Mclaren P1 in Byfleet this morning, i'd only just pulled out of my street and there it was a few cars ahead, it sounded ridiculous even dawdling through traffic.

Excuse the poor pic.

Saw this exact car in Birmingham on Monday or Tuesday of this week.

Is it anybody's on here

I still see one quite regularly (no pictures sadly).

Yesterday on the way home from school I saw a Jenson Interceptor, Ferrari California and a Bentley Continental

Today on the way home from school I saw the same California, Aston Martin Vantage Volante and Audi R8 V10 Plus.

Today on the way to school I saw an Aston Martin Vanquish

I love this post, here comes the next generation of PH'er, well done to you.

Unless he is a teacher at said school..

Or just a creep

Hahaha!

Nope, not a teacher at a school.

I will leave the creep bit up for debate

I think it's a press car.

P1 OOU is one of the two pre production cars retained by the Factory the other being the famous P1 OOV the car that did the T.V. and magazine reviews

I saw P1 XXX going through College Town the other week (or similar, my eyesight is shocking) on an all black P1 and it looked fantastic!

P1 OOU used to be on PP2 (Production Prototype 2), which is Amethyst Black (black with a hint of purple). PP2 has a more famous twin, P1 OOV (again Amethyst Black with subtle detailed differences), which has been seen on Top Gear and the like.

P1 OOU now resides on VP5 (Valuation Prototype 5), a Volcano Yellow car. This car has traveled the world, recently returning from a few track events in China.

In a interesting twist, the plate, P1 OOU, was used simultaneously on XP12, an allegedly static prototype in Volcano Yellow, at an event in the UK while VP5 was in China. I will clarify that the car was not seen on public roads with this plate.

The factory actual still has about 12 prototypes at minimum. I have heard they will be selling them off though.

VP5, PP2 and PP3 have been used by magazines and TV. Now a few customer cars have been used too.

I was over at Royal Holloway on Thursday morning. This wasn't there on the way in, but certainly got my attention on the way back out...






Sounded immense, even at parking revs.

Had a chat with the owner of this today at my local Shell.
Lovely car, thoroughly nice owner.

Fantastic photos! Please don't leave it so long until the next set...

I'll try my best!

Lordbenny said:

Pen fold...do you somehow photoshop all the other cars out of your pics. How come all the cars you take pics of stand alone in London streets?

Generally i'll wait a bit for a clean shot but I do sometimes remove stuff on photoshop.

Hahaha! Stunning car with a beautiful sound. I saw you when I came out an alleyway but the market was in the way, so I caught you when you were at the lights instead.

Stunning car and very much 'in your face' - how do you find other road users treat you? I recently watched an item on the classic car show and it contrasted how other motorists treated a guy driving an R8 and then a classic mustang or corvette. In the case of the R8, it was basically some abuse and people doing their best not to let him out of junctions etc. Curious to hear about your experiences! :-)

Generally pretty good Martin, no issues so far. I suppose much of it comes down to how you drive it, as there is no strealth mode in a car like this, so every daft manoeuvre is spotted. Most of the time Joe public are too busy scrabbling around for their camera phones to get some Instagram or Facebook gold of the car to do much else.
