I do not understand the following from this article:
The car will remain on display with the second SLR coupe at the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart, Källenius says, which was a condition of the sale. The new owner will be able to drive it occasionally, a spokesperson confirms.

Might be doing him a favor by keeping it safe and preserved.

I’d probably still prefer a cream coloured 1975 Cordoba (with the fine Corinthian leather).

It's the same racket with art; buy it, loan it to museums as a tax deduction, and in four of five years, the tax write-off will equal the value of the car.
Rinse and repeat.
The whole time, taxpayers who don't have such write-off options are paying the taxes this car owner isn't.

That’s quite the racket... charge him oodles and then forbid him from using it the majority of the time. But if he was foo.ish enough to agree to the terms, then so be it I guess.

I bet a Chevy Vega would fetch for a decent price these days, provided you can find one. I recall reading about how most rotted away within two or three years after buying brand new.

Rather have the Ferrari GTO.
A picture of that car in the early 60’s was what got me into cars.
