Overview about this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for sale

The SLR McLaren came out of the Formula One partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, and it is unlike either firm's other work: a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 mounted behind the front axle, a carbon body, butterfly doors, and a carbon-ceramic brake system with an air brake at the tail. It is a grand tourer built to racing-car rules.

This car was supplied new to the United States in 2005 in Crystal Galaxite Black over Exclusive Red hide, with a silver centre console and grey Alcantara headlining. The dealer records the butterfly doors, multifunction wheel, cruise control with limiter, dual-zone climate and the original audio system as factory specification.

It was imported and UK registered in 2022 and has covered just over 13,000 miles from new. The dealer states an extensive service history across both countries and an engine-out major service by the SLR specialist Avantgarde in July 2025.

This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren shows 21,284 km. It is powered by a 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine. The car is finished in Crystal Galaxite Black with an Exclusive Red hide, silver centre console, grey Alcantara headlining interior.

The asking price is £484,950. The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in the European market

How this car sits against the other Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren priced above or below the European market?

At £484,950, about €567,385, it sits above the median of €349,945 for the 4 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren advertised in Europe in 2026. 75% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €392,000 in United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at £484,950, 45% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren compare?

21,284 km recorded, against a median of 33,675 km across the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren are priced closest to this one?

a 2005 car in Germany at €349,990, and a 2005 car in Germany at €349,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and how does a purchase work?

Joe Macari, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.
