Looks a nice example and looks to have the track pack which they dont mention specifically.

I know, i have managed to find some old adverts when it had no carbon rear wing and , no carbon paddle shifters , so it looks like someone has upgraded a few bits

Looks like strong money for a 2018 car.

A lovely colour.

There’s something not quite right about the carbon fiber. The armadillo cover doesn’t have the McLaren signature V pattern and the carbon weave on other panels looks to be larger than OEM. Check with the dealership if they will guarantee authenticity of all parts fitted since it left the factory in addition to the original build spec (they can get the build spec using the VIN). There’s a lot of non-McLaren parts (usually chinese) out there. I’d also check if the seats and harness bar are OEM.

Get the VIN and work out the build date versus registration date. There’s several cars that have sat on forecourts and at McLaren HQ which seem younger than they actually are. I’ve seen cars that have had their logos changed from red logo to silver logo to coincide with the registration date.

It is being sold as an approved McLaren vehicle. One would expect it to be all genuine OEM, and if not, it should be disclosed during the sale process.

Another thing to note is the software version. Earlier 2017 and some 2018 cars cannot be updated to the latest software version - not backwards compatible - latest software version = SBM14DCC5KW003344


Edit: looks like the advert has been pulled. Did you buy it?
