When a McLaren F1 comes up for auction, it"s always an event. The Royal Mint quakes, Fort Knox redoubles its security, and the stock market braces in case the sale of arguably the greatest supercar of all time redefines the concept of a lot of money" as we know it. Only 106 were built. Only 64 left the factory as road-legal machines. They"re rare, and as you already know, they"re very, very special. But this one is rarer and more special than most F1s. It"s an F1 unicorn, in fact: chassis 018. One of only two F1s in existence to have received the factory"s LM spec". That"s short for Le Mans specification, and as the name suggests, it basically adds the goodies that turned the road-going F1 into a bona-fide Le Mans endurance-winning legend.
