Mr. Bean sells his McLaren F1 for 11 million euros

If you have it available eight million pounds it could be yours. The actor Rowan Atkinson, better known to the general public as the interpreter of Mister Bean, has put his dark purple McLaren F1 from 1997 up for sale at a cost of 10,7 million euros. The separation between the lover of cars that few can afford and one of the sports cars rarest in England, arrives after eighteen years, 41 thousand miles traveled and two disastrous accidents, one in 2009 and one in 2011, the most serious. Precisely on this last occasion, Atkinson lost control of the car, completely destroying the rear and crashing against a pole of road signs.

Mr. Bean's McLaren F1 is one of the most exclusive sports cars in the United Kingdom, the 61st example of the 64 built based on the design of former Formula 1 engineer Gordon Murray. Despite the price, it is difficult to imagine that Atkinson's sports car will remain without a new owner for long.
