I cannot comprehend why anyone would sell that car. What can you buy with that money that will make you happier. If I had that car I wouldn't sell it for double that price.

A 73 RS or a 959 maybe both if really lucky.

These are amazing cars, there are a few that show up at cc here, just works of art.

Absolutely stunning! You guys get some amazing cars.

Thanks for all of the comments guys, if you have never had the pleasure of seeing one of these in person and this is my first time, it is truly a stunning work of art.
I would pay good money just to be able to drive it once

Saw a few of these at the Amelia Island Concours d' Elegance this year, as well as same vintage 300 SL's. They are GORGEOUS and IMO as desirable as anything from that era.

Current market value on these is $1.5 million give or take - they sell fairly frequently through the major international auctions.

Collectors at this level sometimes just want to shuffle the deck a little, so I assume possibly this is the reason for sale.
