Red McLaren F1 sold for a record sum

The McLaren F1 continues to fascinate fans 16 years after the last piece rolled off the production line. Between 1992 and 1998, only 106 cars were built in Woking , and only 64 of them were produced in the road version. And of such a small number, only two were in red. One of them, the twenty-eighth piece produced, belonged to none other than Michael Andretti . He had it made while he was racing for the McLaren Formula 1 team, but after a year sold it to a Japanese collector. He could not legally drive it in the USA . The car returned to the US in 2002 and changed several owners until it was now purchased by a British collector for an incredible sum of 6.2 million pounds. This is the highest amount for which any McLaren F1 has ever been sold.
