Lucky bugger. Does he work for them? One of my good friends does..

He does indeed.

This is 1 of 50 limited '50th Anniversary' editions that are bing made, not aware of the specifics of the spec changes other than the Front Bumper and wheels.

TBH it's not bad to get in and out of, no worse than a Vee TBH.

Couple of my old mans mates work there as well. Chris Goodwin amongst others?

You should have said you were dk.

Why is it covered in blue tape and bin liners?

It's a new press car that's just in the process of having the engine run in, only had 36 miles on the clock.

'Bin bag' and tape is there to keep the paint fresh before it's shipped off to somewhere in UAE.

I found they are surprisingly easy to enter/exit. I bet your brother hates his job....

Yes, loathes flying all over the world working with super cars, just back from 3 weeks in China, flys out to Japan for 18 days next week, then off to UAE then off to California, it's a hard life but someone's got to do it.

If anyone's on Instagram his account is worth a follow: @trackdog99

He seems to spend most of his life flying here there and everywhere to drive McLarens & other high end cars with various press people. Also helps with set up of cars for shows and new dealerships worldwide.

Nice to be able to experience cars like that.

I've read articles saying they'd all have a 458 over one.. I wouldn't, no chance.

TBF so do I...

I can't complain though as I do get the odd perk from work, not quite in the same league as the car above but work were kind enough to loan me this whilst the clio was with S&MWM for 2 weeks -

They probably needed you to forward a copy of your bank statement first!

Love how they always use detailing tape. When they used to visit where I used to work, they'd always use a fleet/test car. Always covered in tape lol.
