A hunck of plastic on wheels with a £10K price tag. Looks nothing like an F1 and no mention of what the power plant is (I assume there is one as it claims to be "in good running order") , or are there are just 2 pedals in the cockpit connected to a chain & sprocket?

Can't deny there's some effort gone into it. But WHY?
I bet the kit cost a mint! I wonder what piece of ****e it's based on...
Poor bloke might as well have built a £5 note bonfire and chucked a match on it..

i think its one of the most funny things ive seen in a long while,
even if he never told anybody it was a mclaren replica, i would bet that no one on earth would ever even think "that looks a bit like a mclaren" from any angle what so ever

For some reason I was thinking this was based on a Toyota Celica (new style). Nit sure why, could be totally wrong.
Oh, Something tells me that nobody will make any serious bids

Absolute classic! It's like he made it without ever seeing the real car or a photo etc., just did it 'from memory' of a 5 second clip on tv or something.
Who fancies phoning autoglass for a quote for the windscreen and windows etc.? lol
