Market commentary
It says something that Drendel didnt hesitate to drive his 1200+ horsepower Porsche 917 30 but used the McLaren only for display. These cars are monsters and regularly scared the F1 pilots who drove them in anger. This is a fair price for a historic car that will remain static for all but the most talented, brave or foolhardy and the estimate seems to be unduly conservative, not only for its history but also for its rarity and performance.
