Market commentary

Sold to a U.S. buyer who paid such a huge price in dollars that the $150,000 (requires OBD2 diagnostics) or so it will take to Federalize it seems positively insignificant. However, in the heierarchy of boys toys a one off McLaren F1 ranks right up there with helicopters and Paris Hilton.
