Supercars once owned by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button to be auctioned by Broad Arrow with unmatched Formula One pedigree.
In an unprecedented pairing of motorsport prestige and supercar excellence, Broad Arrow Auctions will offer two McLaren MP4-12C models formerly owned by Formula One World Champions Sir Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at the inaugural Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction this May.
Each car represents a cornerstone of McLaren Automotive’s modern era and a direct connection to the championship-winning insights of two of the sport’s most revered drivers. The MP4-12C marked McLaren’s return to production supercars following the legacy of the F1, with Hamilton and Button providing critical feedback during its development.
Hamilton’s Volcano Red MP4-12C, chassis number SBM11AAB4CW000132, was delivered to the seven-time World Champion in 2012. With just 8,500 kilometers and an interior finished in Harissa Red leather and Black Alcantara, the car features numerous bespoke options including carbon fiber exterior accents and a rare swipe-to-open door function. Configured personally at McLaren’s Woking headquarters, it reflects Hamilton’s vision of a driver-focused supercar.
Meanwhile, Button’s Elite Pearl White MP4-12C, chassis SBM11AAB4CW000764, carries just 12,000 kilometers and comes with a right-hand drive configuration. Originally specified in consultation with McLaren Monaco, it boasts Harissa Red and Black leather, carbon interior trim, and the understated elegance befitting the 2009 World Champion.
“These are not just any MP4-12Cs,” said Joe Twyman, Broad Arrow’s EMEA VP of Sales. “They are the personal cars of two Formula One icons who helped shape the model itself.”
Offered with estimates of €175,000–€225,000 for Hamilton’s car and €125,000–€150,000 for Button’s, these MP4-12Cs fuse automotive innovation with motorsport history—an irresistible opportunity for collectors at the famed Villa d’Este auction.
