Become the cool owner of Jenson Button's McLaren P1!

If you're a Jenson Button fan with some hard cash to spare, you have an opportunity to put yourself in the 2009 World Champion's former drivers' seat.

Now living the good life in California, Button's rare presence in the UK meant he didn't get to drive his one-of-a-kind 2015 McLaren P1 as often as he liked,  therefore deciding to part with the stunning supercar.

The P1's sale is being handled by British specialist Steve Hurn and features a series of unique McLaren Special Operations upgrades, including its Grauschwartz Grey paint with Stealth Pack and a unique 'Track Mode 2' option.

The price you ask ? A cool £160,000. Any takers?

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
