About the Mercedes 300 SLR Silver Revell 1:12
TL;DR: Revell's 1:12 diecast Mercedes 300 SLR in silver reproduces the sports racer Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson drove to a record-setting win at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Built at the larger 1:12 scale, it gives this genuinely historic Mercedes racer real display presence.
Few racing achievements have aged as well as Moss and Jenkinson's 1955 Mille Miglia run, and the 300 SLR that carried them to victory remains one of Mercedes' most celebrated competition cars.
The Racer Behind a Legendary Mille Miglia Run
Mercedes built the 300 SLR as a close relative of its W196 Formula One car, sharing engineering DNA but wrapped in open sports racer bodywork for endurance competition. Stirling Moss, navigated by journalist Denis Jenkinson using hand-written pace notes, drove one to a record average speed at the 1955 Mille Miglia, an open-road endurance race across Italian public roads that demanded both raw speed and total command of unfamiliar terrain for over a thousand miles. That win remains one of the most celebrated single drives in motorsport history, and it's inseparable from the silver Mercedes that made it possible.
A Larger-Scale Diecast Befitting a Landmark Racer
Revell builds this SLR at 1:12, a scale that gives serious racing subjects genuine physical presence well beyond what 1:18 allows, with the silver bodywork and open cockpit rendered at a size that rewards close inspection. Diecast construction suits the car's purposeful, functional racing design. For a Mercedes motorsport collection, or simply a shelf built around legendary endurance racing drives, this piece commemorates a result that still gets discussed nearly seventy years later.
