Yahoo Autos McLaren Is Selling One of the Last F1 Road Cars Built
With only 106 street and race cars built, a McLaren F1 turning up for sale is a rare and special occasion. Especially when it's an example as nice as this, chassis #069, which is being offered by McLaren Special Operations. With only 2800 miles on the clock since it left the factory at Woking, it's begging for a cross-country road trip.
Despite the fact that it wears chassis #069, this was actually the 60th of 71 roadgoing F1's built (including five F1LMs and three F1 GTs), making it one of the last road cars the company built. It's painted in Carbon Black with very distinctive "stealth" wheels finished in a darker hue than typical F1 wheels. The interior is all black save for red accents on the driver's seat.
All the extra goodies you'd want with an F1 are here too including the fitted luggage, titanium toolkit, and the Tag Heuer watch made specifically for McLaren F1 owners. McLaren says this F1 is in Concours condition, and judging by the pictures, they aren't lying.
Pricing hasn't been announced, but considering Rowan Atkinson's twice-crashed, 41,000-mile F1 sold for $12.2 million last year and Michael Andretti's red F1 sold for $10.5 million in 2014, you can get a general idea. A lot of money no doubt, but the F1 is arguably the greatest road car ever made.
To whoever buys Chassis #069, please put some miles on it, and maybe shoot me an email?
