No offence, but how is this related to the McLaren F1?

Exactly 100 cars have been produced.

64 road cars
28 GTR (for racing)
5 GT (long tails)
3 GT LM (roadgoing longtail cars)

Several of the 64 road cars have been converted to the high downforce package (fixed rear wing, extra cooling for the brakes, etc.) which makes them look like GTRs from the outside.

While several have been involved in accidents, only one has been completely written off. That's the one Chris Dawes killed himself and two others in. It hydroplaned and hit a tree and flipped over and the fuel leaked onto the exhaust manifold, burning it to the ground.

The factory has 4 cars:
A silver roadcar that is on permanent display at their Park Lane showroom
A green GT LM at the factory, destined for their museum
A silver and black demo car that is for sale
A green car (K8 MCL) that was used to set the records and has about 40,000 km on the clock.

So there's 95 cars out there. But a few are in private collections and will never be sold. So there's less than 95 in "circulation" and while most were in Europe, more and more are finding their way into the US after Show and Display rules allow them to be imported without modifications except to the exhaust system so that they meet EPA emissions regulations.

interesting, thank you. All those pictures you see of a black car are the record holding cars then, as I remember the number plate.

are you sueing the spiller of oil, or the government? Mr Bean was indeed the man who wrote off the Mclaren... i am pretty sure it was written off anyway.

Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) rear-ended a Mini and had extensive damage to his front end. But it was fixed. The McLaren is so expensive and so exclusive that most owners opt to fix them, even when there is extensive damage.

Chris Dawes' car is the only one I am aware of that has been written off.

The black car that holds the records is dark green. It may jus tappear black in photographs, or it may actually have been painted black to begin with, but it is currently dark green.
