Market commentary
Bidding opened at $9 million, a startling result for a car sold by Christie's in London in 2003 for GBP 731,250, $1,246,263 at the time and $1,142,578 today. McLaren has carefully curated the F1 market, of which this in one of two road-equipped LM-spec models, but even Ron Dennis couldn't have predicted the cumulative effect. This is a mind-bending price.
