I believe Dangerous (used to post on here) saw this in London a few years back.

In fact, I have the pics:

Nice car:



Apparently used to have Harrods livery on it.
Photos above were taken in 2005 at the Ritz in Paris.

David Clark, the former sales/marketing manager at McLaren Cars who owns Taylor&Crawley in London owned it back then.

In Edinburgh he would be done for parking over the white line in his bay, even if he DID pay for his ticket...

Fucking love McLaren F1's. There was one in the Hyde Park McLaren show room years ago. Just used to go up and stare at it I would love to sit in one of these, let alone own one!

Love it too, but IMO they loo far better without the HD Kit. Think Evo a couple of months ago said that the Park Lane McLaren sold at auction for something like £2.6m. Was more than £1m more than expected.
