Your Mc Larens seem to be very well kept, we have an old single cylinder Mc Laren and is a lovely soft thing, do you have any early ones that run over there? ours was built in 1882 but is rather much like the old broom.

Yeah, we have a couple of oldies. No 2, which was at Dorset a couple of years ago, but is pretty derelict, although in a shed now waiting patiently. The only runner is No 227, which FTR3456 will be able to tell you more about,and lives at Shantytown on the West Coast, and another of similar age in Southland which is derelict but complete. A slightly younger runner is 455, a three shaft compound in the north island.
