I am finally in pocession of my 86 Eurocoupe. I know a few wanted vin and pics and said I would post it is really an incredible car and feel fortunate to have it. I stated in my other thread the car has alot of wierd options it is not supposed to have. It was manufactured by Mclaren and not the northtowne dealership in Kansas City. 26 Cars were done by them and 21 done by Mclaren. of the 21 done by Mclaren only nine were white. It is definatley 1 of nine it also said most of the early built one were t-top cars to make up for the lack of options in the eurocoupe. Mine is a hard top car. of the differences of what was supposed to be there and what is there are Leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob not even offered as an option but on mine. the smoked 1/4 glass was not an option it was supposed to have the plexi on the quarter faux vent as mine does but not the glass cover. The ASC Mclaren is supposed to be stickered on the back and mine has a little ASC black plastic and chrome emblem on the hatch. It does have the asc sticker still though worn on the smoked plexi on 1/4 windows. the only other badging anywhere on the car is in the front grill where it has the ASC emblem as well.
It was my understanding that the Eurocoupes were supposed to have the grey standard seats with red piping on the mine has the grey with grey piping normally found in full production coupes as well as a 140 speedo which was available as an option but should have recieved the 85 speedo. it is really an intresting car it was hit in the front but met with my body guy this morning and the damage is pretty minor mostly cosmetic and bolt on stuff. we will put it on the frame machine to make sure everything is 100% correct though before the rebuild starts. The engine bay is as complete as I have seen one all factory with all emissions stil intact and functioning the car runs incredible and am looking forward to returning the car in as near perfect factory condition as possible. I have an 86 rs capri as well that has been modded and it will be a trip to drive one origanal and then drive it. as well as having the two side by side to really compare the difference between the two. It ought to make a fun time at cars shows anyways. Enjoy the pictured if I can get the to post
