Rowan Atkinson in his McLaren F1 shortly before he crashed it in 2011. See SWNS story SWROWAN; Rowan Atkinson is laughing all the way to the bank after he put his infamous McLaren F1 supercar on the market for a whopping £8 MILLION. The comic icon, 60, bought the British supercar new in 1997 for a then staggering £540,000. However, he has crashed the 241mph car on two occasions, once into a Metro and in 2011 he lost control on a slippery bend and smashed into a tree. The second crash ended in what is thought to be the UK’s highest ever single car insurance payout, with the car costing £900,000 to be repaired.
