Damaged McLaren sold at auction

Posted on 28 June, 2017

A McLaren sport's car that was written off just 150 metres after the Point Chevalier on-ramp in Auckland, has been sold for an undisclosed sum. The 2015 McLaren 650S crashed in April 22, this year, and was being driven by 57-year-old executive, Heng Loon Chee who pleaded guilty to careless driving in Auckland District Court in May. Manheim.co.nz auctioned the vehicle over the internet on the morning of June 27, but would not confirm how much it ended up selling for or who it was sold to. Manheim New Zealand national salvage manager Michael Fernandes told the NZ Herald that the vehicle was being sold online "to allow the global salvage market to partake in the auction and not miss the opportunity to own this diamond in the rough".
