‘A friend of his had been working on repairing someone’s roof. The individual whose roof he was fixing up turned out to be a big memorabilia collector, especially of sports-related matters, and even more of anything connected to the Chicago Bulls basketball team, of which he was a huge fan.

‘My friend-of-a-friend had discovered that this superfan possessed an automobile directly related to not only the Chicago Bulls but directly to the player that the team no doubt considers its greatest ever superstar: the legendary Michael Jordan.

‘Michael Jordan’s 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser comes in a gorgeous color combination of metallic navy deep blue with a beautiful gray interior. It comes with a clean Carfax and is equipped with an automatic transmission, air conditioning, heated seats, cruise control, dual airbags, power windows, power steering, power mirrors, power seats, power sunroof, power tilt steering wheel, power mirrors, 4-wheel disc brakes, Lorinser chrome wheels, and jack.

‘Michael Jordan played 15 seasons in the NBA, winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls. According to the official NBA website: ‘By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He was integral to the rising global popularity of the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s. Jordan placed second to Babe Ruth in the Associated Press December 1999 list of 20th-century athletes.

‘In addition, the Associated Press voted him the greatest basketball player of the 20th century. Jordan has also appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated a record 50 times.

‘In the September 1996 issue of Sport, which was the publication’s 50th-anniversary issue, he was named ‘the greatest athlete of the past 50 years’.

‘What a phenomenal opportunity this is to buy Michael Jordan’s actual car! Making it truly personal, this S600 Lorinser was originally titled in the name of both Michael Jordan and Juanita, his then-wife. The title was signed by both.

‘Besides, you probably have your own, more subjective attachment to Michael Jordan. For example, when I was a young boy my father bought me my first pair of Air Jordan sneakers. I absolutely loved them.

‘I thought even at that age that they were so cool. From there, I found out the amazing story of Michael Jordan himself, the greatest basketball superstar. So it’s truly astonishing to be selling his car today.

‘I am flattered to have acquired such a historically relevant car with ultimate celebrity provenance.

‘Michael Jordan’s Mercedes is an incredibly exciting vehicle to be connected with. Some people have signed basketballs or sneakers or photographs of the basketball giant. But how many people do you know who own Michael Jordan’s car? This is the Holy Grail of Michael Jordan memorabilia.

‘And you know what – secretly – the coolest thing is about the car? When you power up the car phone, Michael Jordan’s surname is emblazoned on the dashboard.
