That's chassis #028 - formerly owned by Cliff Meltzer in the bay area. It was sold through SVAG for just a hair over $1.8M to someone in the Orange County, CA area who to this point remains nameless. Nice to see that person is actually using the car though. Someone from Symbollic Motocars in LaJolla who delivered the car after some minor paintwork mentioned that the new owner of the car is rather private and it was unlikely that the car would be seen with the frequency it had been before.

I was in Atlata today and stopped by and saw the Orange F1. 25,000 miles per the saleman - $300K in recipts for service completed on the car over its life. Started new in Germany and came to US to current owner from there. Car was in nice shape, but showed the milage versus some other low milage examples I have seen.
The Enzo was immaculate, as new. Asking $1.3 million - seems like a nice example for someone looking for an Enzo.

there must be at least 4 mclaren f1's in the bay area. i recall seeing one near stanford mall (palo alto)...it was beigish/greyish a few years back.
There's also a blue one that i've seen pictures of.
Then the yellow one at SVAG.
Last one would be one discussed in this thread.
I wonder how many are in cali?

) It is chassis #062 and is silver/black. Elon Musk owns chassis #067 and lives in Bel Air, CA. He commutes to his office in El Segundo in the F1 about once a week I am told. He was the former CEO of PayPal, but now runs a company called SpaceX. That car is also silver/black.
Jay Leno owns chassis #015 and keeps it in one of his garages in Burbank, CA near the airport. The car is black/black with a red stripe on the vent line of the door.
The last CA car I'm aware of in CA is #028 and as mentioned above, it's new owner remains a mystery. Should be in the Newport/LaJolla area.

This car originally belonged to the Sultan of Brunei. It came to the USA after a stop in the UK at McLaren for a mild refresh and was Gary Schaevitz' first F1. The car still has "issues" brought on by it's original owner that were not resolved during the refresh and it will likely never sell for the price that SVAG wants for it. It should be there a while unless they can find someone with deep pockets that loves the #014 (it's chassis number) or really likes the color yellow and has money to throw around. I haven't seen it in person yet but I hear the car needs some paint work, is missing some of the items that are normally included with the car, and has not received any of the updates other F1s have had that sell for the price SVAG is asking.
Larry Ellison's F1 is still here in CA, though it was sold to someone else this year. I have the new owner's name somewhere but can't remember it off the top of my head. It stayed local to the bay area when it was sold - Larry had it in a plane hangar in Atherton and claimed he hardly ever drove the car. Rumor has it that the car was traded during the purchase of an Enzo that was given to his son as a graduation present. (Must be nice ) It is chassis #062 and is silver/black.

The car in the Exotic Spotter photo is actually red, and to my knowledge has never been to Crystal Cove. It only moved that area late last year. It would be great if the new owner would show up there one weekend with the car.
