This is a pretty AMAZING story, many enthusiasts will not be to happy to hear this, but in the same time will rejoice, this 1996 "king of all cars" McLaren F1 has only ZERO miles and is FOR SALE! ... has never seen the outdoors and has been stored since day ONE that arrived to Japan.
The Yellow looks pretty hot also, the BMW Powered V12 seems to work perfect, of course, appears to be well maintained so it runs perfect, is to be expected to sell for way above 4.5 million American dollars.

We were approached by Erik Reynolds, which is considered by many, the authority when it comes to the McLaren F1 legacy, and he has informed us this car has indeed been stored since delivered, but has the miles one might expect are put from Factory, please read below:
What is believed to be chassis #060 has now surfaced in Japan on the website of the exotics dealer, ArtSports.
This car is rumored to have less than 300kms on it, having never been registered since new. That black mark on the rear bumper is the signature of the car's creator, Gordon Murray. The last time we saw this car the interior was still covered in its original delivery plastic.
It would appear this car is just entering the market today and it will be very interesting to see what happens with it now. If you're a buyer, I'd suggest contacting them soon.
Video: please skip to 6:30 to see this car, thanks again Erik for the amazing link!
It was last serviced in June 2010 by a factory technician so it was definitely driven at that point. I am sure in a case like this they try to limit the mileage they put on a car in that situation, but it would have definitely been driven then.
Video is in Japanese, but we are enthusiast so it don't matter! :D
