Michael Jordan's old Mercedes-Benz S600 fetched an impressive price at auction

Michael Jordan's 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 has sold for US$202,200 (AU$279,275) at auction, despite the bidding kicking off at a mere US$23 – a tribute to the basketball legend's iconic jersey number. Although it notched up 252,803km in its lifetime, the V12-powered S600 attracted plenty of interested buyers thanks to its one-of-a-kind custom touches, which include chrome rims and an in-built phone that still bears the NBA star's name.
