner seems so worried during the drive 😄 i think he hasn't seen before how careful Tim is with cars
I felt the same. I could see the worry on his face
That bit where he said.. "slow down here" 🤣
Does the one-off 360 Barchetta count as the first roadster without a traditional windshield?
The good doctor reminds me of Tony Montana. Do any of his cars have a scrambler or an aerial to pick up flying saucers?
For a few minutes I thought the camera on the back was a guy on a moped following them 😂
