FFS! If I'd have known would have popped down to have a gander.

I was lucky enough to be invited yesterday to join some other journalists do some filming and photos...

Had a quick ride in it.... im speechless!! Here's a short video of spaceship (sorry electric) mode!

Is at that the back of what used to be a Bentley/RR dealer in Knutsford?

Yes, now the Mclaren dealer

1 Yellow one and 1 Grey/Silver one on the A303 heading West near Andover at 3pm today, common as muck.

Hi there,

Crap, crap, crap I drove past Mclaren Manchester on Wednesday on my way back to the office. I looked through the window into the rear yard and saw what I thought was an MP4 12 in the back yard, now I know it was the P1.

GUTTED !!!

Regards

Tim

My old boss's lad, Lee Christian is the lucky lad that's closing the door there. I called in a few months ago and he kindly let me sit in a 12C in the showroom and make brmm brmm noises.

I wonder if he's sold any P1's and what his commission is?!

A couple of new photos from my recent viewing of the final P1 Production Prototype - PP3 - at McLaren Beverly Hills.





Just in awe of this thing every time I see it!

That's a truly lovely colour, thanks for sharing

In ref to Appolo1, then regardless of wealth and ownership, I I do tend to find his posts somewhat belittling to others opinions.
He may be a thoroughly decent chap, but our exposure is limited to what's posted up here, and It would appear that the car collection and wealth does not makes the guy any less of an 'apparent' tool

Here's another of mine from that day:



Also 046 was spotted at Paul Ricard with some nice photos and a video here:

You posted somewhere a picture of 046 at Le Castellet (on uk plates) and then suggested a car in Geneva was the same one - yet it was on Swiss plates which suggests its another - any comment ?

I think this picture from the link really gives it some scale ;

An S3's not a massive car either

Don't know where you were led astray on the Geneva car in Graphite Grey, but at the moment I have no idea of that one's chassis number.

More photos of it appear here:

Personally find it quite interesting how small the P1 always looks in pictures. Looking at the car upfront, it actually is a good bit bigger than I initially expected from looking at pictures. It is more or less the same size as the 12c, a touch longer and wider but lower but does seem to come across looking smaller somehow.

Looks great in that dark blue with silver wheels.

At Dunsfold holding test drives for deposit holders last week... That's Tim Mullen the mclaren GT driver at the edge of the picture.

One of the tech here worked on development of the P1. Apparently they offered up P1 bodywork to a 12C out of interest & the 12C's oily bits would hang out of the P1 body all over the place, the P1 it tiny
