This is pretty amazing to see:
That is what is believed to be chassis #060 in Japan. This car falls into the category of 'new and never registered' rumored to have just delivery miles on the odometer. It has been hidden away in Japan since new and the last time it was seen it still had the original delivery plastic protecting the surfaces of the interior. There's a black mark you might notice on the rear bumper - that would be Gordon Murray's signature. Kind of a strange place to put it, but certainly a unique touch on this car.
It has surfaced on ArtSports website today, but is not yet a part of their 'Stocklist'. Still I have to expect they will be attempting to sell the car - not sure what price they are considering, but I expect it will be very steep!

the original buyer is probably an investor

How the **** do you own a McLaren F1 and NEVER drive it? That absolutely baffles me.

It will be Volcano Yellow, just like the recent press photos.
I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. For this car's first owner it appears to have been seen as more artwork than motorcar, and in the 17 years they've had it the value has increased like a piece of artwork as well. Safe bet that if sold this car could bring 8 figures from the right buyer.
