Nth your are on your own here .. McLaren F1 is a very special car built to a very unique and exacting specification. Read the book "Driving ambition" to appreciate the car's specialness.

And the point about the clutch, yes it lasts 3,000 miles but it was one of those things that would have been improved if the car remained in production for longer. And BTW, cars like the F50 also have some unique "service" requirements like changing the entire rubber fuel tank every 10 years or so.

If you can spend USD 1.3 MM on a car, you can spend $30K to service it.

Remember the car was produced at a time when there was a global collapse of the stock markets triggered from Asia - so it was a bad time to be selling million dollar supercars.
