After crashing the car twice, actor Rowan Atkinson, most known for his portrayal of the goofy Mr. Bean, is selling his McLaren F1 with an asking price of $12 million.

Atkinson bought the car in 1997 for $810,000. Its price hike comes for a reason. In addition to the car’s celebrity-owned status, the last time Atkinson crashed the car was in 2011 when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree. McLaren rebuilt the car for $1,366,160, essentially making it new.

The car’s engine is a mid-mounted 6.1 liter V12 that pumps out 627 HP and goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and tops out at 241 MPH. It is a rear-wheel drive, has a manual transmission, and has no driving assists.
