If you’ve got a spare £10 million stuck down the back of the sofa and aren’t sure how to spend it, may we suggest that you splash out on a McLaren F1, which has just gone on the market for a pretty impressive asking price of £9.5 million.

According to Classic Cars For Sale, McLaren Special Operations has maintained the vehicle and is now offering it as new to some pre-approved buyers. So perhaps you won’t be able to get your mitts on this particular vehicle but we’re sure you can find something else to spend your £10 million on!
​
This particular car comes in Carbon Black and all the extras you could ever want that the manufacturer is renowned for. We’re talking about a Tag Heuer owner’s watch, special books, a boxed titanium toolkit and fitted luggage. What’s more, it’s one of the last six F1s that McLaren ever made and has only done around 2,800 miles… so whoever does end up with it is buying a bit of history, as well as ensuring they look nothing but amazing on the roads.

If you are in the market for a new old classic car, what about investing in a 1961 Jaguar E-Type instead? This brand is all about style and even Enzo Ferrari called it the “most beautiful car ever made”. Or you could go for the 1964 Aston Martin DB5. After all, if it’s good enough for James Bond, then it’s good enough for us.

Whatever car you do end up investing in, make sure you drop it in to Dorset car storage company Tordown Storage if you’re going on an extended trip. We’ll make sure it’s well taken care of while you’re away.

Who doesn’t like going on holiday? As long as you’re organised and arrange Dorset car storage before you go so you know your cars are going to be properly looked after.

New research from Expedia has just revealed some surprising benefits of going on holiday, including weight loss, better skin and a boost in confidence, the Daily Mail reports.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, 81 per cent stated that they felt better after having been away, with 46 per cent of those asked saying they felt more relaxed. Some 42 per cent reported feeling happier and 35 per cent said they felt less stressed.

Psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos, who assisted with the research, commented on the findings, saying: “One of the best things about holidays is that by coming out of your routine you don't have to worry about must-dos and can have new experiences on your terms. You're free to do as much or a little as you like, which in turn makes you feel more relaxed. This can help reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which when significantly elevated in the body can have a negative impact on organs such as the skin.”

Of course, holidaying is only stress-free if you know you’ve left your home locked up tight, with your belongings properly looked after. Cars are one item you should be extra careful with, which is why you should consider using a local car storage facility to ensure they’re safe until you return from your trip.
