There is at least 1 in Asia, I have heard of one in the UK but haven't had proper confirmation of that, and I beleive there may be one coming up soon in the US. The Americans may have more info on that though........

PS - that's quite a jump, from 1/43 to 1/1

your customer is in USA ? He may contact Taylor and Crawley in the UK.

No idea, whether one of those cars is still available - but it's at least worth trying:

For serious inquiries he should contact Harold Dermott at the McLaren Headquarters (by fax on +44 1483 772330) or Jörg Schäfer from the German Service Centre ([email protected]).

Symbolic car has gone already, the SPS car has been there for a while, perhaps they haven't updated their site for a while?..............

That isn't going to do it. The real market is much more than 2 Mil for a stock road car today. 3 Mil sounds like a lot, but it isn't too far off the mark. I believe the best he could do is around 2.5 for a car with miles.

If we are talking $ then yes, $2m is a little low, especially as seeing #018 sold for £1.8m (~$3.5m)

The only one to have changed hands was sold for either $2.75M or $4M a little over three years ago depending on which version of the story on. Values of the standard road car at that time were still hovering at around $1.5M for reference.
