Re: [ASC McLaren ] Re: 83 ASC McLaren coupe
Yes, true, a normal CC had nothing to do with asc...I don't even think they had anything added bodywise....
But in that picture of the Crimson cat in the magazine, that air dam has been added along with the asc wing on the back of the car....which makes me think that the air dam is from asc too...
...it'll be interesting to see what Peter's picture shows.
