Tim Burton, better known as Shmee150, is a British car YouTuber and one of the earliest supercar vloggers, uploading since January 2010 after leaving a job at a London investment consultancy. His personal fleet, "The Shmeemobiles", is kept at "The Shmuseum" outside London and is defined by heavy real-world use — he reported the fleet covered roughly 34,300 miles in 2025 alone. He is significant in car culture as the archetype of the owner-driver collector: buying new hypercars and limited-run cars and documenting the full ownership experience over years.

2026–present
no reliable figure — not estimated
No exact figure for his car. His spec-reveal video (Dec 2025) predated GM pricing and gave no numbers; at his National Corvette Museum delivery ('IT'S HERE! Collecting My New CORVETTE ZR1X', Aug 2026) he said only that the model 'comes in under $300,000'.

Not sold — he said he wouldn't sell 'even if I could get over half a million pounds for it'.
Ford Mustang GTD
2025–present
no reliable figure — not estimated
No figure — still an undelivered order (allocation moved to the UK, likely 2027 car, not yet specced per 'BIG NEWS About MY MUSTANG GTD!', Aug 2026). He says exact pricing is under NDA and only that the car is 'a lot more expensive than $300,000... it's not in the 300s' ('Making DECISIONS About My Mustang GTD!', The Shmuseum, Aug 2026).
- Mercedes-AMG One
2024–present
no reliable figure — not estimated
Factory-fixed price of €2.275m plus local taxes applied to all 275 build slots and was universally reported (e.g. Top Gear: '£2.4 million — €2.275m plus local taxes'), including in coverage of his 14 Oct 2024 delivery; Shmee himself has only publicly described Project One pricing as 'two [million] plus'. His exact personal invoice (UK taxes/options) was never disclosed. Still owned.

In 'YOU WON'T BELIEVE the Option Prices on My Ferrari SF90 Stradale! FULL SPEC TOUR' (The Shmuseum, c. 2022): base £382,000 + just over £82k of options = 'the total price of my Ferrari SF90 Stradale... £458,919'. Reconfirmed as 'roughly £460,000' in 'Time to SELL My SF90 Stradale!?' (Shmee150, July 2026), where he said values had halved to ~£230k and he decided NOT to sell.
Zenvo TSR-S
2022–present
no reliable figure — not estimated
He has never stated what he paid; press headlines calling it his '$2M Zenvo' (duPont Registry) are model valuations, not his figure. Confirmed still owned and 'not for sale' in 'MY ZENVO LEFT! Let Me Explain...' (2024).
- Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (C190)
2021–present · low confidence
+£29,842(+9%)
unrealised · stated buy · Marque estimate today
£335,000 → £364,842 · modelled from 9 verified sales, cross-market FX-adjusted
When announcing his order in 'BUYING THE RIGHT ONE? McLaren 765LT vs AMG GT Black Series' (Sept 2020) he cited the price as '£335,000' ('if you're spending three hundred and thirty five thousand...'), and he again listed 'GT Black Series 335,000' alongside his other cars' prices in the Shmuseum SF90 spec-tour video (2022). Caveat: £335k matches the UK base list price; his exact optioned total was never broken out. Still owned.
- Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series
2020–present
no reliable figure — not estimated
No purchase figure ever disclosed for his 2019 buy. He has said only that the model launched at ~£250k ('Buying an SLS AMG Black Series for My Collection?!', 2019) and, on the Drive Torque podcast (2024), that it is 'probably worth two or three hundred thousand more than I bought it for'. Still owned.

In 'SHOCKING PRICING REVEALED! 5 Years of Ford GT Ownership' (Shmee150 YouTube, late 2023) he states: 'in the US it was $500,000, here it was about £550,000' (UK price incl. VAT/homologation; ~$730k at the time), and later '...in addition to buying it for about 550,000'. Not sold — he only mused it would fetch £550k-620k.

- McLaren Senna
2019–2023
−£174,779(-21%)
publicly stated figures
£834,779 → £660,000
Buy: 'the total on the road delivery price taxes paid for this McLaren Senna was £834,779 — I know the number exactly' ('You Won't Believe the Spec Option Prices on My McLaren Senna!', The Shmuseum, c. 2022; £750k list + options). Sell: announced sale in 'A BIG FAREWELL!' (2023); the car was listed at Alastair Bols at £725k (May 2023), cut to £660k (Sept 2023) — documented on PistonHeads ('Shmee's senna' thread). The 660k is the final ASKING price; the realized figure was never stated, but on the Cars & Money podcast (May 2026) he said the Senna was his biggest realized loss, 'best part of £200,000', implying roughly £635k received.
How these numbers are made
Car imagery: our own licensed model-catalogue photography, rendered as monochrome plates; hover a photo for its credit. Where Shmee150has publicly stated what they paid or sold for, we use their figures and say so. Everywhere else, the figure is a Marque market-modelled estimate: the verified auction median for that exact model in its market at acquisition vs sale (or today). These are estimates of market movement during ownership — not statements of actual profit, and they ignore spec, mileage, modifications, fees and taxes. Cars we can’t price honestly show no figure.
