Remarkable assemblage of McLaren super sports cars available for purchase
The highly-anticipated sale of an extraordinary collection of 20 McLaren road cars, previously owned by the late entrepreneur Mansour Ojjeh, is being handled by renowned classic car dealer Tom Hartley Jnr. The collection, affectionately known as the "Last of Legends," is being sold on behalf of Ojjeh's family [1][2].
Mansour Ojjeh played a pivotal role in McLaren's rise to Formula One racing dominance during the 1980s. His significant shareholding in the brand and long-standing involvement with the Woking-based McLaren manufacturer are reflected in this exceptional collection [1][2][3].
The collection includes the final chassis number of each model in the McLaren range, with notable cars such as the Speedtail, P1, Senna, and the crowning jewel, the McLaren F1, finished in a unique colour named 'Mansour Orange.' The McLaren F1, often referred to as the "jewel in the crown," has 1,800km on its odometer, while the P1 GTR has been driven on McLaren track days [1][2][3].
The remaining cars in the collection have remained in factory-delivered condition with minimal mileage, a testament to Ojjeh's meticulous care and appreciation for the finer things in life [1][2][3]. All other cars in the collection remain undriven, offering a unique opportunity for a discerning collector to acquire a piece of motoring history [1][2].
Tom Hartley Jnr, who has been appointed to handle the sale, expressed his privilege at being entrusted with this remarkable collection. The sale of this collection, coming from one of McLaren Automotive's founding figures, is considered truly unrepeatable [1][2][4].
The engines powering these cars propelled the team to three Drivers' World Championships and two Constructors' titles during the 1980s [3]. The Porsche-supplied turbocharged engines fitted to McLaren Formula One cars bore the name of Ojjeh's Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG) company [3].
This sale presents a rare opportunity for McLaren enthusiasts to own a piece of the brand's history, as well as a chance to acquire some of the rarest and most sought-after McLaren road cars ever made [1][2][4].
