Wow. I've never seen that pic before, thanks. I have no info on it. Where did you find the pic?

Most likely that is good old #065 as Singapore was its reported landing point after leaving the London showroom and being sold by McLaren last year.

Cool pic - its nice to see they didn't change much before it went - Thanks!!

Cool - I hope that you get to see the car and can bring some stuff back to share.

I happen to think the web is a wonderful place, as I just managed to find these two additional photos of #065 in the showroom in Singapore.

Okay here's the story!

That's 065 from the london showroom, the only "brand new" specimen left.
Automobil Manufactur bought the car. It was in a room with a Zonda S and a Mercedes CLK GTR.

It isn't for sale (although everything has a price) and I didn't get to get in because the keys were locked up in a safe and the boss wasn't around. Anyway i know now that its more or less permanently here so I can return anytime and maybe catch them when they start the car for its weekly warmup.

Anyway, on a side note, i got taken for a ride (these guys are really nice and not snooty) in a limited edition 620bhp handcrafted Merc E55. That baby has so much low end torque it presses you to the back of the seat and the press of a pedal.

Insane:)

Anyway I didn't take that many shots because I was busy talking to them about it (I can always go again), but I don't know how to host them.

Sweet - glad to hear that you got to see the car and that they were so friendly and open - that's pretty rare. It's also good to know this thing isn't lost forever or hidden away somewhere.

I'm happy to hear I was correct on it being #065. Lucky guess really... ;)

Anyway, you can put up your pics on Imagestation.com and provide a link, or use Imageshack.us and post the pics as you upload them, or you can email them to me and I will make sure they make it on here.

BTW: If you do get inside the car at some point, I'd love to get a photo or find out what is written on that small plaque on the left chassis spar ahead of the e-brake handle. I don't recall seeing anything like that in any other McLarens in the past. I assume it has some significance relating to the car being the last one sold, but I could be wrong.

I've never noticed that bit before; it certainly wasnt there when I saw it in the Park lane showroom so I guess it must be a plaque for the last F1 sold 'new' like you state; something like this off #075 possibly

Right, I'm off trawling through the web to see what I can find........

I have just tried to email SPS to see if they can shed any light on the car they have for sale as well as clarifying what the plaque does indeed say, but each email contact gets bounced back.........
