SOME poor, sad soul has had a 1997 McLaren F1 in their garage, and has never once driven it.
Yup, that’s right. A legendary McLaren F1 is up for sale with delivery mileage, and the factory protective plastic still fitted.
The Dandelion Yellow with Dark Grey F1 is being sold through a company called Tom Hartley Jnr.
The 239 kilometres on the odometer reflects McLaren’s pre-delivery test mileage.
Price is on application, but if you were looking for a guide a well-maintained 1995 single-owner example sold for $19.8 million recently.
Along with the car, the new owner will receive the original eather-cased owners handbooks, the Facom tool chest, tool roll with its original gold-plated titanium tools, full luggage set still in factory protective wrapping, spare keys plus the ultra-rare commemorative TAG Heuer watch with the chassis number engraved on the face.
Sure, this unregistered car is likely to blow a number of auction records out of the water, but what kind of person does it take to have one of the greatest cars humanity has created, and not drive a single kilometre in it.
It’ll be a true tragedy if the next custodian decides to do the same as the previous owner, and hides this beautiful machine away in a garage to sit unused for another 20 years.
