Pristine 242-Mile McLaren F1 Expected To Sell For Over $15 Million

A pristine 1995 McLaren F1 is heading to auction in August and is expected to sell for in excess of $15 million.

McLaren only ever built 106 examples of the F1 and of these, only 64 were road-going models. It is rightfully regarded as one of the most iconic supercars ever designed and in the last decade, prices have jumped by upwards of 500 percent.

This particular McLaren F1 is chassis 029 and has been rarely seen in public, according to Gooding & Company. In fact, it has spent most of its life hidden in a Japanese collection and rarely been driven. The car is currently owned by an individual in the United States who has also kept it well preserved. It has less than 390 km (242 miles) on the clock, making it one of the lowest-mileage F1s in existence, and remains in its original condition and even includes the original Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

Adorning the exterior of the car is a one-off color dubbed Creighton Brown that was named after the man who was McLaren’s commercial director while the F1 was developed and produced. Meanwhile the interior sports a mixture of Light Tan and Dark Brown leather.

The car is being sold with its original service book, owner’s manual, FACOM tool chest, titanium tool kit, fitted luggage, TAG Heuer watch, and the ‘Driving Ambition’ book that each F1 was delivered with.

It’s not very often that an ultra low-mileage McLaren F1 comes up for sale so, given that examples that hit the used car market usually go for crazy money anyway, $15 million doesn’t sound so outrageous in that context.
