Here's a couple pics:

One with the original wheels.



I pulled the original wheels off to get them refinished so here is a pic of it with the 16" Rikens it is rolling around on now.



I lub McLarens.

I've had 4 SVO's. One (85) I traded for a '65 Corvair convertable, one (85)was totaled so I parted it out. I have an 84 with a staight body (no engine)and a totaled 240hp 86 with a Motorsport roller cam and a Motorsport head. I've got alot of extra parts, including a complete 85 engine, turbo, intercooler, and wiring harness.

Ive never seen one of those.
Around here a dealer had an '87 McLaren convertible out for a while but I think he finally sold it.

The top kinda makes the McLaren convertible look like a Mercedes for a quick second.

I am planning a complete restoration of it. It should be an easy one since it is out of Texas. The car doesnt have one panel on it that will need to be replaced before paint. No rust at all.

I even have the original decal kit that goes on the car.

This car isnt going to be nearly as difficult to restore as the '82 GT I have which is stripped to a rolling shell and had to have the complete floor pan replaced.
