If you were a prospective buyer for a McLaren Speedtail but you missed the boat, you’ll be happy to hear that a build slot for the model has become available. But it won’t come cheap: it’ll run you $5.5 million to take your place in the queue for next year’s delivery.

Still, the opportunity is a rare one. The fascinatingly future-is-now English exotic has a production number set in stone: 106. All examples were sold—at $2.25 million—before the car hit the mainstream news. So the appearance of a build slot comes as a second chance for a collector who happened to be just a bit late to the party the first time around.

The reason for the rather severe price differential? This second-chance offer comes by way of a used car dealer in Dubai, who’s scalping this ticket at a premium. And looking to retire a year or two earlier than expected, perhaps.

If disposable income allows, and a Speedtail in the collection is a necessity, it will be worth investigating. With legal counsel along for the ride, of course.
