WhackyWill Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 This very rare, one off red-on-white McLaren F1, worth over $3 million, lost control, flipped over and crashed into a tree while participating in a convoy of 4 Mclaren F1s. Actor, Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), was part of the convoy and was the first to aid the driver and passenger, both of whom survived. Mr. Bean crashed his own Mclaren F1 a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8urShMlqN2E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It was worth more than £3mil imho. But they can be fully rebuilt at McLaren of course for a little sum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oh my word....I think if I'd been the driver I might have wished I'd died when I saw the state of the car. So did the recovery vechicle just happen to be carrying a perfect fit McLaren F1 car cover? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Rowan Atkinson has crashed his F1 twice now. The first time he took out a Rover Metro in 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 So did the recovery vechicle just happen to be carrying a perfect fit McLaren F1 car cover? Probably already had one onboard the crashed vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
