Top tier Legend - the McLaren F1! As we know, each F1 has some sort of story. Whether it is a racing history, an interesting ownership history or a build history. Chassis 022 is no exception either. It was originally ordered by Thomas Bscher in 1994. You may know the name, as Bscher piloted a F1 GTR to several wins, including winning the Global & European GT Championships. Oh, Bscher also went on to head Bugatti and was responsible for the introduction of the Veyron. As for the car itself, it started life finished in Genesis Dark Blue. It wasn't a garage queen either. Bscher frequently commuted with it, being said that he routinely surpassed 200mph on the Autobahn. He notoriously drove it hard. In 2003, it was sold to Miles Collier who sent it back to McLaren MSO (McLaren Customer Care back then) for a $300k restoration. The finish was changed to the green you see here, though it should be noted it doesn't technically have an official name. Sage, Metallic Green and Money Green have all been used to describe the color. It has metallic flakes in it that really give it a beautiful sheen in the sunlight. On the interior, it is trimmed in tan leather. Making this example a truly classic spec. In 2008, Collier founded the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida to display some of the finest cars in the world. Chassis 022 being one of them. Though, in this photo the car was out and about during the Amelia Island Concours. One of the finest examples out there. #mclaren #f1 #supercar #legend #v12 #iconic #performance #speed #uk 🇬🇧 #Anis_Maaouia

3moI have an interesting relationship with the McLaren F1. What Gordon Murray did was nothing short of incredible. He built a car that met every requirement on his list, without letting any accountant tell him what wouldn't work for the budget. He created a machine with no limits, constrained only by the technology of the time. That's why its records stood unchallenged for many years. It also demonstrated that people would spend a million-plus on a car if it was done well and met certain expectations. I love the innovation it brought to the automotive world. However, I don't actually like it. It doesn't look particularly good, the tires are chunky, and the seating position, while perhaps optimal, seems silly. It doesn't sound very soulful, either. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of the first Bugatti Veyron—I have many of the same feelings about that car too.
