Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, announced today that the historic 2006 Maybach 57 luxury sedan formerly owned by legendary Academy Award-winning actress Elizabeth Taylor will be featured at its upcoming marquee events. The iconic vehicle will first be on special display at the 2026 Las Vegas Auction in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from September 10–12, 2026, before crossing the auction block with No Reserve during the 2027 Scottsdale Auction from January 23–31, 2027, at WestWorld of Scottsdale.
Previously owned by actress Elizabeth Taylor, this 2006 Maybach 57 was her last vehicle and was willed to renowned celebrity stylist and trendsetter José Eber upon her passing on March 23, 2011. It is powered by a 5.5-liter V-12 engine producing 543hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic automatic transmission with shiftable capabilities. The exterior is finished in black, while the interior is finished in Caramel. The rear passenger compartment features a rear-mounted refrigerator positioned between the seats, and the rear passenger curtains remain intact. The original canopy cover is also intact. The vehicle has been rarely driven since Taylor’s death: 7,200 actual miles.
“Elizabeth Taylor defined Hollywood glamour, grace, and unmatched sophistication, and her personal Maybach reflects that exact legacy,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “She is a rare cultural icon whose influence resonates deeply across all generations—immortalized in modern pop culture everywhere from classic cinema to the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s recent hit single ‘Elizabeth Taylor’. To offer a vehicle that was not only her final car but also a cherished piece passed to her dear friend José Eber makes this an extraordinary opportunity for collectors of both automotive history and cultural memorabilia.”

“Elizabeth was not just a global icon; she was a deeply cherished friend who embodied true elegance, generosity, and grace,” said José Eber. “This Maybach was a reflection of her exquisite taste and a sanctuary where we shared so many wonderful memories. It has been a profound honor to care for this beautiful piece of her history for the past 15 years. While letting it go is bittersweet, partnering with Barrett-Jackson feels like the perfect tribute to her enduring legacy. I am thrilled to share a piece of her unmatched glamour with the world, and I know it will find a home with someone who truly appreciates the extraordinary woman behind it.”
Attendees at the 2026 Las Vegas Auction will have the opportunity to view the vehicle up close throughout the three-day event in the fan zone of the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Bidders worldwide will have the chance to vie for ownership when the car officially crosses the auction block in January 2027 at WestWorld of Scottsdale.
