Rowan Atkinson sells McLaren F1

Mr Bean star sells the supercar he crashed twice for undisclosed amount after putting it on market for ￡8 million with specialist car dealer Taylor and Crawley

Rowan Atkinson has made a bumper profit after selling the ￡8 million supercar he famously crashed twice in one of the UK's biggest ever deals.

The comic actor bought his beloved McLaren F1 in 1997 for around ￡540,000. In 2011, after crashing into a hedge in Oxfordshire, his insurance company was handed a ￡910,000 repair bill in what is thought to be the biggest-ever single car insurance claim.
