361 100 million sky-high price to auction the former speed king McLaren F1
In the evening, after Lin Haocang finished taking a bath, he received a call from Li Rose.
"Xiaocang, there will be a car slap at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, remember to come!"
Tomorrow, they will hold a car auction in conjunction with Sotheby's.
Lin Haocang said suspiciously: "Sister Rose, can you tell me about any luxury car auctions this time?" If there are no historical luxury cars, I won't go."
Hearing that this was a car auction, Lin Haocang's interest decreased a lot, and the auctions were all ordinary goods, so he was really not interested.
"Xiao Cang, there are also a lot of luxury cars in this car auction!" Li Rose smiled and said: "Are you interested in McLaren F1? Let me tell you, the opportunity is rare, there are not many in the world!"
This McLaren F1 was auctioned by a wealthy man, but it has been treasured for a long time!
"McLaren F1?" Lin Haocang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "I'll go over tomorrow morning, it's mine!"
McLaren F1 is a classic supercar, developed by McLaren in 1990 by McLaren engineers who combined a large number of F1 racing technologies, hence the name F1.
The McLaren F1 accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 380 km/h. It was once the fastest production sports car in the world, a record it held from its entry into series production in 1994 until it was discontinued in 2005. It wasn't until 2005 that Koenigsegg CCR broke McLaren's F1 record for the world's fastest production sports car. This has also contributed to the immortal status of McLaren F1, which is a representative dream car in the hearts of many fans.
When the McLaren F1 first hit the market 22 years ago, it was limited to 64 units in 7 countries (and territories) (only 106 of all McLaren F1s, including prototypes, special editions, and even racing models, were only 78 of those 106 McLaren F1s that were road-legal)!
Nowadays, it is impossible to buy it at all, and it rarely appears at auctions, after all, people who can own such luxury cars are rich people, and such a treasure as McLaren F1 will be auctioned if the rich man has a financial crisis!
Lin Haocang said excitedly: "Tsk, I didn't expect someone to auction their McLaren F1 this time, what do you say, I can't let other buyers auction it!"
Li Rose immediately said: "Then see you tomorrow morning!"
The two continued to chat, and then the call ended.
··
At 9:30 a.m. the next day, Lin Haocang arrived at the car auction, and Li Rose specially arranged for someone to pick him up!
The staff welcomed Lin Haocang to the VIP bidding seat on the second floor. There is a compartment between the seats, and all bidders are not visible to each other unless they are willing to knock down the partition of the compartment.
The people who can go up to the second floor are all VIP members, and these members are basically rich second generations and rich people.
Energetic heavy metal music reverberated throughout the center of the venue, with a huge catwalk in the middle, which was used for the car show later.
Lin Haocang sat on the sofa, drinking tea slowly, the time passed quickly, and the auction started in 5 minutes, so he climbed the railing and looked at the black people in the venue, there are so many people coming today, but where McLaren F1 itself is bound to win!
Under everyone's expectations, I saw Li Rose in a white cheongsam dancing on the stage, with a flawless face of white jade, and charming and amorous eyes, which made people intoxicated.
Lin Haocang was drinking tea while chirping about Li Rose's beautiful figure, this stunner, he would have to take it sooner or later.
Soon the auction began, and there were many cars auctioned at this auction, but Lin Haocang couldn't look at it.
Time passed quickly, and finally the main event arrived!
McLaren F1 is here!
Lin Haocang also cheered up, this McLaren F1 is white, and there will be a British tycoon who will take out a purple McLaren F1 for auction in the future, but that is a matter for the future, and the most important thing now is to win today's white McLaren F1!
··
At this time, the seductive voice of Li Rose came: "Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, when the McLaren F1 was born, it was once considered one of the fastest road-legal supercars in the world, so whether it was born 20 years ago or today, the McLaren F1 is one of the most popular models among car collectors!"
At this time, someone interrupted Li Rose and asked, "What is the BMW logo of this car?"
Suddenly, many people were coaxing!
"yes, what's going on, how does it have a BMW logo?"
"yes, it's a BMW logo!"
"Damn, I didn't pay attention, it can't be a fake, right?"
···
Li Rose immediately smiled and said: "Good question, sir, this is because it is equipped with a 6.1-liter V12 engine codenamed S70/2 provided by BMW Sport, so you can see the M-POWER logo on the engine!"
Under the introduction of Li Rose, everyone has figured out a lot of things, after all, this McLaren F1 has a history of nearly 20 years!
Impressively, this powerful performance monster is powered by a 6-speed manual gearbox (not including R).
The car has been in excellent condition since 1991, with only 9,600 miles (about 15,449 km) of mileage, including the original suitcase set, maintenance tools, service gloves, owner's manual, along with vehicle certificates and maintenance records, and the exterior silver paint and black and gray Connolly leather interior are as good as when it first left the factory.
The intact condition, legendary background, and scarcity of the car have created a very high value for this McLaren F1, and many buyers present are going crazy!
At this time, Li Rose said: "The reserve price of the auction is 50 million!"
··
As soon as Li Rose's words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent!
50 million!
That's too expensive, isn't it?
Most of the people present couldn't afford it, so they had to look at the VIP buyers on the second floor!
However, there are still people bidding, after all, there are dark horses among ordinary buyers!
A man from Jiangnan Province: "60 million!"
A man from Dongying: "65 million!"
"70 million!"
"80 million!"
When the Dongying man called out 80 million, the man in Jiangnan Province was defeated!
At this time, a wealthy son in Jiangdao asked for the price, "90 million!"
Suddenly, the scene quieted down, and the Dongying man retreated!
At this time, Lin Haocang spoke, "100 million!"
After the sky-high price of 100 million was shouted, everyone quieted down!
No one dares to bargain anymore!
Li Rose's beautiful eyes sparkled in the direction of Lin Haocang, and there were ripples in her heart!
"100 million for the first time!"
"100 million for the second time!"
"100 million for the third time!"
"Congratulations to Mr. 1641 on this McLaren F1!"
