Hi Guys,

I've come by a prototype part for a car, and just wondered what it was worth for insurance purposes.

What do you think?

Cheers

No idea mate sorry !

Looks like it could be a clutch, wheel or brake assembly?

[simac]

It's looks a bit like a finned brake drum with no lining inside it ?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't too sure what it was!!

Brake drum covers, Smart/Smart Roadster.

It's a prototype for a Mclaren F1, around 2002/3 vintage. Part of the brake system.

Smart Roadsters aren't quick enough to need anything that clever

[Stephen]

Apologies then, do you have any better pictures of said device?

I would imagine it holds some value, but only to specific collectors.

[Nazgul]

No apology required

I'll take some more pics and post them up.

The Roadster is a good fun car, once I've finished my induction mods it should fly, the remap certainly helped, a stronger clutch is next on the list though

[Selcouth_Feline]

So it originally was from a Smart Roadster?!

Wasn't a million miles away then if there covers, it explains why there's no lining in there !!!

Suppose there must be some McLaren F1 enthusiasts out there looking for something a bit different.

[Nazgul]

No - it's nothing to do with a Smart Roadster.
