Last McLaren F1 sold for $10 million in 2014, the one before that sold for $8.4 million.

I'm thinking that the price will continue to climb for the foreseeable future on these, they only made 100 of them, and really with its sit in the middle driving position, its IMO probably the most unique out of this group of carbon fiber exotics that started with the F40 Ferrari.

This is one of the best investment available today, I am surprise he is selling it as the value will skyrocket continuously like the 250 GTO.

Pay attention to it's value, it will appreciate $1 million or more annually.

Here are some prices I can find or remember:

MSRP was $1M back in 1995
Jay Leno pay $800k for his black one around year 2000
2008 $3.8M
2012 $5.7M
2013 Pebble Beach sold one for $8.5M
2014 Michael Andretti's F1 sold for $10.5M

2015 Mr Bean's list price $12M

See a trend?

The value of cars like these are not affected by their accident history, sometimes the accident history actually increased their value because it provide a good story. Just look at value of 250GTO.

Besides, MSO and Ferrari Classiche rebuild them to better then new condition, these cars are not repaired by the local ghetto body shop.

Try giving Ralph Lauren a call, he has 3 right here in the good old USA.

He let Jay Leno test drove one after he begged him, before Jay bought his.

Ask for his orange LM, that one is a little more special
