Looks nice enough

I've been keeping an eye on that one. Does look good with a couple of services from Thorney. But with the current stock market issues may give this a pass.

A lot of car for not a lot of money.

It’s currently at £52k, what do you think the winning bid will be?

The French one (white) was on CC a while ago, the Mansory 12C. was also listed before.

62k plus fees id say.Its bit odd no mention on invoices about accumulators having been changed in lifetime of car thought that was an every 4 years job to do so technically on its 3rd lot

With fees and the contingency that would be dangerously near the £80k total. i would have dropped out at £55k bid.

Accumulators aren't strictly every 4 years, they are just know to fail and it's good to budget every 4 years. They say in the comments that they are in good order, but probably best to budget for a new set.

What I can say for sure is that it has done 1300 miles in the last 3 years, and the current owner says hasn't serviced it in 18 months as it has been in storage. Every independent advises against buying garage queen McLarens, so that's a definite red flag for me.

That looks a very good car. 3 owners, 21000 miles, and £36000 worth of options...

So, good ownership and mileage provenance, with decent documentation

Don't get too hung up on accumulators. Easy job on these and available for less than £1000. They don't always need doing and it is 100% obvious when they do just from driving the car

Might just be a very good buy for someone, and certainly at it's current price (£53000 + fees) cheap enough for a punt

I've got mine already, but I'd be bidding otherwise

That's been for sale at a dealership for around 12 months now, located about 200 metres from where those CC pictures were taken.

Hmm,

Few bargains on CC, no consumer rights and unless you’ve had it inspected or as a minimum viewed it before purchase you are gambling with your money

No refunds from CC on their 7.2% if you ultimately do not Proceed
