A 2006 McLaren F1 car has been auctioned.

The MP-4 21 was driven by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and designed by Adrian Newey.

It was auctioned ꦰby on Friday with a guide price of £2.2m-£2.7m, according to Top Gear.

The MP-4 21 was one♐ of the first F1 cars to be tested by a then-21 year old Hamilton.

It was the creation of car designer extraordinai🎶re Newey in his final year with McLaren.

It was then driven by Juan Pablo Montoya in the first thrꦏee grand🏅s prix of the 2006 F1 season.

It was the first McLare💮n powered by a Mercedes-Benz FO108S 2.4-liter naturally aspirated V-𝓰8 engine.

This car, chassis 21A-03, has been restored to functional specification. It retains its engine, gearbox, onb🌠oard computer, and steering wheel.

The rarity of this auctioned car is that it isn’t often a Hamilto🐻n-driven F1 car exists outside of a factory collection.

A year later, in 2007, Hamilton would claim his first F1 championship. This MP-4 21 played a ♈small part in his historic feat, as an early test car for the legendary driver.

The auction began days ღago meaning somebody out there - someone with a spare seven-figure sum - will soon be the proud new owner of the McLaren MP-4 21.
