Ultra-rare McLaren F1 LM-spec up for grabs again via RM Sotheby’s Private Sales

1998 McLaren F1 MSO LM-Specification 5

A very good opportunity to admire it again

There are very few cars who aren’t Ferrari yet dare to ask for a tremendously high amount of money. This 1998 F1 ‘LM-Specification’ created by the McLaren Special Operations is one of them.

Bringing together the best of two worlds, the ‘LM-spec’ started off as a basic F1 (just how stupid this sounds, eh?) model but was stripped for unnecessary bits, and was enhanced with this wonderfully-looking aero package. Just like the LM, it also runs the competition-ready engine used in the F1 GTR. Only here you get a sat-nav.

The last time this rare McLaren was traded was in 2015, for almost $14m. This time, however, it’s unlikely to find out just how much more valuable this British hypercar of the 90s got in the last three years.

That’s because the F1 ‘LM-specification’ will not participate in an auction. It’s listed in RM Sotheby’s Private Sales catalog, along with some other enticing — albeit not as expensive — offers.
