    I've liked the SLR ever since I saw Clarkson drive one to Oslo. What a wonderful noise. I find the SLR fits into that time where cars were beginning to take on the look they currently have, with insane amounts of power and driver aids but it's before the time of all the touchscreen displays.

    IMO, this car is the best looking of all the versions you would actually drive on public roads. It actually looks like it could be made today and slot right into that hyper GT marketplace. I think this car is going to be a great find for the right buyer and its current bid of £250,000 is WAY under where its value is. If someone can get this for under £750,000 it's a steal!

    I'm surprised that no mention is made here (or in Wikipedia) of the role of Advanced Composites Group in the SLR McLaren cars. ACG, based just outside Somerset West, 40minutes drive from Cape Town, manufactured all of the carbon fibre parts for the SLR McLarens - and that means just about all of the structure, plus sundry bits and pieces. I was very fortunate, in the mid-noughties, to participate in a quality management certification audit at ACG's impressive and beautiful factory. As the reader will know, the manufacture of carbon fibre products is a fascinating mixture of traditional, low-tech and ultra modern, high tech processes. A nice touch was that, sometime prior to the audit, McLaren had actually shipped a completed car out to ACG for the workforce to inspect, sit in and (I think) actually (for some) to be driven in.

    A "More STG" channel is the next move I hope, for quality car auction content: 1) STG 2) BTG 3) More STG, nice 1👍

    Saw one of these at the Saratoga, New York Auto Museum in a show they put on. I also think I remember seeing one which belonged to Ralph Lauren at a show at the Boston Museum of Fine Art .They are striking in person !

    We have 2 out of the 20 something in North America get serviced at the Benz dealership I work at and service is a FORTUNE but they're so beautiful and refined.

    That front bumper/chin spoiler is killer. It makes it look much more aggressive.

    Jeeez, that’s the flying U-Boat ready to sink anything showing up in the rearview mirror on the Autobahn... listen to the sound of the engine... the whine of the supercharger...gets me goosebumps everytime I hear it! The most misunderstood hypercar, yes, that’s true. When I first saw this masterpiece at the Geneva Motorshow I went upside down and couldn’t sleep for days without dreaming of owning one. Didn’t win the lottery yet though... maintenance costs are prohibitive... who cares... I want one!!!
    Was driving my SL the other day on a Swiss motorway when I got destroyed by an SLR... that thing flew by at nearly supersonic speed, Gulf state numberplates ;-) and I was going the legal 120km/h...
