Rare McLaren F1 Chassis 029 set for auction

Do you regret not upping your offer on the McLaren F1 that sold during Monterey Car Week in 2021? Well, now’s your opportunity to try again, as the same car is up for auction next week, May 13-16.

Rare McLaren F1 Chassis Up for Auction

Chassis number 029 of the iconic McLaren F1 is set to go under the hammer once again, this time through Sotheby’s Sealed bid process. Unlike its previous public auction in 2021, the highest bid for this rare supercar will not be disclosed to the public.

Potential for Record-Breaking Sale

With its previous sale fetching a staggering $20,465,000 and setting a new public auction record for the McLaren F1, anticipation is high for another impressive result. Given the sustained demand for this definitive 90s supercar over the past three years, there’s speculation that the bidding may exceed previous records.

Pristine Condition and Unique Features

One of only 106 McLaren F1 examples ever produced, chassis 029 stands out for its exceptional condition and distinctive brown-on-brown color combination.

With just 410 km (254.7 miles) on the odometer, the car remains virtually untouched since its last sale. Its Creighton Brown exterior paint, paired with Light Tan and Brazilian Brown interior, makes it truly one-of-a-kind among its counterparts.

A Highly Coveted Collector’s Item

While all McLaren F1 models are highly prized among collectors, chassis 029 holds a special allure due to its rare color scheme. 

The unique combination of exterior and interior hues adds to its exclusivity, making it a coveted addition to any discerning collector’s portfolio.

As enthusiasts and collectors eagerly await the outcome of the auction, the sale of chassis 029 is expected to further cement the McLaren F1’s status as an enduring icon in the world of supercars.
