Go behind the scenes as RM Sotheby's inspects a pre-sale McLarenAuto F1:
The McLaren F1 authority known as Peloton25 suggests there was room for more, noting that"Gooding had pointed these super-high-powered blue LEDs at the car for days, and a lot of people were given the impression that its nice brown paint was a sort of purple color." He also says F1s tend to sell more in private transactions than at auction, citing when Lewis Hamilton purchased chassis #044 in 2017 for $15.
Which brings us back to the wants and needs of this sparsely driven example. As noted by Kevin Hines of McLaren Philadelphia in his report, this F1 needs a fuel systems service, a pesky engine-out item that's required every five years because the tank consists of a plastic sack, as in race cars. Webb says that"while in there," it's also time to service the engine, pull the gearbox out, and measure things like clutch plate thickness.
"In 2015, chassis #005 escaped from the clutches of the Brunei royal family," he says."It needed a full reconditioning, just like this car does, and it probably sat for even longer than this one. The bill from MSO was in the area of $120,000. That's the price of a very nice BMW. But at the same time, it's also less than 1 percent of the car's value at this point." Fair enough.
