Ugly and pointless. IMHBCO.
Stunning in the flesh . The long tail looked lovely from the rear view
I’ll agree beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it’s still utterly pointless. Other mclarens will handle better. You’re buying a potential max speed which is of use in 2 or 3 places around the work or a top trumps game
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Nothing to do with cars, but I can't help wondering what they sell here?

Look at the body on this! Hours and hours of hard graft.

I bid on a black M1 at an RM Auction in Monaco some years ago ( probably 2007-ish) the guide price was £50,000 - I went to £65k and as I recall it sold for £75k which everyone ( including me ) thought was absolutely outrageous at the time ! If only, etc etc

You need to be good at "Twister" to get in and out of one, the steering wheel sits about five inches from your chest - not very comfortable, but I suppose that's not really the point !

Always fancied one of those. Stupidly I turned down the chance to buy an ex-works car that had been dismantled in the seventies. It was five hundred quid and I’d no idea how difficult it was to get the parts then.
