Found perched outside on a toilet after Hurricane Ian, this McLaren is worth millions if fixed up.
, covered in flood debris, an undignified end for such an incredible performance machine. But was it really the end? Of course not! When a car is this valuable and this much of it is left, there is no such thing as a total loss—the McLaren would surely be resurrected, the only question was by whom?
Well, internet, we now have our answer: YouTuber Tavarish, aka Freddy Hernandez, purchased the flood-damagedThe first video shows Hernandez collecting his newly purchased... project car in some kind of a Florida warehouse—the same one where Copart insurance auction's listing photos were taken—where nearby the Rolls-Royce that also belonged to the McLaren's previous owner sat low on its deflated suspension.
But back to that P1. Yes, the McLaren is trashed, but it's rather complete. The rear wheels are at first frozen—not to mention one tire is completely gashed, while the opposite wheel has a large hole in it—and the suspension is stuck in one of its lower ride heights. Those issues of course make loading the flooded car onto a trailer a challenge.Nothing on the car works, unless you count the doors and hood opening as"working.
You can watch the episode yourself above. It's quite entertaining, and for anyone who's ever purchased a rough-condition project car, it's extremely relatable. Now, we're not sure about any of you, but no one on our staff has ever bought a near-terminal project vehicle for half a million bucks, so maybe we don't fully grasp Hernandez's stress levels. But in the next Tavarish video on the McLaren, you'll be walked through all of its problems in detail.
