SLR STIRLING MOSS! My First Drive in the Legendary Hyper-Speedster

This is the Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, and my first time at the wheel of the iconic hyper speedster! With only 75 in the world, this particular car is part of ‪@AdelsGarage‬ in Kuwait, who has made this amazing opportunity possible. Come along for the ride with us to experience it all!
Mercedes-Benz and McLaren teamed up to produce the SLR McLaren, originally in Coupe form, before the 722 arrived as a more focused limited edition of only 150 units. These were followed by the SLR Roadster and then the 722 S - the latter again limited to only 150, however, the icing on the cake came with the final model, the SLR Stirling Moss, a tribute to the legend and his escapades in the 300 SLR of the 1950s, this time with only 75 made.
In the years since, we've seen the likes of the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2, McLaren Elva, and Aston Martin V12 Speedster, however, the SLR Stirling Moss stands out as the first to really try to this form factor. While I've been lucky to experience each of the others, there's something about this particular car that has always fascinated me, and how better to drive it for the first time than joining Dr Adel Quttainah for a run to the Kuwait Towers at sunset.
Equipped with the original Oakley SLR Stirling Moss goggles, and a 5.4l Supercharged V8 that's ready to purr away, come along for the experience of this special machine, and a genuine first hand experience of what it's like at the wheel.
Make sure to follow Dr Adel Quttainah and Adel's Garage on social media:

Zero arrogance from the Dr. What a legend.

The doctor isn’t what you would call boastful. Wonderful garage

[@Qwepzy]

This era was so special, From the F1 Vodafone grey liveries to these types of cars with both car makers coming together!

[@YazAMG]

Manny Koshbin is missing this from his collection

[@Enxo._.]

Fr

[@emmanueldomond4687]

From what i see bro he's missing a lot lolll

[@ronevans4438]

I don’t know he has the sterling moss edition or the Aston Martin speedster

[@DiscoR53]

If they were legal in the U.S. he’d probably have one.

[@commandouma]

​@DiscoR53 Road legality aside, there are 3 in the States and I've seen one of them in Michigan at various shows. It can be done...

[@avmelidor]

I'd like to thank the Dr for allowing us to view his collection through you

[@BrandoDTG]

It’s crazy how well silver as a color pairs with a Mercedes logo. Literally a match made in heaven

[@funkygibbonsdotnet]

A real gentleman. Everything shared is a blessing.

[@seankorol]

The Stirling and V12 Speedster make a perfect pair. Beautiful cars.

[@chriswhite3791]

What a nice guy Adel is!

[@Mr.Reality3000]

Amazing Tim!! And the owner seems to be such a cool guy😉

[@Teamshmo]

So sick. Really cool of him to let you drive it

[@konstantinossiachos6568]

A car that will never stop being cool

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome and outstanding collection.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@yass123]

Manny is drooling now 🤤

[@narainmanickam6209]

Saw the instagram story and couldn’t wait to see the video! What an insane thing, the silver/white carbon on the crown editions is unbelievable one of my favourite things about the car

[@frankthetank4588]

Incredible Collection 😲

[@PureAsGold]

This guy's awesome! What a collection!

[@JohnNick72]

What a collection! Very special.

[@craigpalmer2330]

This is insane, the Stirling Moss almost doesn’t even seem real. Arguably more insane than anything else on the channel. Congrats Shmee, it’s amazing to see how far the channel has come.

[@fishhead90]

That car has so much unbelievably cool presence, attitude, and style… and the goggles undo all of that . Imagine trying to act casual at a traffic light 😂🤪 What an incredibly unique experience that must’ve been.

[@Austin_Wingfield]

Love this car. Not my personal favorite or anything, but its awesome. Thanks as always Tim.

[@shheerkhan5373]

good to see kuwait getting attention, usually people only talk about the UAE when it comes to supercars in the middle east no one talks about saudi arabia, qatar or kuwait

[@Negus4747]

Such an Iconic car

[@HBDSGNS]

Was looking forward to this video!!

[@carlosmcmahon623]

The visuals and amazing and I love the vehicle.

[@samuelfitzpatrick9739]

Tim Shmee150 is just epic. Hats of to you brother. Keep on doing what you are doing.

Oh my that sound when accelerating is something else Mercedes should sell recodings of it, I could listen to it for hours

[@AHSx85]

Happy to see shmee in kuwait 🇰🇼😍👏🏻 and nice spotting on spectacular motor from unique motor lover Dr.adel Alquttainah 🏆

[@lordbatman4194]

Another great episode Shmee

[@Moray2023]

Such a cool car. Can't wait for the Revelto J.

[@SourBogBubble]

thanks for the effortS! been loving the Dr.s' Shirts.

[@fit_pharmd4830]

I like the new intro Tim uses where he introduces what the videos going to be about and then goes into his normal “Hi guys I’m Shmee” just a cool little change semi recently.

[@bling1634]

Such a awesome car

[@musicontheroad_gsbt]

What a garage! Greetings from Italy!

[@01Gamemaster10]

!!!!!FINALLY!!!!!!

[@LenzPhotography]

I’ll never forget the time I saw an SLR Sterling moss in the middle of Eastern Oregon. It was such, Surprise and I was so upset I couldn’t get a picture of it as i was driving and it was going the opposite way 😭

[@Styggson]

Epic content! That is an MCunicorn!

[@firstprototype]

Congratulations 🎉

[@Lsk_Gaming_]

Saw a sterling moss a few months ago and I'm still going crazy over it😂

[@Shmee150]

They sure do stand out

[@vimisco75O]

Sublime!👏

[@Zarus95]

The ultimate rare speedster. 💯

[@leedrake1184]

He looked terrified the whole time you were driving 😂

[@davidnimmo5115]

What a super cool guy and Kuwait looks like a stunning country 👍That is my dream car❤

[@Littleblueneon]

With how Dr Adel had the cars packed in and parked i dint think he drove any of his cars and they where all just decorations of a wealthy man. Very cool to hear he does drive some of them at least. It was also very generous of him to let shmee drive the Mercedes Stirling Moss

[@saijagadish2734]

Great parking!

[@juliandale50]

What an excellent guy , he’s obviously on par this GOD cash wise but he uses an shares his passion. Top Man huge respect. ❤😊😊

[@williamrogercummings277]

This car is truly original.

[@neilvaughan6675]

Great experience and review Tim. Lovely chap Dr Adel is. You looked like a kid in a candy store 😀

A big experience I think

Never seen a more nervous man in my life :D awesome car

[@MW-uy3np]

Beautiful car!! I just cant take the driver and passenger seriously with those Sterling Moss Goggles

[@jeffmac3071]

Dr. Adel must be a Shmee150 fan. Respect Tim.

[@DanielHogg-st8mo]

What a car, get one shmeeee!!! Pleeeeease get one for the garage 😊

[@marul8352]

Ain't no way Shmee has driven a SLR Stirling Moss and CLK GTR 😮, the goat of automotive youtube for a reason

[@ThatRedNismo]

Double negative moment

[@dreadhavoc]

No fair man! Such a beautiful car, loved using it in NFS Hot Pursuit. It’s unfortunate that this one is so overshadowed and so hardly recognized compared to the other SLR’s and general supercars of its time.

[@Shmee150]

It should be more recognised! Doing what I can here

[@alanzyoutube]

Epic video and car Tim. Wouldn't normal sunglasses have been better than the goggles though?

[@grahaminkpen5436]

Same gauge cluster and air con controls as my SL350 🤣. What a machine.

[@Shmee150]

Exactly how it should be for a halo car!

[@muke001]

It's amazing how "American" regular traffic is in Kuwait City (if that makes any sense) with all those Altimas and GMCs around!

[@melvinmascarenhas3299]

Good video

[@chrisrea2493]

Those goggles 🤣

[@olivierl2172]

Good job with the B footage

[@322878]

yeah yeah

[@LocalWatchGuy]

Welcome to Kuwait shmee🇰🇼

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to Drive Dr Adel's Absolutely Incredible Mercedes McLaren SLR Sterling Moss and I think you should get one someday

[@SwissTraveler1]

Amazing 🇨🇭😍

[@mjh00124o]

Tim's buying himself one of these for Christmas 😂

[@jameslaurensvn]

True

[@lloydbellis7360]

Dr Adel, a man of few words, and a collection to shout about. Shmee having another unicorn moment. Class act 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@haceebbasheer]

Dr. looks super frightened to let you drive 😂 yeah yeah.. true.. yeah.. true.. hmmm.. yeah 😂😂😂 Btw.. super cool car and amazing content as always, shmee 😎

[@JS-qg5ky]

He reminds me of Toto Wolf mixed with Arsene Wenger two legends

[@AgentStark]

Could feel the Dr nervousness through the video lol

[@jacobb2805]

True true

[@alexwosten2724]

In my hometown near Hannover there is a dealership that has 3 Stirling Moss SLRs just randomly sitting around, i think even for sale

[@jeffmac3071]

Dr. Quttainah has a beautiful medical center to match his Sterling Moss edition Mercedes, outstanding.

[@Hibernate_studio]

Yeah, true, true true, yeah

[@alexluke84]

Craty car...crazy cool doctor owner

[@katelynraymond6592]

Can’t believe I missed you in Kuwait 😭😭

[@Shmee150]

We were quite off grid, but it was an amazing trip

[@waynebates9893]

Tim i was watching sf90 fxx going around the ring it looks ballistic

[@Shmee150]

I look forward to finding out how it did!

[@client3052]

Yoo, no way Shmee!

[@Dr650rob]

Crazy how Americanized it is

[@denisbarry9436]

Great vid but as a motorcycle rider, I can tell you there are less intrusive goggles/sun glasses that would work for that use case. I think those goggles would work well if you were doing some submarine action like James Bond. Love the channel.

[@SaqerAlKhalifa]

He’s keeping a straight face wearing those ski goggles! That’s more impressive than the car!

[@SaqerAlKhalifa]

And Arabian gulf..

[@damiongriffiths5799]

Men shmee 150 living his dream 😴 car life great 👍!!

[@wika1117]

Owner seems so worried during the drive 😄 i think he hasn't seen before how careful Tim is with cars

[@gpatrick52]

I felt the same. I could see the worry on his face

[@PurpleSectors]

That bit where he said.. "slow down here" 🤣

[@oliverg6643]

Me: Dr. Adel, how many cars do you own? Dr. Adel: yeah yeah

[@JohnSmith-qp6oj]

True true

[@chefsaliva5317]

A dream come true. By the by, did you manage to catch the vin number on this chassis? Would like to track it

[@Shmee150]

It's number 7; 900007
