THAT looks like an exceptionaly clean and 99%original McLaren! If
you REALLY want a 5-Speed, watch this car and get in at the end. The
headrest tops can be painted, using OEM color leather paint. I'd
leave the exhausts as is, but take the OEMs if available. BTW, I am
95% sure it's an original roof. I can tell the subtle differences.
Ask the seller if the air conditioning blows COLD! If not, figure on
a $2,000 "fix" (Most of them at 13 + years old need everything
replaced).
