The Mclaren (?) behind the MC12 looks like the body is made from recycle washing up bowls!
Yep the colour on that McLaren 600LT doesn't do it any favours frown
Looks like Luminaire green, definitely the colour I'd choose was I in a position to spec one, looks even better in the flesh imo
Yep looks like it.
Seen a few in the flesh now, considered buying a spider version a couple of times.
Best colours for me are Volcano Red, Volcano Orange and Napier Green, they show the shape and curves nicely.
Redline have a napier green spider in, or they did when I was there last week (delivering bits not buying anything I hasten to add)

A weekend in London always brings up a few spots... including seeing that yellow Aventador with a black 488 on the previous page in London and then parked at Oxford services on the way home.

These all being loaded up for the journey back to somewhere warm..
Pretty sure they are all owned by the same person who goes by @b14 on Instagram. I think Shmee recently did a video on his collection that he brought to the UK.
I suppose we should be glad these clowns are around to buy up this stuff to keep the these companies going.
Although, thinking about it, perhaps these companies should be thinking about how to make themselves viable without the support of vacuous billionaires.

Shmee video was titled First Drive in Veneno.

There are many luxury goods producers who would be out of business without very wealthy clients - and many Europeans workers who would lose their jobs. In every era there have been craftsmen kept in work by catering to the needs of the super-rich. These buyers are patrons to the high end car manufacturers in the same way that Renaissance princes were to Michelangelo and Leondardo.

And by the way - there may be some vacuous billionaires but I am sure some of them are pretty sharp.

they do/did spec isn't great though

And that is a white LaF above the Pagani. Along with the yellow one behind.

Got this before it went on the truck






And it isn't the light, that windscreen has near limo tint on it!
Looks like 'b14' off Instagram is packing up and going home.

Not seen one of these in the wild for a while...but felt a bit underwhelmed by it

I know I’m tragic for checking, but that has an ‘interesting’ mot history...
Love the fact he/she MOT's it every 2 or 3 years, and every time gets some rather large bills. Oh and judging by mileage using it too

Looks like Prince Badr bin Abdullah Al Saud's collection. He's a member of the Saudi Royal Family and Minister of Culture. Puts our Nicky Morgan into perspective....

How so? Maybe the tyres would look better if they were Goodyear billboards, but I quite like the overall vibe of the thing.

Not a huge fan of yellow cars, but that Ferrari is very pretty.
