McLaren historic Formula 1 car sale

Overview

McLaren Racing has announced the sale of five fully functional Formula 1 cars from its heritage collection through specialist dealer Tom Hartley Jr. The collection spans 32 years of the team’s history, from 1991 to 2023.

Featured vehicles include two 1991 MP4/6A chassis featuring Honda V12 engines, which were raced by Gerhard Berger and tested by Ayrton Senna. These models are associated with Senna’s third and final world championship season. The sale also includes a 2012 MP4/27A used by Jenson Button and tested by Lewis Hamilton, as well as two modern models used by Lando Norris: the 2021 MCL35M and the 2023 MCL37A. The latter was notably used by actor Brad Pitt during preparations for the film ‘F1’ and is recognized for securing victories in Singapore and Japan.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown stated the decision was made to ensure the cars are “driven and raced” instead of remaining in storage. While official prices have not been released, market estimates have varied, with some suggesting individual cars could be valued between £5 million and £10 million, while others estimate values between $7 million and $13 million each. Each vehicle will be individually prepared by McLaren prior to delivery to new owners.
