McLaren Mansour Ojjeh

As a final lap for glory, Mansour Ojjeh’s McLaren Collection is fully up for sale.

It is a chapter in McLaren’s history that is about to change hands. The family of Mansour Ojjeh, an iconic figure in Formula 1 and the architect of McLaren’s transformation into a giant in racing and luxury automobiles, has entrusted Tom Hartley Jnr Ltd with the sale of his incredible personal collection of 20 McLaren cars that he painstakingly assembled until his death in 2021.

Known for recently managing the sale of Bernie Ecclestone’s collection of 69 F1 cars, Hartley here takes on another monument. Because this collection is much more than an alignment of supercars: it is the ultimate automotive manifesto of a man who dreamed of perfection. Each model is the last produced, incorporating every technical evolution. Every detail was chosen by Ojjeh himself, with an almost artistic obsession.

The Queen: McLaren F1

The centerpiece? A unique McLaren F1, the last ever made, in a custom shade dubbed “Mansour Orange,” formerly called “Yquem.” With only 1,810 km on the odometer, it is already set to break all auction records.

Around it orbit other masterpieces: P1, Senna, Speedtail, Elva, Sabre… Rare models, sometimes never used, all maintained directly by McLaren, an unprecedented privilege reserved for Ojjeh.

This sale also tells the story of McLaren. Because Ojjeh, heir to the TAG Group, made his mark in F1 by financing the TAG-Porsche engines from 1984, before becoming co-owner of McLaren alongside Ron Dennis. Together, they won 7 constructors’ titles and 10 driver championships.

“Mansour didn’t just own these cars; he designed them with his soul,” says his wife Kathy. “Today, we hope that a passionate enthusiast who understands their significance will take good care of them.”

For Tom Hartley Jnr, it’s “like selling Enzo Ferrari’s Ferraris or Ferdinand Porsche’s Porsches.” A unique mission, worthy of a man whose vision continues to inspire the road… and the circuits.
