Whoever it may be, the lucky bastard should soon, probably around two million euros on its bank account credit. The CLK GTR Roadster is up for auction.

Just after the middle of the years ’90 were different manufacturers with so-called homologatiespecials on the gpu. This to street-legal car’s modified race cars were required to the models to be able to do in the FIA GT championship.

That provided this Mercedes CLK GTR, a monster with more than 600 horsepower that even a short book was considered the most expensive production car of that time. There were 25 built. 20 pieces had a fixed roof, the other five were homeless. Four of the homeless versions were grey and one was black in color. That is so this. All of the 25 street-legal car was linksgestuurd, except the instance that is specially for the Sultan of Brunei was built.

The black roadster at the end of June under the hammer. Bonhams expects the beast to 2 million euros to deliver. The car once belonged to an anonymous Dutch collector and still has no miles on the public road. That is a sturdy (and expensive) beurtje before this CLK GTR out on the road again.

UPDATE 29-06-2015: this particular Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR brought 1.513.500 pound, converted approximately 2.125.000,- euro, with that come the expectations of Bonhams corresponds to the proceeds.
