A remarkable collection of 20 pristine McLaren vehicles, known as the ‘Last of Legends,’ is set to be sold through Tom Hartley Jnr. This unique assortment is remarkable not just for its quantity but also for its history and the legacy of its late owner, Mansour Akram Ojjeh, a significant figure in McLaren’s Formula One success.
Among the standout cars in this prestigious lot is one of the lowest mileage McLaren F1s in existence, showcasing only 1,810 kilometers. This particular model has even been driven by F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. The collection also features rare McLaren editions like the Sabre, Senna GTR, Speedtail, and a unique Elva, which was delivered posthumously to Ojjeh, featuring a special emblem in lieu of the standard branding.
What makes this collection even more extraordinary is that 18 of the cars display zero miles, with the P1 GTR being the only one briefly used for track days. Each vehicle represents the final chassis designation of its respective model, specifically requested by Ojjeh to guarantee the latest technical upgrades, a testament to his deep passion and attention to detail throughout his life with McLaren.
Kathy Ojjeh expressed how difficult it is to part with such a personal treasure, emphasizing her late husband’s profound connection to McLaren, which went beyond mere business. She highlighted the hope that the next owner would appreciate and care for the collection as Mansour did. The anticipation surrounding how much the collection will fetch is sure to capture the interest of car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
With its blend of nostalgia, automotive excellence, and the emotional legacy left behind, this collection isn’t just a sale; it’s a tribute to a man whose passion for McLaren shaped much of its history.
