The world famous yellow McLaren P1 shown floating in the floodwaters of hurricane Ian in Naples Florida has a new home.

The car was purchased by YouTuber Tavarish.

Before the flood, the car was valued at between 2 and 2.5 million dollars. It was purchased for $575,000

Might be interesting watching Freddy (his actual name) try and bring this back to life.

I opened this, half expecting to see a picture of it in your garage 😀

Oh noooo, not me! I KNOW what salt water does to wiring and computers! And it is NOT good!

At that price, there’s a million dollar budget for repairs 🤣

Take it fully apart. Put it back. Freddy can do it in 6months. Maybe.

Neat. Glad it got a home. Every time I think I’d like to restore something I think how many likely years I have left and pass. But he’s a young guy with help and equipment.

One thing though, why did he have an under cover fbi guy in the truck with him?
