Ronald Graham

Spear’s Review

Ronald Graham is managing partner at Taylor Wessing’s Dubai office and a specialist when it comes to classic cars. In 2022 he acted on the sale of the most expensive car ever sold at auction: a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé sold for €135 million. 

He explained that ‘it was a privilege and honour for us to be asked to handle this sale. I have worked with RM Sotheby’s for over 10 years on many exciting instructions, but nothing comes close to being involved in the successful sale of the world’s most valuable car.’

Graham also has an active UK practice, and he advises HNW individuals, families and companies on a variety of different investment strategies.
