"Funny" thing is that now and 13 years later a MacLaren F1 became one of the most sought after Supercar after chassis 065 sold for over £2.5M when as you mentionned back in the days they had to stop the production (abort?) and one of the last sold for under £400k.. And not to mention the financial crisis we are living in. As the middle social class got poorer then the wealthy ones got richer?

But you're looking at this with the benefit of hindsight. It's true that McLaren only intended to produce 5 LMs. But the regular F1s didn't exactly fly of the shelf. There was no pre-ordained plan to just make 64. They decided to stop because they couldn't sell them, believe it or not. In fact, despite the roughly $950k price tag, one of the last cars sold for only $400k. So the fact that the Sultan of Brunei wanted 3 LMs was a gift to McLaren, because no one else was looking to buy. But this i often the case with what ultimately become hugely desirable cars. You could have picked up a Ferrari 250 GTO for just a few thousand pounds in the '70s, at around the same time as British Leyland were giving their managers V12 E types as company cars because they couldn't shift them. Hindsight is glorious. But it distorts reality. We certainly understand the sentiment. But you’re looking at this with the benefit of hindsight.

Let's put it this way: if the Sultan of Brunei had the means to buy all 64 F1 road cars then McLaren would have sold them all to him ?? U get my point? It's just not right that they allowed 3 of the 5 LM's ever produced (for sale) to be in the hands of the same owner and unfair to other wealthy rich people who surely wished to have an LM.. That's what I think. It's all about money in the hand and no about being selective at all, giving away 3 LM's to a same owner for the sake of money is just wrong! And I personally condemn McLaren point of view on this deal with the Sultan of Brunei. Would appreciate a feeedback (and anyone else is welcome too) ;) To CarsUK:
