Will you start a thread on it? I thinks it’s cracking value. 
I wouldn't have had the balls to do that, look forward to hearing how it all works out for you! Hewbie2015 said:
the owner didnt reply on cc as he wasnt in the country
Last time I checked most other countries still had internet access! You can even get it on mobile phones these days.I have to say you have much bigger balls than me buying a car like this on CC. It's a massive gamble, but if it pays off you will have done very well for yourself. These early McLarens offer exceptional value at the moment.
Big respect buying that 12c .It will benefit so much from putting some miles on it.Surely there is no better package of comfort,speed,looks and usability than one of these at this price.Good luck with it. It is definitely a car that has been on my radar if I decide to get out of my Noble at some point.

Was interested in a 650S, McLaren handed out a list of issues to rectify. .Parts only was 58800 £.
Car had only two services done in 10 years. So, neglected.
PPI is recommended at all times, small niggles can cause big problems.
V Engineering could probably sort for much less as McLaren tend to go for new parts rather repair the issues …in any case the car is surely a write off if they were seriously quoting £59k to sort it. Car had only two services done in 10 years. So, neglected.

Its a private seller. He checked average pricing and wants the same for his car. Also saw today that McLaren spotted a oil leak at gearbox. So, that might be a additional cost. Happy the PPI showed all the errors. The invoices from McLaren could be mindblowing. This was worst car I seen, ever. Looked great from outside, but with hidden failures. MclaesLaren said:

That is going to be very painful for whoever buys it.sorry been busy! bought a new STO aswell! thread incoming! as collected that saturday,
car is on its way to V today for service, have a remap removed and general going over, all in all it drives fine, done a couple hundred miles in it , but wil feel better when its serviced! i will start a proper thread once i have the no doubt long list of s
t that neeeds doing to it from V. but either way its a gamble, im removing the comfort seats probablly for soe race seats, and will have it wrapped probs in my company livery (supercar transport) etc etc

Pulling up a chair & watching with interest.
I adore the 12C, the prettiest McLaren in my opinion.
I’m in a position to be looking at Jaguar F-Type R / XKR-S and the budget stretch to a McLaren leaves me with little contingency for issues…
I’ll be very interested to see how this progresses.
