This is a real ‘time capsule’, and the McLaren F1 road car has set a record auction price of $20.465 million USD at Gooding & Company’s Pebble Beach Auctions during the last few days.

It came with only 390 kilometres (243 miles) on the clock, and was sold in its ‘as delivered’ state as expected with such low milage. It swept past the previous record for a McLaren F1 of $15.62 million which was sold in 2017. There was one F1 that came close, at $19.8 million, in 2019. It was converted at the McLaren Special Operations Woking factory to ultra-rare LM.

Chassis 029, which has rarely been seen in public, having spent most of its existence hidden away in a private Japanese collection, attracted spirited bidding as it crossed the Gooding & Company auction block in Monterey. Carefully maintained and rarely driven, the car was in pristine and original condition down to its date coded Goodyear Eagle F1 tires and came complete with its original FACOM tool chest, fitted luggage, titanium tool kit, official ‘Driving Ambition’ book, and special TAG Heuer watch.

This 1995 model was the 25th built, and came in a bespoke colour called Creighton Brown, named after one of the executives who was established the McLaren Cars company. The 3-seater cabin was finished in Light Tan and Dark Brown leather upholstery.

Only 106 V-12-engined F1 road cars were built between 1992 and 1998, and even fewer, just 64, were the original road car specification. It held records at the time, and is still the fastest naturally aspirated production car with a top speed of 240 mph. It was highly desirable then, and even moreso now.

“We were incredibly proud to present this exceptional McLaren F1, and tonight, the market confirmed the sheer prowess of this unparalleled supercar from one of the most legendary names in motoring,” said Gooding & Company President and Founder, David Gooding. “This sale was a historic moment not only for Gooding & Company, but for the McLaren legacy and the entire industry as a whole.”
