Chassis: 00010/55
This is the ninth (chassis 00009/55 was never completed) and final 300 SLR built in 1955. It was never used in contemporary events and served mainly to test new components for the upcoming season. Following the termination of the Mercedes-Benz competition program, chassis 00010 was retired to the company museum. Today, it is configured like chassis 00003/55, which is now on permanent display in the Deutsches Museum, when it was single handedly driven to second in the 1955 Mille Miglia by Juan Manuel Fangio. After Mercedes-Benz decided to use the Mille Miglia winning car more sparingly, chassis 10 has been shown regularly all around the world.
