A rare McLaren supercar has been snapped up for a bargain £1.5million at auction.
The blue Speedtail model was one of just 106 ever made.
It was tipped to sell for over £2million when it went under the hammer.
Brand new it was worth £1.75million when it was made just over three years ago.
The 250mph, three-seater super machine has barely been driven.
It has done just 56 miles – an average of about 18 miles per year.
The McLaren is also in an “impeccable, as-new condition.”

The sale price was £1,583,882 ($2,012,500).
But it was still £166,118 cheaper than it was when it was driven off the forecourt in 2020.
It means each mile it has been driven has knocked £2,966 off the asking price.
The flash motor – which boasts a 1,034bhp, 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine – was sold by RM Sotheby’s.
It was the most expensive car sold at its auction on 25 January, in Phoenix, Arizona, US.
A RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “In 2020, McLaren dramatically rekindled the spirit of its seminal F1 supercar with the launch of the futuristic Speedtail.
“An exclusive machine at the leading edge of 21st-century hypercar performance that, like its predecessor, was limited to only 106 units.
“As with the F1, the Speedtail is built around a lightweight carbon-fibre tub and features the same three-person seating configuration, with the driver in the centre, as well as vertical dihedral doors.
“The similarities are clear, but advances in technology over the past three decades abound.”
They added: “This is particularly true of the Speedtail’s exhilarating hybrid powertrain.
“The 723-horsepower 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is a thoughtful evolution of the McLaren P1’s engine, featuring a revised piston design and enhanced cylinder-head cooling.
“The Speedtail’s electric motor and battery, meanwhile, were both developed by McLaren’s Formula E technology group.
“The motor smooths out power delivery at low engine speeds, providing an additional 312 horsepower for a total output of 1,035 horsepower, and a jaw-dropping top speed of 250mph.”
