Material
Cotton/Polyester blend fleece (likely 60/40 or 80/20); standard mid-weight jersey knit with ribbed cuffs and hem.
Condition
Good. The garment maintains its shape, but there is a visible dark stain on the left cuff, and the red lighting in the photo suggests a need for color verification in natural light.
Demand Level
Strong. Formula 1 merchandise, particularly with retro-style graphics, is currently trending due to the popularity of 'Drive to Survive' and the vintage racing aesthetic.

$30.00 - $45.00 (Low: $20 if stain is permanent | High: $55 if pristine)
Estimated Retail Value
$65.00 - $85.00
Comparable Sales
Similar modern F1 heritage sweatshirts from brands like Castore or official team shops sell for $35-$50 on secondary markets. Vintage 90s originals go for $100+, but this modern tribute maintains steady value.
Description
Men's size Large heather grey crewneck sweatshirt featuring a high-quality graphic of the legendary McLaren MP4/2 C Formula 1 car.

Classic motorsport aesthetic with high-contrast red and black typography.
Key Features
Features the iconic MP4/2 C car; deep technical data graphic; official McLaren neck tag; high demand for Formula 1 / Grand Prix 'core' and retro racing apparel among Gen Z and Millennials.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The neck label features the modern McLaren logo with a size 'L' sub-tag typical of official fanwear. The complex technical text in the graphic is crisp and characteristic of authorized merchandise.
Flaws to Note
Significant dark stain on the outer left cuff (visible at the bottom right of the photo). Minor pilling likely present on the lower torso. Must verify if the 'red' tint is just the room lighting or actual color bleed into the heather grey fabric.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (best for vintage-style graphics), eBay (best for F1 collectors), and Poshmark or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Photograph in natural daylight to remove the red cast from the current room lighting. Attempt to spot-treat the cuff stain with a laundry pre-treater before listing. Use keywords: 'Formula 1', 'Grand Prix', 'F1 Racing', 'McLaren Heritage', 'Streetwear', 'Gorpcore'.
