McLaren Is Selling Five Historic F1 Cars Because It Wants Them Back On The Track

Five Formula 1 cars spanning McLaren's entire modern history are heading to the private market, each sold directly by the team that built and raced them. Tom Hartley Jnr, the Oxfordshire-based dealer known for handling some of the biggest Grand Prix car sales in the world, has been appointed by McLaren Racing to find buyers.

The group ranges from two 1991 MP4/6As driven by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger to Lando Norris's 2023 MCL37A, described as the most modern Formula 1 car ever offered for private ownership. All five are being sold individually. No prices have been disclosed.

The collection covers 32 years of McLaren's Formula 1 history. It includes two 1991 MP4/6A chassis, #04 and #07, a 2012 MP4/27A, the 2021 MCL35M, and the 2023 MCL37A.

Every car has stayed in McLaren's custody since its final race and will be prepared by the team before reaching a new owner.

Chassis #04 finished second at the 1991 San Marino Grand Prix behind Senna, part of a race where both McLaren drivers lapped the entire field. That's a feat achieved by teammates in the same chassis type only once before in Formula 1 history. The car's naturally aspirated Honda RA121E V12 helped deliver McLaren's fourth consecutive Constructors' Championship that season.

Its sister car, chassis #07, finished second at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and was never crashed during its racing career. Senna tested both MP4/6As the following year, tying each one directly to the three-time champion as well as to Berger.
