Most notably, an original 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet surpassed its pre-sale high estimate of $95,000 to achieve the remarkable sum of $509,740.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sale wraps up another fantastic year for RM globally,\u201d said Max Girardo, Managing Director, RM Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud of our reputation for consistently achieving record prices and offering the finest motor cars available to the market, and yesterday&#8217;s results were certainly no exception. With an 87% sell-through rate and numerous lots exceeding their estimates, it\u2019s fair to say that the collector car market is still remarkably strong,\u201d added Girardo.<\/p>\n<p>The top sale of the evening was a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster, the only right-hand drive example built, achieving $1,019,480, followed closely by a 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Coupe selling for $864,738.<\/p>\n<p>The event also presented a fine selection of memorabilia and coachbuilt motor cars from the private collection of Mr. Edgar Schermerhorn. Headlined by a 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio for $728,200, the collection achieved a total $2.48 million.<\/p>\n<p>RM Auctions offered 84 cars for sale, with 69 finding new owners, reflecting an 82% sale rate.

Last example built, one of only two known to have the 3.0-litre V8 and one of only five cars known to exist of the eight originally built. Although the selling price was well below pre-sale figures, the estimate would be better termed as a guesstimate since these are so rare and trade infrequently. With as much publicity as this car received, it is safe to say this is the market for this car.
