Keen to join the 650S Spider party as well here. Anyone familiar with the black 650SS that GVE have for sale?

Not seen it but a) I understand with GVE a lot of their stock is on SOR b) you might want to do perform some research on dealer feedback

And check very carefully that it's an original UK car

I've been looking at the blue one VVS have. Looks lovely, anyone know anything about it?

I’ve not seen it in the flesh but apparently the front is in need of some chip repair, which they are planning on doing within the listed price.

Appreciate this, thank you. It’s not SOR but I’ve read enough that makes me want to stick to AB or the Mcl network for my first Mac purchase.

When I first started looking at buying a mclaren over a year ago this one did catch my eye but at £114000 I went for something a little newer. At its current price I think its a great deal!

looks nice that 650s but bear in mind if out of warranty any issues that need fixing will have to be done before you could get an extended warranty put on it.

My plan is to run it all through Thorney (inspection prior to sale / servicing & warranty). Just need to find a car .. where are they all ?! Sellers waiting for the weather to improve and more buyers to emerge I suppose ..

[V10vroom]

This is my plan too!! Lots of us 650S hunting.....

[LiveOnce]

Hopefully enough cars to go round!

[V10vroom]

Yes I hope so... like you need to find one ready for a Thorney inspection and warranty and I don't want to pay for the costs of getting it ready for a Thorney warranty.... good luck! I still have to sell my Gallardo so can't do anything until that sells.....

[LiveOnce]

Yes, they are thin on the ground. My expectation is that any costs to "get it right" would be swallowed by the seller but we'll see...

Good luck with the sale of your lambo.

No McLaren warranty with it - lovely though.

Makes the 4c feel small - the power delivery is so smooth - just that Supercar feeling compared to the still awesome 4c. I think if I get near the limit on the 650 then I’m way beyond my skills.
loved the 4c but the 650 is an enormous step up. Beautiful inside and very comfortable. The 4c got loads of positive attention, but nothing compared to this !! And the looks...

I do wish I'd held out for a 12C or 650S mainly for the ride but I am more than happy with the ride and performance of my 540C and I have to go against the grain and say I prefer the more modern dash as I never really liked the large tacho on the earlier cars but would obviously have lived with it
