McLaren F1 GTRs generally trade for lower prices than their road car counterparts. There are a few factors that play into this - limited use potential, high running costs, few spares available. Even the F1 GTRs which have been converted for road use typically sell for a lower figure than a standard F1 road car. Perhaps this will change as the GTRs get older and more opportunity to participate in historic racing with them becomes the norm.

Also, this F1 GTR competed in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans wearing this livery placing 13th overall. It did not race at Le Mans in 1994 - in fact none of the F1 GTRs had even been built in 1994.

The César livery was applied to this car following the 7th round of the 1995 BPR GT series at Montlhéry held May 14th, 1995. The Le Mans race that year took place on June 18th, 1995 and the car was unveiled when removed from the transporter for the first time at the start of the week. There was also a similar livery applied to the team's Venturi 600 LM.
