this is a post from sandy from 6 years ago

Sandy wrote: Yes, I get telephone calls from all over the world. You'd be very surprised where owners have found me from, and called on the phone to ask advice, to ask me to put their car on the Registry, or just to yak-it-up.

Here are some of the places, and the cars:-

Switzerland (perfect English BTW) Black 89 with Sand Beige gut.
Italy - Red 1986 'Vert Sand Beige
Geneva - Azura Blue 88 Dark Blue top
Israel - Coupe - 1986 - White Full Pkg, brought back from states. Sun Roof - We spoke some Hebrew together - I learned how bad I was Rolling Eyes
Mexico - White '87 Blk top (WE SPOKE SPANISH TOGETHER) I did good Wink
Canada - MANY !!! (at least 5 or 6)
Holland - Paris Blue 86 'Vert
Paris France: Very broken eNgLiSh, was difficult. Black 'Vert 87 Red Int.
New Zealand - Azura Blue & 2 Paris Blue 89s !! (They didn;t know one & other)!!!!!
London: 2 of 3 there, found their way to me Azura Blue & White with Red Int.

This is like 90%. The others I cannot recall at the moment.

A couple (not knowing or having any clue as to the time here, called at 4AM !!) We now take the phone off the hook at midnight & hang it up at 8AM.

I know of no other McLarens in France

No, the ascMcLaren top looks like the small mercedes top. 2 small windows on the sides & a bigger one in the center,
It's cloth, not vinyl

Ascmlaren.com has parts for these cars, they are all new old stock (NOS) unless noted.

Link for the tops:

Aftermarket Tops- Not sure of the quality of the top, or if they look right.

Great car!

If you would like assistance in writing tot he original owner/dealership, etc, let me know. My wife speaks and writes fluently in French, and thus could translate the letter to English easily. Those online translators do not do a very good job as they are word-to-word translators and do not take grammar or colloquialisms into account.

By the way, my wife and I visited Normandy and Brittany last summer, Beautiful! We hope to go back to Normandy next year for our 10th wedding anniversary.

Shiny Side Up!

Thank you for the links. I already found the site ascmclaren.com. the price is in US dollars?

I live in the "region Centre"
France is a beautiful country, but not easy for cars that are not EUROPEAN UNION

I have a 1998 200SX that come from England and the approval procedures are simple, yet it is a RHD.

For the letter, Sandy helped me!

I just thought, I have a family in the New Jersey!
