The last example of a McLaren F1 GTR ever produced, chassis 028R, will cross the auctioneer\u2019s block at Bonham\u2019s annual Auction of Exceptional Motorcars, scheduled for August 16\u201317 at the Quail Lodge in Carmel, California. Resplendent in its legendary pale blue and orange Gulf Oil livery, the ex-Team Davidoff 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail contested eight rounds of that year\u2019s FIA Global GT Championship, and represents the ultimate development of Gordon Murray\u2019s original GT design for McLaren.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have been appointed by an international collector to represent this breathtaking piece of competition machinery,\u201d says Mark Osborne, Head of Motoring at Bonhams. \u201cRacing legends like the McLaren F1 GTR rarely if ever appear at auction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bidders at this year\u2019s sale will enjoy a new, larger venue on the lawns at the western end of the Quail Lodge grounds in Carmel Valley, a much more open and accessible site that also offers improved parking possibilities as well.
