Tom Hartley Jnr has put five highly significant McLaren Formula 1 cars up for sale.
The five cars are the1991 McLaren MP4/6A (Chassis #04), the 1991 McLaren MP4/6A (Chassis #07), the 2012 McLaren MP4/27A (Chassis #01), the 2021 McLaren MCL35M (Chassis #01), and the 2023 McLaren MCL37A (Chassis #03).
Hartley Jnr said: “I’m very excited to bring this opportunity to market. It is incredibly rare for a collector to have the opportunity to acquire race-driven Grand Prix cars directly from the manufacturer and team that built and campaigned them, and that makes this a very special offering.
“We have a great relationship with McLaren and have worked closely with Zak and his team for many years, assisting them with a number of sales.
“However, to now be able publicly to offer these cars directly on McLaren’s behalf is very exciting, and I’m personally looking forward to finding great homes for them.”
The five cars are offered individually, having each remained in the custody of McLaren since its final period of competition, and will be prepared by McLaren for their next owners.
The collection brings together cars driven by some of the greatest names in motorsport, including Ayrton Senna, Gerhard Berger, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, and Lando Norris.
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, said: “We have decided to part with these iconic McLaren Formula One cars because we feel that having them simply sitting in storage is a disservice to what they represent. These cars were built to be driven and raced, and we want to see them being used and enjoyed. We believe that is the best way to keep our history alive and our heritage business active.
“Tom Hartley Jnr is the person we have entrusted to handle the sale. Few people understand the Formula One car market as well as Tom does, and nobody is more active within it today.
“We were also very impressed by the way he handled the sale of the Ecclestone Grand Prix Collection, and McLaren has worked with him successfully for many years.”
