Spotted! McLaren MP4-12C...

[Biccaroo]

Not sure why but I thought I'd share the joy of seeing my first MP4-12C. It was sky blue with anthracite grey upper panels. Odd paintwork for sure, but it looked fantastic all the same. It was travelling at around 40-50mph for most of the journey but I had no intentions of overtaking... Makes me proud to be British!

I saw one on the M40 a few weeks back, same baby blue, but the upper panels were White - I think the baby blue is a protective film, which only partially covers the side of the car

I think you might be right about the protective film because when we were at a standstill the blue 'paintwork' seemed to have a strange, mottled finish. It didn't look right and your explanation makes good sense.

What's the general consensus of opinion on the aesthetics of the MP4-12C then?

Is that the crossroads next to the Trumpet Inn near Hereford?

It certainly is!
