    Hey all,

    If anyone is interested, there is a F1 Mclaren car on display in richford motors near the O2...

    See attached images. Not sure what season its from though, its Hamilton's car and number 2 on it? Possibly 07 or 08?

    I asked would they take my Seat Leon as a trade in against it but I was quickly ejected from the building..

    Looks like painted plywood to me.

    I couldn't tell you, pics I took were from behind the window. Id be surprised if it was a replica, being who the dealer is but I don't know. They have a competition going for a Ferrari 360 and the tickets are €300 each :O

    No way the leading edges on a real car are 15/20mm thick like they are on many parts of that car.

    That looks like a poor replica. Was lucky enough to see the real deal in Madrid airport a while back, stunning, the flowing surfaces and curves only come across in the flesh, incredibly complicated front wing was a piece of sculpture.
