Three Icons for Sale on Mecum's Monterey Auction: Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren P1 HDK & Mercedes-Benz 280 SE CabrioletThree of the most compelling cars from the Milton Verret Collection are for sale at Mecum's Monterey auction this year, giving collectors a rare shot at a hypercar trifecta alongside a beautifully restored classic in a single sale. Headlining the group are a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, a 2014 McLaren P1 HDK, and a BRABUS-restored 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet, each offered with exceptional history and documentation. Here is a closer look at all three.2005 Porsche Carrera GTThis 2005 Porsche Carrera GT is for sale at Mecum's Monterey auction wearing a concours-quality restoration and showing just 3,471 miles on the odometer. Its naturally aspirated V10, six-speed manual gearbox, and carbon-fiber monocoque remain the benchmark for analog, driver-focused engineering nearly two decades after the model's debut.Finished in a rich Guards Red, this Carrera GT is one of roughly 1,270 examples built and comes backed by thorough documentation of its restoration. Bidders interested in this Le Mans-inspired icon can review full specifications and history for the car for sale at Mecum's auction before bidding weekend arrives.2014 McLaren P1 HDKThis 2014 McLaren P1 HDK is for sale at Mecum's Monterey auction as the first of just nine cars fitted with Lanzante's High Downforce Kit, a package developed with input from the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail program. The hybrid V8 powertrain and track-focused aerodynamics make it one of the most significant McLarens ever offered at public auction.Chassis No. 003 of nine, this P1 HDK carries continuous ownership records and recent service history, along with the aerodynamic bodywork that distinguishes HDK cars from standard P1s. It stands as one of the most track-capable hypercars ever produced by McLaren, and it is for sale at Mecum's auction alongside the rest of this collection.1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 CabrioletThis BRABUS-restored 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet is for sale at Mecum's Monterey auction with just 5 miles logged since a comprehensive, no-expense-spared restoration. The pairing of Mercedes' 3.5-liter V8 with a timelessly elegant Pininfarina-influenced cabriolet body makes it one of the most desirable classic Mercedes convertibles in the world.Documented with a BRABUS Classic build sheet and photos of the restoration process, this 280 SE wears deep Mercedes burgundy over a tan interior and soft top. It rides on period-correct steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, and the fully sorted mechanicals make it ready to drive straight from the auction block. This Cabriolet is for sale at Mecum's auction alongside two other automotive icons from the same collection.AdvertisementAdvertisementTogether, these three machines represent very different chapters of automotive history, from a German coachbuilt cabriolet to a Le Mans-inspired supercar to a modern hybrid hypercar, yet all three share the same story: rarity, provenance, and a place on the auction block. Collectors looking to add a true benchmark to their garage should not miss this trio when they cross the stage at Mecum's Monterey auction this year.Visit our website to register to bid, consign your vehicle and browse all consignments.
