The McLaren F1 is regarded by many as the car that rewrote the supercar rule book. With only 64 roadgoing examples built between 1993 and 1998, the original McLaren F1 is one of the rarest and highest-regarded models among collectors, enthusiasts and petrolheads.
McLaren Special Operations (MSO) continues to maintain and manage McLaren F1s globally, and is offering an exemplary example of this hugely collectible model for sale. McLaren F1 chassis #069 is in factory condition, having covered less than 4500 kilometres since new.
During 1998, only six examples of the original McLaren F1 were completed, and chassis #069 was the 60th model overall to be hand-built in Woking, England. It is presented in Carbon Black, complemented by subtle detailing throughout, including a stealth finish to the 17-inch centre-locking magnesium wheels. The central driving seat is finished in black and contrasting red leather, with the dual passenger seats upholstered in Alcantara.
McLaren F1 chassis #069 is UK registered with all UK taxes paid and is offered for sale exclusively through McLaren Special Operations Heritage division. The car comes with fitted luggage, complete Facom titanium lightweight tool kit and Facom tool box, plus all books and literature, including the correct numbered LM Edition of the official McLaren F1 book Driving Ambition. The package also includes a limited-edition McLaren F1 owner’s watch.
Designed by Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens, the McLaren F1 was developed and designed with a no-compromise approach, world-beating Formula 1 expertise and technology, and the most driver-focused driving experience at its core.
A truly pioneering tour de force, the F1 was the first road car to feature a full carbon fibre chassis. With its central driving position, engine bay lined with gold and famed McLaren obsession for technical excellence, the F1 is considered a modern-day automotive icon.
Powered by a bespoke naturally aspirated mid-mounted 6.1-litre V12 engine producing 627bhp, it broke the record for fastest production road car with a top speed of 390.7km/h. More than 20 years on, the McLaren F1 still holds the title of fastest naturally aspirated production road car ever.
