The blue on the seats looks like painter's tape!

For me this car is worth less than one driven and for the buyer the what do I do now..... It would have no maintenance for years with no driving, seals would have hardened, yes it was a good investment, but it could have had the pleasure of driving and be worth the same or more for mine.

This looks to be a car that Mansour Ojjeh owns. They have been selling off some of their assets recently. The Ojjeh family owns a significant portion of the McLeran organization including the F1 operations. They sold their interest in the TAG watch group to LV back in the late 9's as I recall.

Nice!

It is. The seats are covered in white foam sheets, stuck down with blue tape.

I was imagining death on impact... I'm not an engineer so forgive me if that's not realistic

How someone could have that car and not even take the stickers off I have no idea. I suppose as a collectable or investment but the temptation would have to be too much for me not to drive it even if yellow is a shat color on an F1

If the car was never registered, do you still get the McLaren warranty.
