A McLaren F1 with unique headlights from the factory is coming up for sale.
are quickly catching up with Ferrari 250 GTOs in terms of stellar auction prices, and a pristine example coming up for sale should be no exception.
The car will be offered via private sale by RM Sotheby's alongside the auction house's traditional sale which runs August 18-20 and coincides with 2022 Monterey Car Week. This F1 was built in 1998 and is car number 59 of the 64 road-going F1s built. It's noted for its headlight design which is only found on this particular car, making it instantly recognizable to fans.Midway through the F1's production run, McLaren started to develop an updated headlight design in response to existing owners complaining of poor night-time lighting.
The car's original owner was a U.K. resident by the name of John Studholm, the founder of a company that produced typewriter cassettes and later ink-jet printer cartridges. He traded the number 17 F1 to purchase this car, and would go on to own an F1 GTR race car. Car 59 was sold to its second and current owner in late 2012, at which point it was brought to U.S. soil under the Show or Display rule. It's been mostly kept in climate-controlled storage together with a second F1 belonging to the same owner, and has accrued less than 300 miles since it last traded hands. According to RM Sotheby's, multiple F1 owners have more than one example of the car, making the total number of F1 owners significantly lower than the 106 examples of the car built.
