The 1996 McLaren F1 GTR, known as the “Pop Art F1” and formerly owned by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, heads to RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction on August 15 with estimates exceeding $35 million, positioning it as a potential record-setter for the marque. Its rarity as one of just nine 1996-spec short-tail prototypes, combined with Le Mans-winning lineage, one-off 1990s livery, and celebrity provenance, has fueled collector enthusiasm and presale buzz. Recent coverage in automotive outlets highlights how these factors—plus strong recent F1 sales—elevate market-implied odds for a landmark hammer price, though final results hinge on bidder turnout during Monterey Car Week.
