Supercar manufacturer Mosler repeatedly grabbed the headlines with a succession of high-profile race wins and road-car performance records following its arrival on the scene back in 1985. The company started out as Consulier, building the Consulier GTP sports prototype, before being reconstituted by bond-trading founder Warren Mosler as Mosler Automotive in 1993. Mosler's first car was the Intruder, a re-bodied Consulier GTP, which proved as successful on the race track as its immediate forebear and likewise ended up being banned by the sport's authorities.
In the late 1990s Mosler teamed up with car designer Rod Trenne and the result was the MT900. First seen in prototype form in 2001, this mid-engined coupé was constructed on a carbon fibre chassis with tubular steel front/rear sub-frames. It was powered by a 5.7-litre LS6 V8 engine as found in the Chevrolet Corvette and other high-performance General Motors products, while the six-speed transmission was sourced from the Porsche 911, suitably adapted to suit the Mosler's mid-engined layout. Scissors-type doors were a feature of the low-drag (0.25 Cd) body. Keeping weight to a minimum had been a principal aim (the target was 900kg, hence the name) but although the MT900 ended up heavier than anticipated it was nevertheless considerably lighter than rivals such as the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT and Chevrolet Corvette C6. This competitive advantage explains why the production MT900S could out-sprint all three to 60mph and through the quarter-mile despite having 'only' 435bhp at its disposal. The base price was $189,000 (approximately £121,000 at today's exchange rate) and in December 2006 movie director George Lucas took delivery of the first production MT900S to leave the Florida factory. Further developments included supercharged and 7.0-litre variants. There was also a successful MT900R racing version (also produced in the UK) that finished first in class at Daytona in 2003 and won the British, FIA Tourist Trophy, International Open, Britcar and Spanish GT Championships. Production of the MT900S ceased in 2010 and the company itself ceased to exist in 2013 when its assets were acquired by Rossion Automotive.
One of approximately 20 MT900S models produced, this left-hand drive example had covered only 7,048 miles from new when the first owner offered it for sale at Bonhams' auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2013. Purchased there by the current vendor, the car is finished in metallic silver with dark grey quilted Alcantara interior and has the normally aspirated 5.7-litre 435bhp LS6 engine and six-speed manual transmission. Other noteworthy features include power assisted steering, double-wishbone suspension, Penske dampers, adjustable anti-roll bars, servo-assisted Wilwood disc brakes and OZ Racing wheels. Fitted creature comforts include air conditioning, electric windows, electric wing mirrors, alarm/immobiliser and a vehicle tracker.
At time of sale in 2013 the car had just been detailed and has benefited from a recent ECU update by Mosler. From 2015 to 2022 the Mosler was kept in climate controlled storage at Autovolt in Essex and since then has been with Kendall Developments, proprietor Luke Kendall having previously been employed at marque specialist Martin Short's Rollcentre Mosler Europe. Kendall Developments inspected and serviced the car in July 2022, and also fitted an SPA digital dashboard display system (see bill on file for £5,994). New Pirelli P-Zero tyres were fitted all round at an additional cost of £2,220 (bill available).
MoT'd to February 2024, this most exclusive and collectible modern supercar has covered a mere 9,000-or-so miles from new and is described by the private vendor as in very good condition in every respect. A formidable road or track tool, it comes with two keys and two alarm remotes, and is offered with full service history and a V5C Registration Certificate.
