I'm interested to see or hear where the guy got it from and how many ks are on the clock.
Could be from Japan Aussie or the UK would be first guesses off the bat.

There was a really nice Black MP4-12c that came to Teretonga as apart of the Playday on Track, didn't get to see/hear it go round the track, as when I'd arrived it was parked in the Tyre wall
Re: 1st in NZ.
Sunday drive with your resident Lexus test driver Akira Iida.

There is another McLaren in CHCH now (apparently there is about 6) He usually flys his private chopper to Dunedin for meetings but thought he would bring the car down this time.

I had a chat to one of the managers there. He said that it was a trade for an old racing McLaren (you'll see it in the McLaren showroom next door). Basically got an LFA + monies
oh, and obligatory pics!

151 kms that means the motor hasn't been run in yet and the rev limiter hasn't been released to allow it to rev over 9000 rpm.
$700 + K man that's pretty reasonable for that car.At that price I'm thinking the 1st owner was either from the UK or Japan originally.I wonder what #er out of the 500 it has I don't suppose you got under the hood to see the VIN plate did you?

Do it there's a pretty accurate list on the club lexus forums as to where most of the LFA's are round the world based off that #er on the VIN plate.
