McLaren Racing is selling five race-driven Formula 1 cars straight from its own collection, from two Honda V12 cars of 1991 to the 2023 car Lando Norris raced and Brad Pitt later drove. No prices are published; Reuters expects about £5 million to £10 million each.
McLaren is opening its own garage. McLaren Racing has put five race-driven Formula 1 cars from its collection up for sale through UK dealer Tom Hartley Jnr, with machinery driven by Ayrton Senna, Gerhard Berger, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. The sale was announced on Oct 18, 2026 and reported by Octane, Reuters, Motor Trader and Car Dealer Magazine.
Each car is offered on its own, with no published price. All five have stayed with McLaren since their racing days ended, and McLaren will prepare each one for its new owner. Reuters reports the cars are expected to range from about £5 million to as much as £10 million, and to raise tens of millions in total.
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.
— Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing
Brown added that selling them is the best way to keep McLaren's history alive and its heritage business active. Hartley said it is "incredibly rare" for a collector to buy race-driven Grand Prix cars directly from the team that built and raced them.
One detail differs between reports. The Reuters story says the MCL37A won back-to-back races in Singapore and Japan. Octane's car-by-car rundown says it finished second in both, and the official 2023 results agree: Norris was runner-up to Carlos Sainz in Singapore and to Max Verstappen at Suzuka.
There are few public prices for cars like these, because most change hands privately. Reuters points to two: a McLaren MP4-25A that Hamilton raced to victory in Turkey in 2010 sold for £4.8 million in 2021, and a race-winning 2001 Ferrari driven by Michael Schumacher brought $7.5 million in New York in 2017.
Hartley is the dealer behind two of the biggest recent F1 deals. He handled Bernie Ecclestone's collection of 69 Grand Prix cars in 2025, reportedly for £500 million, and the collection of the late McLaren shareholder Mansour Ojjeh. Both went to single buyers in one piece. Hartley told Car Dealer Magazine the same could happen here, but the cars are being offered one at a time with "no time pressure whatsoever."
This is a rare kind of sale. Old F1 cars usually reach the market from private collections after several owners. These come straight from the team, with an unbroken history and McLaren doing the preparation, which matters a lot for running anything this complex. The 1991 cars carry the Senna story and are far simpler to run than the newer cars. The 2023 car has the newest tech and a Norris and Brad Pitt story, but as Octane notes, running a modern turbo-hybrid F1 car is a much bigger technical and logistical job.
It also lands while the top of the McLaren collector market is strong. A 1996 McLaren F1 GTR sold for $34.66 million at RM Sotheby's Monterey in August. For road-car buyers, the closest thing in our data is the Senna: as of Oct 19, 2026 we track 18 US listings, 15 with a price, and the middle asking price is about $2.5 million, with asking prices from about $2.1 million to $3.0 million (Senna prices). Those are dealer asking prices, not sales.
The cars are on offer now through Tom Hartley Jnr. Neither McLaren nor Hartley has set a deadline or said whether any car has drawn an offer, and sale prices for private deals like these often go unreported.
Eighteen months after merging with Forseven under Abu Dhabi ownership, McLaren has shown its plan: fewer cars to protect values, an SUV for new buyers, and an end date for the 750S in 2027. Here's what that means if you own one or want one.
The most talked-about new supercars of 2026 share something old-fashioned: a clutch pedal. Here's what's real and what's simulated, what they cost, how few will be built, and what the market says analog cars are worth.
A camouflaged McLaren spotted testing in Michigan has Artura bones and a very different rear. Outlets say it could be the rumored P34 hybrid coupe — or a harder Artura LT before the current car leaves.
