Just seen a nice 600 LT Spyder at Tesco Express near my home in Halifax. Looked great in white which contrasts nicely with the black exterior bits. Noticed the orange callipers and seat belts.

It did look a bit out of place but sounded great and local kids enjoyed posing next to it.

And the one at Euro prestige is provisionally gone, as I put a deposit on it about 5 mins after the ad went live!

Hopefully viewing & finalising the purchase in the next few days.
Did you get to view this car ? Noticed they’ve updated the ad with photos ??

I didn't view in the end, was supposed to go and view on Friday but had a last minute spanner in the works so I said they should release it for sale.

Well the spanner in the works was McLaren Ascot emailing me a much better specced car with similar mileage for the same price which I have now bought!

Mauvine Blue, exterior CF pack 1 & 2, Clubsport pack so wing louvres & senna seats etc, then interior with extended carbon sills, carbon centre tunnel, speaker surrounds etc. plus front end PPF

So I would echo the comment above about getting in with a dealer as it seems these cars are being sold before they hit the internet, last week they sent me a Paris blue spider but it was £150k with no exterior carbon so I passed. That’s now sold also.

Now for the agonising wait while the car is inspected and prepped!

That looks stunning! I'd be tempted to have the wheels refinished in silver but thats a lovely spec!

Hell Yeah! What a colour, and the spec too.

I do think the official dealers are often quite competitive on price which makes them a good option if/when they have a car of the spec you're after, given the additional back-up.

The wait will be painful but at least you've got the whole summer ahead.

Enjoy!

I agree I have found the prices to be better than a lot of the independent dealers at the minute, especially for a spec like this with the carbon bits I was expecting it to be a fair bit higher. It’s not as if they are out of touch with the market as they are selling cars without even advertising them so the awareness is there.

I was literally 30 mins from paying for the other car when the email came through - would have been devastated if I’d completed on the other one! Carbon bits aside, I have a thing for purple cars so this is my perfect spec!

Praying the weather holds up this summer for once now biggrin

That is a dream spec right there, cannot see you losing much on that. smile
Now drive and enjoy it, if your close to Stoke bring it to the car event on 25th May, got McLaren attending and a few 600 LT's in attendance also. smile

I think they are a bit out of touch with the market if you’ve picked that up for £140k tbh,, it’s worth at least £5K more with that spec, what’s the mileage like if you don’t mind me asking as that can affect prices??

It’s on 18k, so compared to the £140k lime green that’s also on 18k but is very low spec and the £145k Ludus car which is on 16k I think this is a good price indeed.

You've stolen that, that spec, in that colour I'd have expected a main dealer to put that up in the 150-160k region, you got a great buy there!

Even better, a car that's been driven enough to keep it in working order, ~3500 miles a year is probably optimal.

Great spec, but i cant imagine mauvine blue is an easy sale comparative to some of the other colours so its probably reflected in the price they paid for it through the dealer market and i certainly dont think anyone is paying £160 for a 600lt presently.

I agree, the purple definitely won’t be for everyone. But then purple Lamborghinis seem go for more ££ than the more conservative colours so there is definitely a market out there. Different customers though McLaren & Lamborghini I guess so not a fair comparison.
