Tom Hartley JNR has been appointed to sell one of the most remarkable McLaren road car collections of all time – the personal legacy of the late Mansour Ojjeh, a visionary man who helped transform McLaren into a motorsport and automotive power building.
Hartley just sold a record sale from Bernie Ecclestone’s Grand Prix series, and the Ojjeh family has commissioned it to handle the sale of 20 super rare McLaren road cars, many of which are final production examples of similar products, completing the precise specifications of Ojjeh and preserving them in AS-NEW conditions.
The crown jewelry of the “Last Legend” series is the final McLaren F1 ever built, drawn with a custom “Mansour Orange”, a color McLaren named after his honor. The clock is only 1,810 kilometers and is expected to set a new world record for the model when it is sold.
Other highlights include Speedtail, P1, Senna, Elva and Ultra-Cemprousive Saber, the last of 16 made. All cars have not been used since delivery, except for the F1 and the easy-to-drive P1 GTR and are specifically maintained by McLaren’s unique program designed for Ojjeh.
Mansour Ojjeh, who died in 2021, played a role in the rise of McLaren, helping to win the seven builders and ten drivers of Formula One 1, and later pioneered the birth of McLaren Automobile. This personal collection reflects not only his influence on the brand, but also his picky passion for design, detail and racing traditions.
Mansour’s legacy Kathy Ojjeh was deeply excited about the sale: “McLaren means a lot to Mansour. It’s not just business – it’s pure passion. These cars are hand-picked and curated by him, often involving hours of design and personal input. It’s not easy to break up with them, it’s important to someone, it’s something that really knows about someone.
Hartley, one of the world’s most respected dealers of history and performance cars, calls the sale “not repeatable.” “This is the DNA in the form of McLaren,” he said. “It was asked to deal with selling a private car similar to selling Enzo Ferrari or Ferdinand Porsche’s own collection.”
Each model in the collection has been ordered with the final chassis number and each available production update, making them the most refined version ever. Some unique booms delivered after Ojjeh’s death, such as Elva, and replaced McLaren’s traditional badge with his personal logo.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown pays tribute to us: “Mansour is the founding father of McLaren, who we know today. His passion is unparalleled, and this series is different from anything else.”
The cars will be specially provided by Tom Hartley JNR, hoping that individual buyers will get the full set up to keep their origins and importance.
