So i decided to sell my 650s spider for the Lexus LFA that Bentley Manchester had in stock but ended up finding it too hard to part with the Mac.
Sooooooo, i've ended up with a 675LT instead!!!
Can't wait to take delivery of it in September.

Then you've never been in a 675LT because it's truly epic. Yes, the LFA is amazing, and that V10 sound too!!! but the 675LT is biblically fast and so engaging.

I think the LFA had a greater rarity factor to it despite being a bit older and probably not as quick. From an investment point of view it probably made more sense too, surely prices on the LFA are only going in one direction? Whereas there's a new iteration of Macca every other month tongue out

That said, it does look stunning. There's definitely no way you'd feel disappointed with one of those on the driveway.

The LT is going to be fairly stable as it's a limited, desirable edition.

An enviable choice OP, congrats! I'd like to think I'd pick the LFA for its mental engine, but I'd love to drive both and make my choice. biggrin

That is a lovely looking McLaren but...you've made the wrong decision!

-NA V10
-Not a derivative model like nearly all McLaren's are, how many special editions now?
-Appreciating asset
-Very rare

That said, owning a 675LT will probably make all these points slightly irrelevant every time you drive it hehe

Why do you have to wait until September? Is it not yet registered?

Looks ace by the way!

all good points but there was a leaked parts price list for the LFA and most of them are verging on vayron pricing so they are not cheap to run

It looks like it would be cheaper to employ a metallurgist to create some parts for you eek
