An astounding collection of McLaren road cars spanning the brand’s history has been snapped up by a single buyer in a secretive deal.

The lineup of 20 vehicles came from the collection of the late Mansour Ojjeh, the former CEO of TAG Group and an investor in the McLaren Formula 1 team since the 1980s.

His company will be best known by most for its stake in TAG Heuer watches, along with financing the development of the Porsche-built engines that powered McLaren to F1 success during that period.

Almost every vehicle in the collection is the last example to roll off the production line, with Ojjeh requesting the final chassis for each vehicle to ensure all technical updates made during the production cycle featured in his cars.

Also unique to almost every car – aside from a 2016 675LT Carbon Series and a 2020 Senna – is a distinct shade of orange paint, which McLaren named ‘Mansour Orange’ in his honour and prevented any other customer from specifying.

Aside from a 1998 F1 with 1810km on the clock and a 2016 P1 GTR that had been occasionally used at McLaren track days, the other 18 cars in the collection only have delivery mileage.

The sale was handled by UK-based Tom Hartley Jnr, who announced the news via Instagram.

“I am very pleased to share the news that we have agreed a sale of the Mansour Ojjeh McLaren Collection in its entirety to a single buyer,” his post reads.

“Despite receiving several world-record offers for individual chassis, both the Ojjeh family and [my] team were committed to keeping this remarkable collection together as one complete and historic ensemble.”

The exact cost the mystery buyer spent on the collection, nor who they are and where they’re based has been revealed.

This sale of this collection follows Tom Hartley Jnr recently purchasing what was Australia’s only McLaren F1, chassis ‘009’, which is now back in the UK where it was once built.
