McLaren F1 goes up in Flames

See the tradegy HERE

One of my customers who is the CEO of a big mining company has one of these and they are a truly awesome car, I turn green with envy everytime I see it, so a real shame to see one end up like this.

The ones that are left will now be worth more with the demise of this one

Do McLaren not have the facility to remake the bits? If the car is worth so much surely its worth shipping back to the for a proper factory repair to be effected?

Big question is why would such an expensive car land up with a fire in the engine compartment in the first place

Just had a response to the e mail I sent my customer telling him about the fire. His is a 1997 F1 and is insured for £3,0000,000

In 1997 the car cost £637,000 new and has appreciated in value every year.

He reckons the one destroyed through fire will increase the value of those left by around £250,000 as there are now only 63 cars left

Scary money

Following recent news of insurance scammers crashing into cars, maybe I should offer my 'services' to your customer to crash into some of the reaming 63 McLarens. I'd only charge £100k for each one I wrote off

Pretty sure most of them never come out of the Garage

But it was a BMW so it does not really matter
