McLaren Elva – die Sammlung

Das Erlebnis

Ohja, wir lieben den McLaren Elva. Sehr sogar. Er bescherte uns eines der besten Fahrerlebnisse aller Zeiten, wir hoffen, wir konnten das auch einigermassen in passende Worte fassen, hier nachzulesen. Es ist aber wohl so, dass wir da zu den ganz Wenigen gehören, die dieses Fahrzeug herrlich finden, zuerst musste McLaren die Produktion von geplanten 399 Stück auf noch 149 Exemplare kappen – und dann kam noch manch ein gutes Stück ganz schnell wieder in den Verkauf. Meist: ungefahren. Und wer dachte, eine gute Investition gemacht zu haben, der hat sich (bislang) auch geschnitten, der Neupreis wurde nur selten erreicht. Eine Sammlung ist das aber auf jeden Fall wert, auch mit Blick in die Zukunft, denn eben: grossartiges Automobil.
