Ive only seen one MaClaren F1 on the road, or should I say around a tree, apart from the one I was a very nervous passenger in. I have sat in a couple in a Jaguar Showroom near my home but never allowed to bomb along the road. My friends dad is the head salesman at the GRange dealership and took me and him out for a spin in it and feel I should share some of my thoughts and experiences on it. Firstly, they dont make them anymore. If you want one, be prepared for a secondhand car. Expect to pay the wrong side of half a million for it too. Often fetching £650,000 for one car!

Firstly I should point out that the car cost £540,000 + VAT new. To get hold of one these days - if you were to find one - would cost at least £1,000,000, so hardly a loss.

Not only the fastest car in the world but also one of the most beatiful too. when i sat in it on parklane showroom, i felt as though i was in heavan. they sure know how to build a brilliant car. i was disapointed though at the staggering half million cost. and the £23,500 drop in cost in the first three years. thats waaaaaay more than what i earn. but on the good side, i went to live 2000 and there was a Maclaren F1 car and their latest range in home entertainment speakers. i said to the guy on the stall that if the spekers were as good as the car i would like to hear the. and i did. they were Whooooaa!!!! i had never heard sound quality so good. and they were made of ...
