Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut-Coupé LE 4000 M-088
All good things gone by two! As you might noticed, we slightly altered this well known and often used saying. But we just don`t want to leave our standard Uhlenhaut Coupe with red interior (item number M-076) for much longer all alone in its show case. So what would be more obvious than making also the second Uhlenhaut Coupe? In this case the personal company car of Rudolf Uhlenhaut as a high-end model of the extra class. So finally the blue one will join his red brother. And to make this release even more special, we devoted this model to the 125th anniversary of Mercedes that will take place in 2011. This model is worldwide limited to just 4,000 pieces and a more than worthy representative of this anniversary and the 125 year of automotive history. Already at first sight, you will notice the mighty silencer on the cars side and the license plate with the number W22-6962. So you can see that this was Uhlenhaut`s preferred company car. Indeed it was this car that he used for business trips driving through half the European continent. Beside the blue interior of the cockpit, you will be able to find a lot of other distinctive features if you compare the car with its red brother like the prominent air inlet on the engine hood or the acryl made wind- / insect protector. So feel free to explore all the details on your own and make sure to place a quick order to be one of the first collectors with a complete and inseparable pair of the most famous car duet of all times.
