McLaren Special Operations (MSO) will premiere its recently restored F1 #063 at the Hampton Court Concours d’Elegance outside London, England on September 6-8.
After the announcement of the McLaren F1 Certification programme at last year’s event, MSO continues its confident presentation with this year’s latest project. As custodians of the F1 legacy, MSO continues to develop and manufacture parts to ensure every F1 remains authentic and an icon of the road.
As it comes to the vehicle, Chassis 63 has undergone a comprehensive restoration over a period of 18-months. Initially the body and drivetrain were stripped from the vehicle. At the same time, the interior was then re-trimmed in the original Semi Aniline leather, which was an exclusive feature for this car. The body is finished in Woking Grey – a color reportedly inspired by the often slate-colored English sky.
Furthermore, Woking Grey Alcantara was used on the dashboard and the perforated passenger seats. The driver’s seat was re-trimmed in Woking Grey leather with a red perforated Alcantara central panel. There are also carpets with the same fabric and a steering wheel that features the original design.
In terms of drivetrain system, vehicle’s 6.1-liter normally-aspirated engine was completely redesigned. Once finished, the unit was dyno tested in order to ensure that it generates these massive 618hp that are capable to power the McLaren F1 to 243mph. Sweet!

The restoration was completed in June with almost 3,000 hours of work, which include final road and track testing. Once the work on chassis 63 was completed, it was handed over to the owner at the McLaren Technology Centre.
Of course, the vehicle comes with its own unique Certificate of Authenticity – which McLaren Automotive is the only organization in the world able to issue. Neat!

McLaren Automobitive, the prominent manufacturer of luxurious and high-performance vehicles has introduced a new service to authenticate the heritage of the well-known McLaren F1 supercars. The launch of the project is coincident with the unveiling of the first F1 to be approved for certification.
Imagine that you have a chance to own a real new McLaren F1! How cool would it be? You can actually do that (if you have the money and are faster than Shmee 150), since an example of the F1 with chassis number #069 has appeared on the surface. What is even better, it has covered only 2800 miles, which makes it like a new one… well, almost.
1997 McLaren F1 GT and 2015 McLaren P1 Prost edition are the biggest stars on display at McLaren’s House this weekend.

Yes, there is no mistake in the heading. The owner of Kahn Design – Afzal Kahn is asking exactly £10,009,995 for the “F1” license plate… and we thought that £3,200 is expensive for a license plate consisting six identical digits.Actually, the saga began back in 2007, when Afzal Kahn has purchased the “F1” license plate for just £440,000. He used it to drive some of his cars including a black McLaren SLR, a Bugatti Veyron and some other interesting sport vehicles. Still, neither of them is even close to the price tag of the incredible license plate.It is very interesting that a stranger offered Mr. Kahn a whopping £6 million for the license plate, last year. Unfortunately, the owner turned down his offer, because he believed that the license plate is worth even more than that. We wonder – how much?The most desirable license plate in the world will probably change its owner, but it is an investment, which will increase its value over the years. We will be very happy to see Rowan Atkinson driving his incredible McLaren F1 with an “F1” license plate. Probably that won’t happen, because he seems a lot reasonable man, who won’t invest a sensational amount of money in such thing.
The original Honda NSX cars are already rare and valuable on their own. But the one that’s going to go under the hammer at the Silverstone Auctions’ Race Retro & Classic Car Sale next month blows all other deals out of the water.

Apparently, upon the release of the McLaren MP4-12C back in 2011, there had been an outcry of discontent about its looks from the public. Visually, it hadn’t been able to live up to its power and performance they say. Deemed too bland and “evoraesque”? Well to those who feel under the weather when looking at a standard MP4-12C, there is a solution – It’s the memoR by Hamann which is currently making its debut within the halls of the 82nd Geneva Motor Show.
