The first-ever McLaren Elva, with chassis number one, is set to be auctioned for an estimated bargain price of £939,000, despite having clocked less than five miles. This 203 mph supercar, one of only 149 built, originally cost £1.42 million when it was produced in 2022.
Sporting a plush, matt grey finish, the Elva is powered by a four-liter, twin-turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive 804 bhp, enabling it to go from 0-60 mph in a staggering 2.8 seconds. Despite its high performance and luxurious features, it is being offered at a significant discount.
The car has been meticulously maintained, having only eight kilometers (approximately 4.9 miles) on the odometer and only one previous owner who invested an additional £77,000 in enhancements. These factors contribute to its near-new condition, making it a rare and highly desirable find for collectors and enthusiasts.

They continued, “This example is chassis no. one, in addition to being one of just 149 in existence and shows a mere 8 km on the odometer, meaning it is presented in factory-fresh condition.

An outstanding example of McLaren’s innovation and expertise, the Elva remains one of the most ambitious elite performance cars of recent years. A machine that is equally at home blasting down backroads, being pushed to the limit on the track, or even just being admired on display in a collection.”
Given its pristine condition and the substantial price drop from its original value, interest in this McLaren Elva is expected to be exceptionally high. This auction offers a unique opportunity to acquire one of McLaren’s most groundbreaking creations at a fraction of its initial cost.
