Mr. Bean sold his McLaren F1 at the price of USD 12 Million


Who does not know Mr. Bean? Who would have thought the British comedian Rowan Atkinson is an auto fanatic so far and has made several appearances and at least one misfortune at the Goodwood Revival. If not berlumba or acting, he is often seen guiding a McLaren F1 dark purple. But now, his supercar will be sold. What is surprising, Atkinson asked 8 million pounds ($ 12 million) for him!

Atkinson bought the iconic supercar McLaren in 1997 but has been involved in misfortune at least twice since then. The first one is the misfortune at low speed with an Austin Metro in 1999, but misfortune in 2011 it leads more the damage. McLaren Special Operations reported THAT budget cost to build the original F1 Atkinson is as much as £ 910,000, and it's been paid for by a reputable Insurance Atkinson, according to the Western Daily Press in the UK.

Now, McLaren is for sale by broker "Taylor and Crawley" with only 41k miles. "Apart from the accident, I think Rowan was enjoying every second with F1 and I think he will move up to his disappearance," said David Clark, owner of Taylor and Crawley, the Western Daily Press.

F1 Atkinson price certainly makes us cry. An F1 ever sold in the UK at a price of approximately USD5.6 million in 2012 and another GTR version sold at USD 5.28 million in 2014. Gooding and Company also estimates that an F1 can be sold at a price of USD 12 million to USD 14 mln
