Built in 2022, this McLaren Elva - with an exact top speed of 203 mph - boasts a unique opportunity to a wealthy enthusiast looking to buy a piece of the brand's history.
With chassis number one, it is indeed first ever Elva to roll off of the British brand's production line.
Finished with a plush, matt grey colour, the super-fast set of wheels has a four-litre, twin-turbocharged 804 bhp engine that can hit 0 to 60 mph in a staggering 2.8 seconds.
The previous owner, who reportedly spent an additional £77,000 on various add-ons, seemingly didn't use it very much - as it comes with just eight kilometres on the clock or the equivalent to 4.9 miles.
