Chassis:
Completed in 1997 and finished in Magnesium Silver, this McLaren F1 was sold new to German Thomas Groth. He used the car for his daily commute on the Autobahn and with a year the mileage was at 7,500 km. Although he continued to cherish the 54th F1 road car built, he used the car much less frequently in the following years. In 2009, chassis 066 was eventually sold to an American enthusiast, who bought not one but two examples while visiting McLaren. In his ownership, the still highly original McLaren was meticulously cared for and maintained by the official service centre in Oxnard. With around 22,000 km on the odometer, it was offered at Gooding's 2013 Pebble Beach sale where it changed hands for a record breaking $8.5 million.
