Hi all,

Long time looking and took the jump from V12Vs to 650s Spider



Collect from McLaren London who have been excellent to deal with throughout.

Looking forward to adding a few miles over the next few weeks.

Congratulations you made a great choice the 650 is very special and looks lovely in blue.
Plenty of clubs to join if you enjoy a drive out and want to mingle with fellow petrol heads.

Congrats. Great choice. Owned mine (650s spider volcano yellow) nearly a year now, usual few electronic niggles which clear when reset, still cant wipe the smile off my (and others) face every time I drive. Awesome car. Enjoy your ownership. Gratuitous photo

I have feeling 12c and 650s will become very desirable again when Mac go all EV. Hang on to them lads. Well done lovely in blue and yellow. Skittles.

If anyone here is looking for a 650 spider, Alastair Bols currently has one listed with no pictures as of yet.

It is an absolute corker; it was being prepped when I was there last week.

Black, with plenty of internal and external carbon, great miles / history and wearing a set of 675LT wheels which look absolutely fantastic.

I recently purchased a car from AB and had paid for it around a week or so before viewing and collection; making the deal, presentation and handover was all up there with the best I have experienced.

With how particular he sources his stock, his level of prep and the same warranty as McLaren offer, it is definately a car to call about if you are looking.

The 650 spider is one of my favourite cars and a sure fire classic.

I bought mine from him, and would very happily recommend him to others.

It was back up there recently for a run out;

Managed to get out for first proper drive today. I have to say a step we'll above the Aston in delivery of performance. The noise of the Aston was amazing but with the sport setup even a three owner was impressed with the mc
