Check out his album:

That car looks to be very low mileage and worth every penny.

I think that it's as nice as mine, or darn close ! IF it was an automatic tranny car, I would buy it >> yesterday; but....but.... then I would need a good divorce lawyer to represent me..... or so I am told.....by Mrs. Block !

I like the OEM tires on it. Mine has those, too.

Regarding the T-Top comment......no you really do not want that. On BuMpY roads they shift and give you little "knocks" above your head.; they have been known to leak in downpours AND every few years (5 or so) you have to replace the rubber around the roof part as due to climatic changes it gets "hard" and looses some flexability and does not "butt" tightly against the removable panels, again causing loose fit and shifting noises & water droplets in rain. Not that you would ever do it, BUT you also cannot go thru hi pressure car washes with T-Tops or you'll ride home on a very wet seat !!
(Cloth, no less) !

Don't let the lack of T-Tops kill it for you. In the end, you are better off without them.
Personally - I'd rather have the Power Door Lock option !

PS / DO NOT penalize THIS car for NOT having the Pwr. Door Locks - as they did not become available ON ascMcLaren Coupes, until 1986 units.
Also, the 1985s did niot have Dash Plaques, so......it is NOT missing !

A nicer example than this is almost impossible to find......

i could not tell for sure. when i got to see the car it was in a dark garage. but its very clean. there was 1 spot on the door that looked like a repaint. it sort of looks like pant chipped off with more paint under it.

Looks like it might be a spot where the clear chipped.
