craggsy 91 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Looks to me like a Mclaren convertible......I think A football player had one Link to post Share on other sites

vr-koj 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 luv the number plate BTW, though something tells me that it aint the retail value of the car, roflmao !!! Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Probably the cost of the paint work alone!Its probably a MP's car, only they can afford these cars and paint jobs seeing as its all free for them! The blue badge is probably another scam! Link to post Share on other sites
daleyboyVR6 6 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think that would have hit the papers an expense claim for a paint job like that. Nearly as ridiculous as the floating duck house................... ^o) Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yer clearly only joking about the MP comment, as if any of those boring bar stools even know what an SLR is!!! Link to post Share on other sites

b19drg 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 The paint job probably is not a paint job but a vinyl wrap ! I used to do some work for the Gumball rally and alot of them are wrapped Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 The paint job probably is not a paint job but a vinyl wrap !I was thinking exactly the same thing. A very cost effective way of having a unique car and protecting the original paintwork. Keeps the value of the car up when you come to sell it also as it won't show on the log book as having a colour change or so i'm told Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 ive also noticed that its a 722 convertable by the looks of it Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 The 722 s has graphite grey wheels ,these are the Turbines as fitted to the standard SLR , the 722 convertible is hyper rare, think this is a standard one Link to post Share on other sites
