[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Not the crappy mini....the other one.

The 'other one' being a 1997 McLaren F1 with 41,000 miles under it's wheels.

For those of you who are genuinely interested in buying the car, the price is a mere £8 million.

This represents a good investment on the paltry £540,000 purchase price in 1997.


Only Aaron, Taxi Al, and Andy B....eanz need apply.

Any mention of the fact that it went backwards through a tree a while ago

Nope.

Surely this makes it worth scrap value only.

Lol,it had a million quid spent on it to straighten it out

Ricky was in charge of the spannering.

Yep.....I believe Phil and Grant Mitchell did the work at 'The Arches'...

Apparently, when it was first mentioned a few weeks back, it was suggested that rather than being a museum piece, the fact that the car had been used regularly, crashed and rebuilt and generally enjoyed in a noexpensespared manner actually made it more interesting and therefore more desirable/valuable...

Are you going to put an offer in, Al?

The Macca ia only a small step from a  E class Merc.

Almost as many seats

With 41,000 on the clock is it about to become a money pit? If so, it sounds like the desirable sister-in-law/general pussy puller mid-life crisis car that Lord Opti has been searching and searching for and at £8m, for M'lud, that's loose change money, so he won't even have to pay a visit to his dovecot.

If it were a mere six million I could be tempted.

Eight million is too much for an old macca that has been wrapped around a tree like Marc Bolan's mini.

Being white, I'm not sure Lord Opti would want the expense of a constant stream of Kosovars having to wash and polish it every time it went so far as even looking at a road.

However, he would be able to hand out the accompanying air fresheners to his friends by the box load.
