On February 1, 2025, Sir Stirling Moss' W196 streamliner was auctioned off at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart for 51.2 million euros. The entire fleet of the German postal service probably fetched as much in 1984 as a single spark plug of the "Streamliner" is worth today - contrasts that could not be more exciting, especially in these weeks when so many auctions are taking place. Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory's Ferrari 250 LM - the car that won Le Mans in 1965, also from the collection of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum - went under the hammer for 34.8 million euros at the Rétromobile in Paris. This picture story should make you smile and shows the big contrast.
