What would the 1989 equivalent be ? I thought it was also from a Cadillac ? Hank has them only for EXCHANGE for US$332 and that is a tad difficult for me in Australia -- easier to BUY one and ship it

Farewell 89 McLaren in Australia - selling off or scrapping

Well, looks like time has finally come for me to unload my beloved 1989 ASC McLaren convertible (#241). It WAS 1 of 5 imported into Australia and converted to RHD. I believe it is the sole survivor of the 5 still on the road here.

Last six months had an engine problem -- car started idling rough ...

Is it really worth $24K ??

How many of these 10 you think are still on the road ?? Which brings up an interesting point, just how many of the ENTIRE production are still on the road ?? Are they really rarer than we think ??
