Throughout the year, McLaren has been celebrated the company's 60th anniversary. As a result, we have seen some great examples at the events we visited. One of the absolute highlights was this F1 GTR, which was raced at the Le Mans Classic by none other than Yannick Dalmas. One of the most famous GTRs, it was campaigned in Harrods colours in period. In more recent years, it was regularly demonstrated at a variety of events and it was particularly nice to see 06R be driven in anger once more.
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the British manufacturer celebrated their anniversary in style with this Solus GT setting the fastest time of the Shootout. Driven by Marvin Kirchhöfer, the example used for the run was the first validation prototype of the track-day special.
At the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Bonhams will host a very exclusive On The Grid auction. Among the headliners is this McLaren Elva, which has been consigned by its first owner; none other than Fernando Alonso. Also due to cross the block is this MP4-21 Mercedes, which was raced during the 2006 season by Kimi Räikönen. His best result with this car was a second in Australia. Fully restored and in private hands, MP4-21A-02 should sell for over $2.5 million.
