High-Octane Glamor: 30 Celebrity Cars That Define Luxury and Vintage Cool
Rowan Atkinson—McLaren “F1”, $12.2 Million
While many know Rowan Atkinson for his iconic Mr. Bean antics, in reality, he’s a passionate automobile enthusiast. In 1997, he shelled out a whopping USD 830K for a McLaren “F1″—a staggering figure, especially for the 1990s. But considering only 106 of these were produced, with a mere 64 being road cars, the price tag seems justified.
Over 17 years and 65,000 km, his (mis)adventures led to two crashes, one of which resulted in Britain’s largest car insurance payout. In 2015, the F1 fetched a jaw-dropping USD 12.2 million at auction, and Mr. Bean made a fantastic profit on this legendary ride.
