McLaren: the name conjures images of bellowing Orange Can Am racers, delicately sculpted Formula 1 racers and fabulous road cars like this breathtaking 2014 P1 Hybrid. Boasting chassis number 2, this McLaren P1 was the earliest serial number available to the public and – since McLaren kept serial number 1 – this McLaren P1 is the earliest chassis number in private hands today.

A one-owner jewel, the supercar was delivered new in May 2014 with a painted carbon fiber body. Later in the production cycle, McLaren announced their plans to offer a limited number of cars with exposed carbon fiber body panels. The owner shipped the car back to McLaren in September 2015 to be fitted with an exposed carbon-fiber body and upon completion, McLaren shipped the completed car back in December 2015 and then later the original painted body in three separate crates.

McLaren built only four or five exposed carbon fiber cars after the end of the original production run, however this P1 is the only example that was converted from a painted to exposed-finished body by the factory. The original body will be included in the sale of the car with complimentary shipping to a location within the continental United States.
