First Ever McLaren Elva Tipped to Sell for £939,000 Despite Having Only Five Miles on the Clock

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.

RM Sotheby’s will be hosting the auction in Monaco on May 11, with a guide price ranging between £939,000 and £1.28 million. A spokesperson for RM Sotheby’s highlighted the car’s significance: “One of the standout early consignments for the sale is the 2022 McLaren Elva. The lightest, most extreme road car McLaren has ever produced, delivering the purest possible driving experience.”

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.
