The Car That Led Three Lives : 1955 300SLS Prototype

September 25, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

The Car That Led Three Lives : 1955 300SLS Prototype

This sleek, light metallic blue roadster has been determined to be chassis 00009/52, one of eight 300SL prototype coupes raced by Mercedes-Benz in 1952. From there it became the prototype for the 300SL Roadster and finally assumed a third role as a mule for the factory’s 300SLS race team in 1957…

2013 London RM Auction Results

No Bond car has ever done anything as outrageous on screen as transform itself into a submarine; none except for this Lotus in the epic The Spy Who Loved Me. Breaking with tradition, Q is never given the opportunity to explain the car’s features to 007. So, when the Lotus is fired off a jetty into the sea, the audience was stunned, and captivated…

Blue Chip Market Update : Prices and Trends

In late April, RM Auctions sold a mint Ferrari 330 GTS for nearly $2 million. One month later a one-off Aston DB4 GT (the very cool Bertone-designed Jet) found a new home for a shade under $5 million, just a couple weeks before a Ferrari 340/375MM sold for $13+ million at Villa d’Este. Then Bonhams blew those prices out of the water when a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 F1 brought $29.6+ million, setting a world record price for a car at auction…

David Douglas Duncan and “The Secret SLS”

August 23, 2013 by Scott Grundfor

David Douglas Duncan and “The Secret SLS”

Prototypes are the products of an intense automotive design process. They are ideas given physical form and meant to test the culmination of those ideas. Most serve their purpose and end as scrap or become forgotten embodiments of a larger production that ends up relegated to a warehouse collecting dust rarely, if ever, to be seen again. Occasionally one is found on flaccid tires, fading away in a dusty, shuttered garage, whereupon aficionados immediately elevate it from “ancient junk” to “treasured artifact.”
