McLaren F1 with unique headlights ready to make auction headlines
later fixed the problem in other F1s by swapping and improving lamps within the original headlight housing, but leaving this example as you see it today.
Now, is that enough to make this F1 truly unique? We'll find out. The difference is subtle, if you compare it with last year's sale, F1 No. 025, shown here: The silver Sotheby's F1 is a two-owner car. The car has less than 16,400 miles, which of course is a lot more than last year's barely-even-sat-in example. Still, you don't see one of these up for sale every day. Just, mostly, every August.
Almost as interesting as the car itself is how Sotheby's plans to sell it. The F1 will be sold"alongside" the Monterey lots, but instead of public bidding, it will be open to sealed bids, somewhat along the lines of the Bring a Trailers and Cars & Bids of the world. Once you've submitted, the house's sealed-bid site will let you know where you rank. Minimum accepted increments for bids on a car in this stratospheric price bracket will be $50,000.
