Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

The last road spec F1 built by McLaren, displayed from 1993 in the companys showroom on Park Lane in London and sold for the first time in 2004. One owner from new, 484km when cataloged, fresh from service at McLaren. Includes all the gew gaws including fitted luggage and titanium Facom tool set. Included letter from McLaren notes that all F1s got around 400km at the factory during shakedown and pre sale testing. A new car.

Market commentary

Whoof! McLaren F1s were expensive when new and McLaren worked assiduously to keep transactions in the secondary market up, but this sets a new benchmark. This is very expensive, even in todays relatively healthy dollar pound exchange rate, hammering down at 900,000 pounds over the high estimate to a U.S. buyer.
