The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 17th May 2025

+ buyer’s premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) 81 When launched, the new SLR carried a UK price tag of around £313,000, placing it firmly in the ‘hypercar’ bracket. Despite a production target of 3,500 units, only around 2,100 cars were built globally between 2003 and 2010, with around 50 believed to have been destined for the UK, with around 30 understood to still reside here, the rest since being exported. The car on offer is an exceptionally well presented, UK-supplied 2007 SLR, finished in the distinctive hue of Crystal Palladium Grey over a black alcantara/leather interior. With most SLRs being optioned in the launch colours of Crystal Laurite Silver or in Crystal Galaxite Black, it is undeniable that this metallic dark grey stands out for all the right reasons. The paintwork presents exceptionally well, with just a handful of the inevitable minor stone chips and no swirl marks in the paintwork thanks to meticulous detailing. The 19” Turbine wheels are in excellent condition, shod in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres all round and the underside and engine bay present in the same exceptional condition as the exterior, with everything under that long bonnet appearing factory fresh. Mechanically the car has been fastidiously maintained and serviced routinely, keeping up to date with both major and minor service timings despite a lack of mileage covered. The only deviations from standard are the uprated £2,828 Quicksilver sports exhaust allowing the car to breathe better and enhance the thunderous noise, a £5,874 interior retrim taking it from standard leather to an improved alcantara/leather combination and the fitting of an OEM replacement front clam/door gas struts in 2018, all conducted by Avantgarde, Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Specialists in 2018. The early (2007-2014) service records unfortunately went missing prior to our vendor’s purchase, however the MOT history is known from its first in 2010 to the present, showing a yearly usage of between 1,000-3,000 miles at a maximum and warranting the current mileage of 20,633 in the hands of its four owners from new. With the exception of the undocumented first couple of services, the history file reads like a feelgood novel. It features absolutely everything dating back to the original invitation to buy an SLR in 2003 and all the launches, promotional advertising/marketing pieces and international test drive events, as well as every bill and invoice for servicing, parts and maintenance since 2014. A service record summary sheet from DK Engineering forms part of the history file showing when the A and B Services were undertaken. In 2023, Avantgarde carried out the engine- out B service costing just over £11,000 on behalf of DK Engineering and the car is being serviced by Furlonger on 11th April in preparation for our sale, despite only covering a mere 80 miles since its last service. The SLR remains an exceptional blend of performance, comfort and motorsport pedigree, representing a lasting symbol of what happens when two legends collaborate. With UK-delivered cars being so rare and desirable, this beautiful example with its impeccable modern history, stunning condition, diligent servicing and fabulous specification surely represents remarkable value. An outstanding example of one of the original Holy Trinity. Fastidiously maintained, timeless looks and an engine that sounds like you’ve opened the gates of Hell.
