Thanks for posting this article.
I have always thought that the Special Vehicle Operations Team Members were thinking a lot about the McLaren M81s when they first began to design SVOs.
In a slightly earlier or later era the little 2.3 Lima engine may have gotten passed over for a supercharged V6 or V8.

I think I need someone to translate Foxchassis's translation. Lol. Awesome car though, somebody needs to bring that American girl home. I wish it was me, but I don't have the $$.

We've got a man on the scene, so to speak. One of our UK correspondents has let me know he's talking to the Italian seller and getting information and images. Hopefully, we'll get to hear a little more about this car.

Would love to know how much the price is!
That thing is WAY SICK!!!!!!!
1986 Ford Mustang GT-
Not much stock stuff left
347 NA power, CNC ported heads, Extrude honed Trick Flow Intake, Custom Cam
Suspension, custom k- member, TQ arm/pan hard rod... Much more
Restored and ready to race, made to go fast while cornering
1981 Mustang GT-
Old SCCA A-Sedan National Champ car
In the middle of rebuild
1986 LX Sedan-
Plans to be determined...
"Every day I learn how much I don't know"
I sent the guy several e-mails about it and never got anything back. By the way it is missing the bbs center caps.

Only one black one made? I found numbers saying 11 were made, but most say 10. Just doing some reading, pretty interesting, I had seen the pic of an orange one with an old McLaren race car but never understood what it was.

That car is pretty cool. I would love to own that.
Here is more information on the cars. The white one is mine and the for sale adds in Auto week are for my car.

Super cool.
84 5.0 ( currently restoring)
86 Toyota 4x4
02 Lexus is300
anyone know the VIN on this?
Current FEP:
1980 M81 McLaren Carb Turbo 2.3T #003P ... IT'S ALIVE after a 22 year slumber thread!
Past FEP:
1986 Capri GS 5.0- very missed but in goods hands
1985 LTD SSP- quick little fox 5.0
I have the VINs for over half of the 12 (2 "race" + 1 "prototype" + 9 production). I'll see if I have the VIN for this one (#8).
I do not have the VIN for yours. :hint hint:
