Recently, an eBay listing is auctioning Jordan's SLR McLaren, which was not a part of his 10-part docu-series. The car was a collaboration between Formula 1 team and Mercedes and was made from 2003 to 2010. Jordan's is apparently the 722 Edition, and has just been driven over 1000 miles. The current listing asks for $695,750.

Jordan's is also a limited edition piece, which was made to honour the late Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson's win. The car is Crystal Antimony Grey with 19-inch wheels. The ride offers a low ride height, with impressive aero and large front breaks. The interiors feature carbon fibre. 

The 722 edition also offers 641 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque. Crave Luxury Auto are selling the car.

Another Michael Jordan Mercedes auction

Last August, Jordan's 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser was also sold on eBay. During the episode that covers Jordan's brief baseball stint, the six-time NBA champion drives away in a black, customised W140 S-class to avoid reporters trying to seek answers about his sudden NBA retirement. The auction opened with a $23 bid (₹1721.15).

Ever since the release of Jordan's documentary in April, memorabilia related to the five-time NBA MVP has been selling for record prices. Over the past few months, items like Jordan's game-worn sneakers in his rookie year and his iconic 1996-97 uniform set have sold for $500,000 and $288,000 respectively.
