Now, his unparalleled personal collection is offered from 20 McLaren cars on the road for sale by the Tom Hartley merchant JNR Ltd.
For gathering and lovers alike, this is more than just a moment of transactions – it is a rare opportunity to gain a historical history McLaren A sponsorship group that helped make McLaren F1 a reality.
A legacy rooted in the race and innovation
Born in 1952, Ojjeh was the son of the Syrian Saudi businessman Akram Ojjeh, founder of the Tesniques D’Abant Garde. With a French mother and a global education that extends to Europe and the United States, Mansour Oge has developed an international perspective from an early age. After graduating from Menlo College and obtained a master’s degree from the University of Santa Clara, he joined Tag and began to forge his legacy.
Its early cars collection included icons such as Lamborghini Countach and Rolls-Royce Corniche, which ultimately ripen in the Ferrari kings with models such as 250 California Spider and 288 GTO. But it was a visit to the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, which turned his interest in cars from personal passion to professional ambition.
After the Williams F1 sponsorship between 1979 and 1982, Ojeh’s vision deviated from the heads of the team manager Frank Williams-especially regarding his desire to build the ultimate car. This difference led to his decision to invest in McLaren, forever changing the Formula 1 path and high -performance road cars.
Tag-Porsche Power game
Ojjeh acquired a stake in McLaren in 1984 for $ 5 million. This investment helped launch a new golden era for the team. With support from TAG, McLaren has developed the V6 engines created by Porsche, which led to three championships for Formula 1 operating programs and the nickname between 1984 and 1987.
Ojjeh also acquired the Swiss watchmaker Heuer in 1985, named the brand as Tag Heuer, which was later sold to LVMH for $ 740 million. However, his dream of producing an unexpected super car remained.
This vision began to crystallize in 1988, after McLaren lost the perfect F1 season in Monza. In a superficial moment now at the airport, Oger, Ron Dennis, Cretton Brown and Gordon Murray imagined what will become McLaren F1. Draw the car immediately: consisting of three lightweight seats with central driving mode, BMW V12 and Monocoque from the first in a production car.
The result was historical. The GTR version of McLaren F1 to LE MANS explicitly lasted in 1995, and another variable recorded a quick record of 240.1 miles per hour in 1998, becoming the fastest car in its era and one of the most famous cars ever.
McLaren masterpiece format
The McLaren F1’s personal journey from Ojjeh began with the 036 structure, which ended in faded blue metals with the interior of the blue cantara. He later replaced it with the 075 structure, the final standard production of F1, which originally belonged to his brother, and a detailed drawing inspired by Château d’hQuem. Hue became known as “Mansour Orange”, who was called McLaren in his honor and is not available to anyone else.
When McLaren Automotive launched a road car department in 2010, Ojjeh began building what is widely considered a group of the most complete McLaren Road cars ever. The prominent points include:
● F1
● MP4-12C
● P1 gtr
● Speed speed
● Sina
● Elfa
● Saber
● Many long long variables and LE MANS
Each car was requested with the final structure number and factory specifications. Everything is still in the case of delivery, with the exception of F1 and P1 GTR. Under OJJEH Instructions, McLaren has maintained the fleet – an honor that gives him any other mosque.
More than one collector
Ojeh effect extended beyond the garage walls. As a co -owner and a member of the Board of Directors, he helped direct McLaren to seven facilities from Formula 1 and 10 drivers. He also played a major role in establishing McLaren Applied Technologies, which enhances the brand mode as a performance creator.
Despite his acumen, Oger was known for his loyalty, humility and passion. When he passed away in 2021, salutations flowed from all international societies for sports and luxury.
Now, four years later, his widow, Cathy Oge, shares her ideas about selling: “McLaren meant a lot for Mansour. He was more than work, and he was pure passion and in this context he would study this unique group of McLaren cars on a road. “Last Of Legends” collection It is a treasure for our family – a reminder of the hours in which we witnessed Mansour designing every car on its specifications.
He had an extraordinary talent for the amazement and admiration, a talent led by the passion he sponsored for many years with McLaren. The separation with this very personal group is not easy, but it is time to go to its new guardian, the person who is really “gets it and will be proud to possess and care for the way Mansor did.”
A rare opportunity for plural amateurs
This is more than just the McLaren Group for sale-it is a single life opportunity to gain a set of rare rare signs manufactured from a man who lived the brand from the Pit Lane line to the production line. Each vehicle reflects the vision of a person who was not just a donor to McLaren, but he is an architect participating for his largest victories.
For those who understand the difference in the source, scarcity and passion, this group is a flowing honor for the permanent legacy of Oger in the luxurious performance and the history of motorsport.
