Did they sell any 85-86 ( i don't remember the year) white mclaren capri hatches. I saw one in a pic next to a blue one but was wondering if it was real (if so i want one:rolleyes:).

Yes, 1986. There is a bunch of pics in the gallery section of www.ascmclaren.com but he has it listed as a 85

Lots of luck. Less than 50 ASC McLaren Eurocoupes, in white, were made. I had one and sold it last fall. Very rarely does one come up for sale.

WOW! I've never seen one in White. That looks totally mint with the Orange graphics. Nice!

Some full packaged ones were made.

1985: 150 Coupes
90 - Midnight Navy Blue Metallic
60 - Oxford White

1986: 115 Coupes
Midnight Navy Blue Metallic
Raven black
Oxford White
Platinum Silver Metallic
Smoke Charcoal Grey Metallic

1986 47 EuroCoupes:
14 - Oxford White
22 - Raven Black
11 - Smoke Charcoal Grey Metallic

I don't have the total for white for 1986...at least I can't put my finger on it right away. I think total for all years, you may have about 100. The 1985 numbers are unconfirmed as that was relayed to Sandy Block from an asc worker and the records for 1985 were shredded.

Less than 50 Eurocoupes TOTAL were made. Only 47 in the total run. 14 White ones were made.

Yep. In a nutshell, it was a slightly less expensive model.

I could probably swing a little cash and my 9L, although my kids seem to like the turbo sound quite a bit....

A turbo would work well with the stroker in the McLaren...:)

Hi All-
Thanks for the shout out. My 86 ASC McLaren Eurocoupe #19 of 47 is just out of the museum at Gateway. We just had to replace our computer, my hard drive fried & unfortunately lost all of our stored pix. You can see it at www.gatewayclassiccars.com , I believe it is still listed under "Mercury" there are several very good pix/info there.

I plan on shooting some pix this weekend for posting/album here. The McLaren IS for sale to the right buyer (preferably on here on FEP or ASC.com). If interested, PM or e-mail me and I will be glad to give you detailed info.

I will also be taking it to Indy on July 19-21 to the MCI show at the Speedway, hope to see some of you there!

Jim

FYI-
My Eurocoupe #19 is the last Oxford White produced at the Livonia, MI facility by VIN, I am unsure of how many of the 14 exist, I had heard there is only like 1/2 of the production run left out there, If anyone has more specific info, please post it to this thread. Thanks to Mike for the the links & info!!

Yeah, It seems that 50% is about the going rate for what we know about with the coupes accross the board.

I know the one I owned was built in Livonia as well. Mine was #13 if I remember correctly. Chris, XBGT on this site, now owns it.
