Its been advertised for 2 weeks maximum.
it is the cheapest 12C yet advertised, mid teens would appear to be the starting point now.
Bar any unforseen or unknowns with the car only thing I can see is that there is not a lot of extras such as carbon bits or a sports exhaust.
I am sorely tempted.

It's got a modest spec and most want more colour on their 12C.
2014 Doris is great but std wheels, no stealth pack and no carbon interior. Also, whether fair or not, 2011 cars have a stigma for reliability.
However, for the money, I would snap it up because you still get a full-fat McLaren with the complete backing/warranty of a McLaren dealer for no money.
With the sun out and plenty of interest in the brand right now, I'd say it's too cheap, get it bought.

Only very recently advertised and apart from being a relatively low spec car, no carbon, standard wheels etc..which are not really essential but do add to desirability/saleability.
All that performance for that money - Its a bargain, what you waiting for ? Not much more than some F430's and way cheaper than entry 458's

Black is a pig to keep clean and I do prefer the super lightweight multi spoke alloys, and a bright colour and loud exhaust would be preferable.
As always its the "for a little bit more" syndrome you could have X
Other issue I have is having to either fund SOR on my current car or take a big hit on the px value which then negates this 12c arguably being a cheap car.

Wow, that's almost too good to be true ? Good spec, FSH and sensible mileage Looks pristine with the wrappers and that so wonder what the story is ? Repo possibly
@120k for 13,000 miles, it is not that good value given the options and non-McLaren approved dealer.
Why would anyone purchase a car of that value and do 13,000 miles with the plastic wrappers is beyond me....
Is the car film wrapped as well ? There is something orange going on inside the side inlet ?!?

Yeah that is weird. I'm ultra fussy and particular about my cars but there is no way I could do 13,000 miles with that stuff on.Why would anyone purchase a car of that value and do 13,000 miles with the plastic wrappers is beyond me....

Those areas are not even prone to wear or dirt particularly.
If anything I could kind of understand maybe using a seat cover to protect the bolsters when getting in and out if you are a big and not very mobile person getting in and out the cabin
I know I'm weird but this person is either totally OCD or just completely mad
