McLaren is putting five fully operational Formula One cars from its racing history up for sale, including cars associated with Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris, with one of the models also driven by Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.

The cars, spanning 1991 to 2023, will be sold individually through specialist dealer Tom Hartley Jnr. McLaren will prepare them for their new owners, with the collection expected to fetch tens of millions of pounds.

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said the decision was motivated by a desire to see the historic cars driven rather than kept in storage.

“These cars were built to be driven and raced, and we want to see them being used and enjoyed,” Brown said in a statement on Sunday.

The collection includes two Honda V12-powered MP4/6A cars raced by Gerhard Berger and tested by Senna during McLaren’s championship-winning 1991 season. The cars finished second at the San Marino and British Grands Prix, respectively.

Also available is a 2012 MP4/27A driven by former world champion Jenson Button and tested by seven-time champion Hamilton.

Two cars raced by Norris complete the collection. The 2021 MCL35M secured podium finishes at Imola, Monaco and Monza, while the 2023 MCL60 featured in McLaren’s resurgence, with Norris finishing second in consecutive races in Singapore and Japan.

Pitt drove a 2023 McLaren MCL60 during a private test at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin in June 2025, following filming for F1: The Movie. The actor reached a top speed of 197mph (317kph).

Although no official prices have been announced, the cars are estimated to fetch between 5 million and 10 million pounds each.

Hartley, who previously handled the sale of Bernie Ecclestone’s F1 collection and Mansour Ojjeh’s McLaren road cars, said there was no deadline for the sales, with the priority being to find suitable buyers.
